I just did the sign-up. I hate having to wait for the activation email, then click activate then having to "relog".

Sometime when this happen, I don't even go further and never even try the service. Do you you really need to wait for me to click an "activate" link before letting me try your service ?

Hmm, thank you for that. We don't really need emails to be verified, it's just for forgotten passwords. I'll see if we can get it removed right away, thank you.

EDIT: We've changed the signup process to log you in immediately after activating, and we'll remove the activation requirement soon, thank you!
