Registration validation email links not clickable

Hi there. First post. I bought the Chronoforms 3.1 book this morning in hope that I would find my solution but I did not. A thorough search of the forums didn't solve my problem either!

My registration form works fine except the links in the message body are not clickable. I can cut and paste them and they work fine. I'm using the CFv4 and Joomla 2.5.

Any thoughts please?
TIA

Hi GuyManDude,

There's nothing clever about the links. What do you see if you view the source code of the email with the link in it? What is the URL of the link?

Thanks for following up. I'm not sure how to look at that source code. The actual email was sent to a test Hotmail account and looking at the source of that message didn't have anything at all in regards to the message content.

The URL of the link is:
http://localhost:88/joom2/index.php?option=com_users&task=registration.activate&token=5680b3e10a48fb30b2ce8d80a40ea191

The source code from the form itself is below:

===================================================================================================

<div class="ccms_form_element cfdiv_text" id="text_01_container_div" style=""><label>Name</label><input maxlength="150" size="30" class=" validate['required']" title="" type="text" value="" name="text_0" />

Hi GuyManDude ,

I'd guess that the problem is that the link is to 'localhost' and so will only work if you are on the same computer when you click it, and maybe not then. This needs to be a link with a proper domain name to work across the internet.
