Is Minimal OPTIN no longer working in Web Forms ?

Question

I cant seem to get the code to auto optin
I created a web form, which includes the newsletter checkbox for a newsletter email list. I hide that, and make sure it is checked, as we *** add &OPTIN=TRUE
Now the inline editor changes it to &OPTIN=TRUE and maybe that is my problem - no idea.
Here is the code
<form name="catwebformform45938" method="post" onsubmit="return checkWholeForm45938(this)" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/FormProcessv2.aspx?WebFormID=34136&amp;OID={module_oid}&amp;OTYPE={module_otype} &amp;EID={module_eid}&amp;CID={module_cid}">
<span class="req">*</span>  Required
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" class="webform">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>{module_ccsecurity}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="Title">Title</label><br />
<select name="Title" id="Title" class="cat_dropdown_smaller">
<option value="68127">DR</option>
<option value="68125">MISS</option>
<option value="68123" selected="selected">MR</option>
<option value="68124">MRS</option>
<option value="68126">MS</option>
</select></td>

</form>
The problem is that, the subsrcibee does not get the optin email, which is good, but he is not subscribed either.

Answer 1

so I added &OPTIN=TRUE to catwebformform45938
so I had this catwebformform45938&OPTIN=TRUE
Which actually did subscribe them to the newsletter
However, they still got -
a) The landing page after subscription now shows
Campaign Newsletter Subscriptions
[Newsletter] - requires you to verify your subscription.
b) The email received now has the link in it.
I tried also adding it back to where I had it before, but then it went back to not being subscribed.
How can I get the landing page and email to understand they are subscribed and dont need reminder or the link.
