This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
In the email that is sent out to new members of webplatform.org, there is a link that lets you confirm your email and another one that cancels the whole thing. But they are too close together, too similar in length, and too similar in URL structure that it's too easy to click the wrong link... which I almost did. Excerpt from the email: To confirm that this account really does belong to you and activate e-mail features on WebPlatform Docs, open this link in your browser: http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/Special:ConfirmEmail/b837cc10458ab3b2c3ae098b8644174d If you did not register the account, follow this link to cancel the e-mail address confirmation: http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/Special:InvalidateEmail/b837cc10458ab3b2c3ae098b8644174d This confirmation code will expire at 19:39, 8 October 2012.
I don't think the links are that big of an issue, but perhaps we could use some style to make nice buttons for the links that will tell them apart. Perhaps part of the confusion could be due to a users email client and its configuration. Not sure how we would test in enough clients to make something acceptable.
