Confirmation Emails go to 404 - How to check a validated email?
-
I am getting the emails to confirm the address as 404 for some users (still figuring if this fails for everyone or just some).
How can I check if a user has its emails validated?
Because I think this user has the email already validated, but I am not sure how to check that.Thanks

Accessing invalid confirmation code should present user friendly message · Issue #12738 · NodeBB/NodeBB
Currently (likely) next() is called and the user is presented with a 404. A more friendly message stating that the code was invalid (expired?) or already used up would be more useful. https://community.nodebb.org/topic/18226/confirmation...

404 for some users
Confirmation emails expire after a couple hours, that might be why

@baris Got it. Thanks. It was validated.
@julian
The problem is that the user never got a "validated" screen, but the 404 instead.Maybe we need to have a "expired page" or "already validated" page for those cases?
The forum is only available for registered users, so maybe that functionality is clashing with the page showing the information?

@darkpollo the problem is the validation codes aren't stored indefinitely, so we wouldn't be able to show that an email was verified if all we had was the code.
We could genericise the message somewhat, and say that either the code is invalid or already used
