Resend confirmation email button does nothing

[carandraug]

The login window has a "Resend confirmation email" but it seems that all it does is show an alert with the message "Please wait 5 minutes and attempt logging in again to resend confirmation email". See:

codalab-competitions/codalab/apps/web/templates/account/login.html

Line 68 in 6406638

<a href="" onclick="alert('Please wait 5 minutes and attempt logging in again to resend confirmation email.'); return false;">Resend confirmation email</a>

I've tried to track when this was implemented and maybe find some lost piece of code that connected to it but I found nothing. This was added in commit 1feac4a to close issue #1084

Very good catch.

Faced similar problem. The notification led me to this github issue

Hello, I have similar prob.

My situation is that i have an account successfully signed up in the old server.
Although it is written that "This is a NEW server, you must re-create your Codalab account if you previously had one", but when i signed up with the email address in the old server, I have this error "A user is already registered with this e-mail address" . Then, i tried to login with the account in the old server, it's stuck at the confirmation stage, keeping saying that "We have sent an e-mail to you for verification. Follow the link provided to finalize the signup process.", but i received nothing. Neither from inbox or spam.

And the "Resend confirmation email" does nothing.
