E-Mail Code Activation Question

So, I'm trying to make a new account right now, but I have an issue. As long as I've been here, it's always taken around three or four hours for the e-mail containing the activation code to reach my e-mail address once the VE sends it out. Long story short, last night I filled out all the information for my callsign. password etc, and got to the part where you copy-paste your activation code, at which point I exited the browser and turned off my comp to go to bed, since I knew it was going to take a couple hours to get the e-mail in the first place.
I'm up now, have the e-mail with the code in it, but I have no idea how to get back to the screen where I copy-paste the the code to activate my account. Unlike most activation processes that I've seen on forums, there is no link within the E-Mail to send me back to the screen, and since I am not a member I can't log-in. So... how do I go about activating my account? FM/LCR Templar/Aegis2/Phoenix/mSSD Atrus/DEF/VEN/VE/(=A=)

The joinbot is broken, apparently. Basically you can't create and confirm any new accounts until it is fixed.
Least that's the explanation for no new recruits these last two or so weeks. ASL/LCP Jamasis/3SQD/1PLT/1COM/1BAT/1RGT/VEA/VE [ESC09] [BoT]  |

Yeah, I got it work. Thanks for the help.
I got it to work by just going through the account creating process again. Because I'd never "officially" created the account (as it wasn't validated yet!), it allowed me to use the same name and E-Mail.
Otherwise, I don't think there is a way to go "back" to the code validation screen. If you exit that screen you just have to do the process over again.

It's very hit and miss. I think only 10% of codes actually get out there, and even then not in a timely manner. So yes, I do think we need to fix the damn join form... maybe even revamp the whole join process while we're at it with the unified academy that's been on the idea table in near finalized form for oh... at least three years now?
