When users get the activation email and click on the link
supplied for some reason the sql statement fails and
kicks back an error message stating "Either your
username does not exist, you are already validated, or
you supplied the wrong activation code." There was two
other posts in the forum about this and I wonder if
perhaps it has to do with a server config as the info
seems to be correct and other calls work without
incident.

    I have exactly the same results, problem did not show on
    previous releases. I felt I should back up the previous persons
    statement.
    I felt that it had to do with the new ref entry in trying to
    assign referals?
    I also noticed a statement in your release notes about
    automatically verifying the accounts, but I didn't notice a
    change to the emails or statement in the code?

    So far so good,

    OK, concreteman - I'm asking for more help on the validation
    problem. I understand your answer, just not sure what to do
    with it.

    Hi i added a patch to fix this check it out also thanks to this
    post https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?
    msg_id=2799952 i fixed the activate.php and then i found out
    the link in email never changed so i looked for it in the
    reg.php then changed "username" to "name" and that fixed it
    by the way i am not a admin of this project so make sure to
    make a backup of the 2 files thanks.

    This is because the script rejects any person's activation
    that has any identical fields in the database, be it username,
    password, real name, or email adress. I couldn't figure it out
    for the life of me either, but then I looked at the code. Just
    go to the "find cheats" link in the admin panel, and I'm sure
    that whoever is being rejected just has an identical username
    or email, password or name. any further discussion, you can
    contact me at: neonzone@gmail.com
