Registration e-mail verification

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
when I registered, I went back to the home page, but no intermediate "an
email was sent to..." page. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The message - in the header on the home page, wasn't immediately obvious to me

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

On the home page, I could not register. The cursor appears as the standard arrow
instead of the hand.

I got the email straight away, which is always nice. I didn’t like that I was 
sent a
random password and then have to log in and go to my user options to choose my 
own
password. This is important to me and is never a good quality in a site. I also 
wish
the site would have let me use a 6 letter password, as opposed to making me 
uses at
least 8 letters. Even though it may not be very safe, I, like many other, like 
to use
the same password on all the sites I visit. By enforcing password guidelines and
making me use a different password, I become less likely to sign in to the site 
again.

I looked around the site then but realized I was no longer signed in after 
changing
my password. So I went to sign in with my user name and changed password, but 
it said
it wasn’t recognized. Then I said I forgot my password and typed in my email. 
It told
me my email wasn’t recognized. So I went to the authorization email I had 
received
earlier and clicked the one time link for a second time. It said I’d used up 
my one
time click so log in instead. I clicked the log in button and it said “page 
not
found”. Exasperated, I looked to the top of the page, and it told me I was 
signed in.
Not sure what the error was that caused this.

Everything seems to work as it should - upon registering, it took me back to 
the home
page where a 'Your password and further instructions have been sent to your 
e-mail
address.' block appeared between the navigation and search. Aside from possibly
making the confirmation stand out more visually, everything seems to work as it 
should.

I was able to change my password and remained logged in unless I went to 
channels
(http://beta.channels.ourmedia.org/og) or tried to create one. This again has 
to do
with the 'shared sign-in' needing to be implemented. 

Will revisit once that happens.

Merging the shared sign-in issues together.
