Hi all.
First of all cheers for great forum software Thumbs Up

I have a porblem though:
I've set up my forum to send new users an activation email.
When the mail is recieved there is a problem with the activation link:
Only the strForumPath & "/activate.asp?ID=" - part is formated as a hyperlink. The rest of the activation code: Server.URLEncode(strUserCode) & "&USD=" & lngUserProfileID is not formated.
Its easy to copy paste the whole thing inte a browser, but it doesn't look to good, sending emails that aren't formated proporly...

Could someone help me wit hthis problem, please?

Problems like this are often coursed by the email componet or the users email client.

Long links often get chopped in the wrong place when using components like CDONTS.

Try using a different email component, or finding a way to shorten the URL and see if that fixes the problem.

The way the activation email formatted and sent has not changed since sometime last year.
