Hello, I have a problem with a feature of this forum. I hope this is the right place to post it, too?
When adding a new email address a confirmation email is sent correctly. But when clicking the link it results in a page not found error. I've tried it multiple times (also with copy paste), but I can't activate this new address. Can someone help me out here? Thanks.
Best regards,
Maik
Hi Maik,
The bug you're hitting is this: Changing a user's email - bug - Discourse Meta
But there's a workaround here: On email address change second confirm fails due to email customization - #21 by pfaffman - support - Discourse Meta
The software is sending “confirm your new email address” emails with links like https://forum.xx.org/users/authorize-email/c7ed779eb28c049ec4a5105dd9e07013 rather than https://forum.xx.org/u/confirm-new-email/c15d4bc33211e586b70572195f7dac89.
So if you get that URL with authorize-email in the URL, change URL that to contain confirm-new-email and reload it.
Thanks Daniel, the workaround did work
