Hi Instead of clicking on the link in the message to confirm, you can just reply to the message. What I meant by adding a profile was that if you join a list via E-Mail, you can not do anything with the group from the website unless you add a profile. This doesn't mean another profile but rather the one you already have created. If you join the list via the website, meaning you must use the visual verification, you automatically add the profile. If on the other hand, you join via E-Mail, you must add your profile yourself.
