Change user validation procedure for large website

**Summary** We need to improve our system for validating new users. Currently when a new user registers with our site we send them an email containing a link to a URL containing a 36 character unique identifier. Since this identifier is very long, often the link is broken, as it is wrapped across multiple lines. Also, since the identifier is so long we can’t really give our users the alternative of typing it in to a form. This should be a reasonably straightforward project, but we will have much larger projects in the future and there will be some great opportunities for those who perform well. Having said this, however, please do not bid less than you would normally would for this type of project. We will reject all bids that we consider to be unrealistically low. **About us** We are a rapidly growing UK-based Web 2.0 startup. We currently have over 12,000 members subscribed to our site, and process around 1000 transactions per day. Up until now we have built and run the site in our spare time, but are starting to outsource parts of its development as it gets too big for us to manage in our spare time. **Detailed Description** A detailed description can be found in [login to view URL] (MS Word document). ## Deliverables 1) Complete, working source code of all work done. Only those files that have been changed or added should be included in the deliverables. 2) Screen captures of email client tests as detailed in the work specification. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased.
