Thanks, this worked!

Meanwhile, I updated again and @justin, I may have experienced the bug that you mentioned.

This time I followed the exact same procedure as before but after I registered for an account, I wasn’t sent an activation link. Instead, I was sent the welcome message!

I requested Discourse resend the activation link, and that worked.

My user stayed staged.
