The voucher you got is not bound to particular e-mail address, so you're free to register in the shop using any other e-mail, user data or invoice/shipping addresses; and from now on we will only use this new data.

The voucher code is the only connection between old donation and new shop account. Feel free to change your e-mail when registering in the shop

Registering in the shop went smoothly until I tried to follow the activation link. Then I got an error message about an invalid email address format. That seemed quite bizarre at first, as the shop had just successfully sent me an email. Then I noticed that a part of the activation link looked similar to an email address, but it wasn't my address. And yet some parts of it were eerily familiar.

It turned out that it was the email address I had given to the shop, only it had been obfuscated with rot-13. That address contained a plus sign, and the plus sign was not percent-encoded in the activation link, and unencoded plus signs have special meanings in some places in a URI. Replacing the plus with "%2B" produced a working activation URI.

So the shop software should be fixed to encode its URIs correctly, but until then, if anyone else has the same problem, try this trick.

That obfuscation seems entirely pointless by the way. Not only is rot-13 worthless, but the un-obfuscated address is included in the email anyway.

Many thanks!
alas the module is a "commercial product" and that algo is not invented here. I dunno what we'll do to fix it. Obviously we need to do something about it.

That's the joy... Does this module have open source code, or does it require submitting the bug to developer of the module?

Thank you,
Best wishes.

Speaking on the topic..
I too had difficulties with my firefox browser ..it didn't like the shop..
tried a few times..figured it was my settings..
rooted through them but couldn't find anything concrete to pin it to.
I wasn't about to spend all day figuring out the "why"...
I simply resorted to gurgle chrome to get the job done..
No prob with chrome browser.

edit: actually come to think of it that isn't a very clear answer..."it didn't like the shop"..hehe..
I had no prob with email's from the neoteam / neo ug with firefox...
Initially the 1st went into my junk folder until I set the browser to regard neoteam / neo ug email as ok. everything was fine since..
nor was navigating to the neo shop with firefox a problem.
My problem came inside the shop..
Firefox wouldn't open some pages.

From my experience with email authentication, the link is inside the mail html code, not in <a href> it supposed to be, but it got some garbage in between the variables. You can confirm your mail, if you take the sent link and restore it to the syntax shown in joerg_rw posted tutorial

It's PHP and tpl, the the source is "open" but not free.

[edit] I hope for dos1 fixing it by inserting a code line to escape illegal chars from URL or somesuch

Well that is weird..
I just tried to duplicate the situation with firefox and the shop site...
and If I go directly into the shop it's no problem now..

(Now the big prob I did find the 1st time around... and I haven't duplicated it since (it would mean ordering a second board ...which I really would love to do

) was the last steps in the ordering process..firefox didn't want to show the last steps in ordering..hence I ended up having to use chrome.)

The https://my.neo900.org/ http://neo900.org/pre-orders-and-vouchers links in the emails works fine..

But now ..If I use the other links provided in the emails
"order history" https://{history_url}/
"my account" https://{my_account_url}/
"guest tracking" https://{guest_tracking_url}/?id_order={order_name}
show up thus..
they aren't working properly. At least in my firefox anyway.

Anyway ..can't expect total seamless compatibility with every browser on the planet..
didn't confuse me or put me out in any way ..
I figured if I couldn't accomplish it in firefox another browser suffice.
I'm just happy to have been able to order.

the first 2 need log-in to work, which your browser might not do automatically. The third one is bogus and shouldn't be there to start with - I'll check if I can kick it out of the email template [edit] think I already did.
Thanks!
