New Engine not Logging In after Succesful registration...
So, I wrote this engine to target a very specific set of sites... There are only 30 targets total, that I just import into the project at the register page. It creates a blog on these sites. My problem is that it will register fine and I get emails to my inbox, but it wont verifying registration or move on to the login steps and then to the actual posting... Everything just stays at awaiting verification.
Am I doing something wrong here? Here is the .INI

the email looks like this:
https://www.site.com/register/confirm/288505008
Initially, I had the "extract from email=activate_url" and this corresponding section: I then used the modify url to go the URL extracted in the login section, but it didnt work...
;[activate_url]
;type=extract
;find url=*/register/confirm/*
;static=1
;default=%targethost%/login/
The one thing I noticed is that the URLs are https not http... could it be that SER doesn't recognize https links in the email?
