Description Gregor Hagedorn 2011-09-11 01:25:11 UTC
In 1.18alpha (r96144), when a new user request an account, the email is sent as normal, containing the email confirmation link. However, when the user follows the link, 

(example: http://biowikifarm.net/metawiki/index.php?title=Special:RequestAccount&action=confirmemail&wpEmailToken=20ef61b6bc2b9ad9c8789be8de35838f)

while invisible to the new user the confirmation works, it also simply calls the Request account form again, prompting the user to "Complete and submit the following form to request a user account." This is highly confusing to the user and prohibitive to use self-registration.

Fixed in r96770. Thanks.
Comment 2 Gregor Hagedorn 2011-09-12 08:17:01 UTC
Thanks as well for fixing this quickly! -- If I see correctly this has not been tagged for 1.18 - can this be fixed in 1.18 as well?
Comment 3 Aaron Schulz 2011-09-12 18:49:55 UTC
Done in r96883.
