Hi guys,

I ACEd a newbie yesterday, and they've apparently not yet replied to their registration email yet they can still log on to hootoo. Don't think it's a problem, but unless they've not actually logged off it seems a bit odd. Any suggestions? smiley - smiley

That's normal behaviour for h2g2. Because of the way the two systems (h2g2 and myBBCi) are integrated, h2g2 ignores whether your account has been activated or not. This should only affect their access to other BBCi services with the same account.

Thanks! I can see how that could confuse somebody new - I can't remember what I did when I first registered. smiley - smiley

Replying to the email simply verifies your email address works. Some services require this, we don't at the moment.
