I can't get the site support system to accept my e-mail confirmation. For autoconfirmation it had sent me a link like this:
http://support.macosx.com/index.php?x=&mod_id=7&auto_confirm=string_omitted=
where, of course, "string omitted" represents the long string of characters that were actually part of the link.
When I clicked on the link it told me
So I saved the message as plain text, then cut and pasted the link from the text file. It still didn't work.
Next I tried entering my e-mail address and confirmation code manually. Again it told me

where, of course, "string omitted" represents the long string of characters that were actually part of the link.
When I clicked on the link it told me
ERROR: Confirmation failed. Please check your confirmation code.
