> We’ve just relaunched a forum, switching over from other forum software and in the process we noticed that a small percentage of those who had moved hadn’t activated their accounts, so we thought we’d give them a helping hand by sending them a reminder to do so.

In the process of doing this I have just noticed that people are clicking on the link in the activation email (which takes them back to the activation page on Discourse), however from looking at my Mandrill click stats, it appears that many people don’t realise they have to click a second time on the activation page itself. Therefore a number of the accounts haven’t been activated.

Would it be possible to simplify this process to make it just a one click process (i.e. a click of the link in the email to activate their account)?
