I just automatically upgraded to 4.1.7 and started to update my templates when I noticed that the part of the Member Home page where you can enter the URL to claim your link isn't working correctly. The essential bits are missing:
"Do you own a site in the directory which isn't currently associated with your acccount? To request ownership of the listing, first edit the linked page to insert in the section of your page. Then type the exact url as listed in this directory: "
When I check the source code I can see that <meta name="verify" content="xxxxx"> and <head> are there, but they're not displayed.
The tags have to be broken up in some way to make them not be treated as literal tags. I'll change it to this:
Do you own a site in the directory which isn't currently associated with your acccount? To request ownership of the listing, first edit the linked page to insert <<b></b>meta name="verify" content="{THISMEMBERACTIVATIONCODE}"> in the <<b></b>head> section of your page. Then type the exact url as listed in this directory:
interesting idea... Works for the <head> part, but now it looks like this:
Do you own a site in the directory which isn't currently associated with your acccount? To request ownership of the listing, first edit the linked page to insert <meta name="verify" content="xxxxx"> in the <head> section of your page. Then type the exact url as listed in this directory:
oh, you mean they're SUPPOSED to add the whole <meta ... > thing into their <head>? Because the last time I saw it there just JUST the number. Sorry, never mind - forget I said anything

Any idea?

Nothing wrong in what you posted that I can see. I guess you're saying it doesn't work for the meta part for you? Does for me: http://www.webmastersite.net/screenshots/16121.jpg

I believe it works if they just do the number, but doing it as a meta tag makes it more standard and invisible.
