This is odd, and difficult to reproduce, but occasionally the activation emails sent to new users have the wrong links in them. For some reason, it sometimes sticks /core/ in the middle of the path for new user activation emails. (Although it doesn't do it for me in testing, users write in with support issues.)

I've tried changing the Email Body Text Phrases 'activateaccount_gemailbody' & 'activateaccount_change_gemailbody' to simply hardcode the link, rather than letting it fill in the base path via variable, but I still get reports that sometimes the new users get the wrong link. I've cleared the system cache too.
Is there a path setting I have wrong somewhere?
Can you suggest a safe way I can redirect people who show up at http://forum.*ourdomain*.com/core/re...n/activateUser and/or http://forum.*ourdomain*.com/core/activateuser so they don't just get a 'Invalid Page URL' error and no way to know haw they should activate their registration correctly?
