The page that DVX returns when a user clicks a registration link should give a link to YouDescribe #132

The page that DVX returns to the browser when a user clicks on the link in the 
confirmation email is simply a link of text; the page needs to redirect to 
YouDescribe, with confirmation.

"link of text" should be "line of text".

DVX does not return HTML, simply an HTTP Status code and a line of text. This 
relates to the DVX API:

.../user/validate?xxx=yyy

This includes the response that DVX returns if registration is successful, and 
also any messages it returns if there is an error.

For now, it can just have a link to http://youdescribe.org/. DVX should 
parameterize this, so that eventually YouDescribe (or other clients) can pass 
the URL when the user registers.

Later on, clients such as YouDescribe could pass a URL which will be used in 
the Email confirmation (e.g. http://youdescribe.org/confirm.php), and DVX would 
add the parameters which it currently puts in the link. Then the YouDescribe 
page will access the .../user/validate API, and handle the return messages 
within a YouDescribe site page. This would hide any links to DVX from outside 
YouDescribe.

Related to this:

1/. The subject of the email which DVX sends when a user registers is:

"A message from DVX"

For now it ought to be:

"Registration with YouDescribe (action needed to complete registration)"

So that it's clear they are registering with YouDescribe (they don't know who 
"DVX" is!)

2/. The body of the email says:

"Thank you for registering with DVX Please click on this link:"

It ought to read:

"Thank you for registering with YouDescribe. CLICK ON THIS LINK to complete 
activation of your account:"

so that it's clear that they need to click on the link to use their account, 
otherwise it sounds like it's optional.
