Boone -- any chance you can look at this today? The user is saying that the activation key isn't working for him. I'd like to activate him manually but can't do that at the moment

It's failing because there is an existing user dhalle with the email address , also belonging to a David Halle. The other account was created in 2011, and can be accessed via the password-reset mechanism. I assume it's the same person?

If there's a bug here, it's that the registration process allowed the user to sign up using this email/login. Unconfirmed is working properly.

Got it! thanks so much, Boone -- I appreciate your looking at this quickly.

Marilyn, can you please inform David of this?

Boone -- letting users know that they already have an account registered on the system isn't a bad idea, as this situation is not completely uncommon.
