If you deactivate s2member plugin and change to bp-default theme, does regular registration work?

I have the same issue.
WP 3.4.2; BP 1.6.1; Whitelight Parent theme 1.2.7, Whitelight BP Child theme from lab zips. Tested on Chrome and FF.
Not using S2 Member.

Please share what the activation link the email looks like. If you don’t want to post it publically, send it to me at paul@buddypress.org. We’ve occasionally had reports of this issue but have not yet been able to figure out how to recreate it, so a copy of the email as received by the user would be helpful.

for what it’s work sign up works under these conditions:

1. Standard theme, no plug ins, email from hotmail account

But not under these:

2. Preferred theme [Whitelight BuddyPress child from LabZip - which otherwise works fine], plugins on, GMX.com account.

I suspect the GMX account as an unusual kind of redirect appears to happen.

Once I get my other problem fixed I’ll try the preferred theme with GMX and see what happens.
