Nils, I think I know what he/she is talking about. When I come on the site, it asks me to "verify" my account. When I click on that, it simply tells me it doesn't have (any products to sell me? something or other I'm not looking for which has nothing to do with verifying an account). It then lets me into the discussion section, so in that sense it does work after all. It just acts kinda weird letting you in.
Account Verification E-mails not working?
