How Do I Get My Account Verified

Question
-
Whenever I try to include a link or image in a posting to an MSDN forum, I get the following error message:
"Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account."
This is a new account. How do I get it verified? I did receive an email about alerts that contained a link to click on. I did that. I have received no other verification emails.
Thanks for your help.

By participating in the Forums your account will automatically be verified. You should have the ability to post links and images now.

Well it sounds like the "error message" should explain this better... what it means and what needs to happen before the account gets verified. We've had several complaints about how it's not transparent enough.
Thanks!

Can someone go ahead and verify me. I'm trying to provide another person that was helping me with the links I'd found on my issue to resolve it. Maybe there should be a verify email that goes along with this.
You'll need to post in the current verification thread here:
