This email I got was extremely confusing and frustrating. The first thing that is confusing is the _ in the hash. in
my email client, it looks like a space, since the link is already underlined. the even MORE frustrating this is that
you show my username in _lowercase_ when I registered with it in UPPERCASE. What's worse, is that it *is* case sensitive
when you click the hash link. So I tried over and over with DAE51D and kept being denied access, yet, I could recover
my password and also "login" (which then says I'm pending) with the UPPERCASE 'DAE51D'.

I think the email should just be a verification and not require the login. this is how many other sites do it. you click
the link, and you're golden. no re-logging in or any of that crap.

I had the same problem. The problem is that the verification
login requires a lowercase username, I registered with a uppercase
username so I was denied access (mind you, normal login with
uppercase username works)

Hello Daevid -

Sorry to hear that you had a frustrating experience.  Yup, GForge
lowercases the username that you enter, so that's why it's lowercased
in the email.

Yours,

Tom
