Hey guys!  
So im currently trying to setup discourse!

So far everything seems fine, email is all good etcet!

So when i first join my new discourse it tells me to register etc as normal, I input the admin password for the email to setup the account etc, I then get the email to activate the account and then well this is where my issues start!

I run the link emailed to me and then it brings me to the site and has a button `Click here to activate account` But nothing happens… Nothing at all the button is dead!

Why is this?

Thanks
