When registration verification received by the user, the activation link is in text format instead of url format. Anyway to change it.

If you are using the standard method of require email activation, then try the following as a test.
In Members.subs.php look for line 782
In Members.subs.php look for line 782
Code: [Select]
sendmail($regOptions['email'], $emaildata['subject'], $emaildata['body'], null, null, false, 0);change that line to
Code: [Select]
sendmail($regOptions['email'], $emaildata['subject'], $emaildata['body'], null, null, true, 0);That false to true should force an html copy to go out as well. By default most forum emails don't go out as HTML, I think since they are more likely to be flagged as spam, but TBH I'm not sure.

O_o
It's a while I've seen a client/webmail not able to present anything that looks like an URL as a link.
Heck, it was an SMF feature same ages ago. lol

Yup ... all of mine do, they do not care its plain text.
Maybe if the link gets longer than 70-ish characters and the client line breaks it, maybe the txt version gets mussed up.

Will it be fixed in the new release or anything can be done now?

Section C of the rfc3986
https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt
Says to put angle brackets before and after the url in plain text emails.

https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt
Says to put angle brackets before and after the url in plain text emails.
This is quoted below;
QuoteBerners-Lee, et al. Standards Track [Page 51]
RFC 3986 URI Generic Syntax January 2005
http://example.com/
These wrappers do not form part of the URI.
In some cases, extra whitespace (spaces, line-breaks, tabs, etc.) may
have to be added to break a long URI across lines. The whitespace
should be ignored when the URI is extracted.
No whitespace should be introduced after a hyphen ("-") character.
Because some typesetters and printers may (erroneously) introduce a
hyphen at the end of line when breaking it, the interpreter of a URI
containing a line break immediately after a hyphen should ignore all
whitespace around the line break and should be aware that the hyphen
may or may not actually be part of the URI.
Using <> angle brackets around each URI is especially recommended as
a delimiting style for a reference that contains embedded whitespace.
The prefix "URL:" (with or without a trailing space) was formerly
recommended as a way to help distinguish a URI from other bracketed
designators, though it is not commonly used in practice and is no
longer recommended.
For robustness, software that accepts user-typed URI should attempt
to recognize and strip both delimiters and embedded whitespace.
For example, the text
Yes, Jim, I found it under "http://www.w3.org/Addressing/",
but you can probably pick it up from <ftp://foo.example.
com/rfc/>. Note the warning in <http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/
ietf/uri/historical.html#WARNING>.

I’m not sure where it’s set but yes I’d give it a try. I guess on the part where it’s generated?

Interesting recommendation ... something we should try for sure! ... Thanks for pointing that out.
I tracked this one so we don't forget.
