User register : sometimes it is impossible to activate account and 2 mails

Friday 15 July 2011 6:21:00 am

I think the new register system has a problem.
I don't want to use a workflow. I just want the user to register, and click on activation link I receive by mail.
But it seems the activation process has a security check based on session. That is the problem.
If register with a browser, which is not my default browser, when I click on the activation link in the mail, my default browser is opened, and I have the message : "Your email address has been confirmed. An administrator needs to approve your sign up request, before your login becomes valid."
The sentence is false or incomplete. Impossible to understand the real problem. And the user will never connect.
On the top of that, I receive a 2nd mail with another link to activate my account. It seems weird that user register is called when activating.

Can you confirm ?

I declared the bug here : http://issues.ez.no/IssueView.php?Id=18467&

When the user is created (after activation) the user is created in guest users, as expected.
