Unfortunately, above the check boxes for what you want to get email about, I have the message "Your e-mail address is not yet authenticated. No e-mail will be sent for any of the following features." Immediately below that is a link called "Confirm your e-mail address". | I've created an account, typed in my email address on the "My preferences", and have tried to tell that page to email me when changes are made to the pages I'm watching.

I have checked the email address listed in the "My preferences" page several times, so I know that's not the problem. Can someone help me figure out how to confirm my email address so that I can start getting notices? | ||
