Invited users can't register Error: invalid-token...

[sfchun]

Hello ,

Recently I invited friends to join my forum, and I found back an old issue, but I guess this time it won't be the same problem origin...
previous case : [Invited (future) users can't register](https://community.nodebb.org/topic/6525/invited-future-users-can-t-register url)

Nodebb : latest version
plugin : Emailer (Local) latest version

When an invited friend (with clear cache/cookies) , click on the link to register, he get an invalid token error message.

link received to register looks like :
http://mydomain.com/register?token=65a03575-8a79-4010-ae1f-d94c9fe7f8cd&email=my.friend%40hisprovider.com

Here is what I get in my logs :

Invitation tokens expire in 24 hours, are they clicking before that? Maybe we should increase that time 24 hours seems pretty short.

haha! might be this -_-;
But a more explicit error message would be nice

The 24h delay was the issue.

Thank you.
