[Apc-aa-coders] Alerts - subscriptions don't seem to work properly

[Mitra <mi...@ea...>]

Hi

The subscriptions system doesn't seem to work for Alerts, here is 
what happens, you should be able to repeat it easily ...

I go to http://www.byronbaykm.com/alerts.shtml
Fill in the form with my email address, and set "instant" and one of the feeds.

I receive an email of the form

>Somebody requested to receive regularly new items from our web site 
><http://www.byronbaykm.com>byronbaykm at the moment they are added .
>
>You will not receive any emails until you confirm your subscription. 
>To confirm it or to change your personal info, please go to
><http://www.byronbaykm.com/alerts.shtml?aw=wourf>http://www.byronbaykm.com/alerts.shtml?aw=wourf.
>
>Thank you for reading our alerts,
>The Econnect team


(We'll ignore that it says "Econnect" for now :-)

When I click on this address, I get the same form again,   why? It 
already knows who I am, surely it should just confirm my email 
address.

So I type in the same email address and password, and it comes back 
with a screen  that says ...

"There was an error in your subscription"

Ram has asked about trapping the error so we see what it was, but my 
question is why are we getting an error in the first place?
