Is there a fix for this? We are new Moodle users and see this error occasionally. It seems to happen when new users create an account then click on their confirmation link from Hotmail or Entourage-on a Mac.
Entourage tries to be helpful and make the link hot, which is lovely except in doing so it alters the url. The "r&s" before the user name changes to "ramp;&s"
It looks like (&) is converted to its html value (amp;) and the original (&) is left in place.
I've not been too concerned since Entourage still provides the original link, and the email tells them if they have problems to cut and paste the url into a browser. However, I just found out that Hotmail only provides one link..the mangled one.
This example is from Entourage. The second link, with the code between < > is hot, but broken (test4aj was my user ID).
Any help on this is appreciated. We don't know how many of our Teachers will be using Hotmail, but we'd like to fix this as soon as a solution can be found.
If I need to alter the error message, I can but hope there is a far more elegant solution. Thanks!
