Greeting all. I'm having 3rd party users check out the application. Please refer 
to the appropriate attachments for screenshots. We want the 3rd party users 
to be able to subscribe and unsubscribe to lists but the user does not need to 
create a listserv account (nor do we want them in the listserv www 
interface). Here's the deal and my current issue:

000219.png shows a 3rd party person using the www listserv subscribe screen 
(not part of the ListServ app even though it looks like it). The screen has 
disabled links so the only buttons the user can click on are the 
Join/Leave/Reset buttons.

000220.png shows the message that (thanks to Ben's help and others on this 
forum) displays 'You must now check your email to confirm your signup!'  
Again, it looks like I'm in ListServ 15.0 but it's only displaying the graphics and 
none of the links work (i.e. there are no links on listserv.lgca.org and the little 
icons etc. because I disabled the links in the html - again not in the listserv 
application although it looks like it)  I'm forcing the user to stay OUT of the 
listserv application - I just want them to subscribe or unsubscribe to lists, not 
create a listserv account.

000221.png shows what the user sees in when they log in to their mailbox. 
There is a link to confirm their request to join the list.  The user clicks on this 
link which now brings me to 000222.png.

000222.png shows the message that the user has been added to the list. This 
time, the user IS in the Listserv application and that's exactly what I do not 
want. Now they can click on the links and go to subscriber's corner etc. BUT 
the user doesn't have an account, doesn't have an account password, and 
this screen should just get shut down. Instead, the curious user wants to log 
in and they get confused where to go from here.

My question is: Is there any way to direct them to a similar 000222.png that is 
NOT in the Listserv application, lets them know they have been subscribed, 
and tells them to enjoy life. Maybe I've got this all wrong and they should be 
directed back to the Listserv app so they can manuever around and see their 
lists etc. But, because they don't have a listserv account and they've just 
signed up for a list and are now directed to the Listserv application, the user 
doesn't know what to do at this point. Maybe the user should be forced to 
sign up in Listserv first before signing up for lists? Or, can we direct them to 
another screen that keeps them out of the listserv application completely? I 
need some expert advice again and appreciate any insight.

Dan
