[Forums] Forum account activation email triggers Gmail warning
Posted: Thu Jun 10, 2021 1:27 pm
I recently created my forum account. When I did, I needed to activate my account by clicking on a link in an email sent to me by the forum. When I opened this email, I got a warning from Gmail:
"Be careful with this message
Gmail could not verify that it actually came from lordxandor@gmail.com. Avoid clicking links, downloading attachments, or replying with personal information."
and it also had a red no-padlock icon with the hover text "net-core.org did not encrypt this message".
When I clicked on the link, it worked fine. But some people might find the warning intimidating, and not want to click on the activation link. So I think it would be good if something could be done to fix the activation email so that it no longer triggers a Gmail warning.
