[Serusers] problem with serwev confirmation...

[Barry Murphy]

Hi Alistair,

Same list different thread.

Yeah I did notice this mistake I made and corrected it, however since doing
so, when I go to the confirmation page it says "opening page" with the vlue
bar slowly moving across, never stops until timeout has exceeded. It's doing
it's thing in the backround as it copys the user to subscribers but still
not removing from pending, I may need to edit the code manually however
didnt really want to do this. If I click the confirmation, see "Opening
page" then click refresh  I get:

error in SQL query, line: 43
We regret but your voipweb.fast.co.nz confirmation attempt failed.
Please contact voip at fast.co.nz for further assistance.

Removing pended users, well I can do this at midnight every sunday maybe.

Barry
