Can you post the link it took you to?

@Marc, I'm guessing this is the only email key you've recieved and as such your account isn't validated?

Yeah, my account wasn't validated [still isn't]. I went to my inbox, clicked the link, and got the invalid error.

This seems like more of a mix up with error messages. The key is valid and your email address has been validated. I can only presume that this is the second time you had clicked on the link (or maybe your email client checked the link for you to make sure it was "safe") and as such the system couldn't find a profile to update (as it'd already been updated) and thus it showed an invalid key error. Either way, I think I've fixed the error message so it won't tell you it's invalid when it's not

@Marc: Looking at your profile, the email has been validated so I guess the same applies.

Okay, I had a few problems validating:

a) I clicked to resend the email, and it took a good 5 minutes getting there.
b) When I clicked the link, it said "Account Verified" yet the form to resend the email was still there. Just think you should remove that.

With the email system at the moment, all emails get given a priority (1-10) and are added to a queue. The server then works its way through this queue and will send a set amount of emails every 6 minutes (as that's easy to divide by). I've got a few ideas on how to cut this time down to sending emails every 2-3 minutes though.
