Activation problem

I have received an activation email, but if I try to follow the link inside I get this:

[quote]
We could not activate your account because this web address is not valid. Make sure that you have the entire address from the email, and that your email client has not split the address over several lines.

Please try again with the full address from the email that you received. If it still does not work, try filling in the activation form:
Activation form

If you do not know your activation code, you can find it in the email that was sent to you when you first registered. To have it sent again, please click here:
Send new email with activation code.

If all else fails, email the administrator, making sure that you include your registered email address and username. [/quote].

Can someone set it up manualy?

Thanks

I've sometimes noticed that commas and full stops can be accidently placed in the linked url (never at TechSpot though)
You may be able to right click on the link, then "copy shortcut" then paste it in your browser address area. And then confirm that there are no puctuations at the end of the link (that you could backspace and remove).

Admin here, will come along and resolve this issue for you soon, otherwise.

Have tried that already. Same result.

Yeah, it seems I actually click ˝send new activation email˝ three times. Every mail was different, but the third one worked.

Thanks anyway.
