planthelper Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) tell him to be more patient, it say's it's validating, and I think, this can at times take 3 or more weeks, because it's done by a real person, as far as I know.once approved, a member change the nick name once a year.so no problems at all.

Anodyne Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Looking at the members list it looks like no new memberships have been validated since April?I have a friend in the same boat, didn't want to hassle Torsten but maybe it's time for a PM...

Torsten Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 The approval system no longer functions automatically. ie I have to approve each member manually after manually checking that their IP is genuine and they are unlikely to be spammers. This is incredibly time consuming and to be honest I have not been able to keep up with it for a long time. We are due for a software update and I was hoping that this might fix the problem [the last one made it worse]. I'll try and get this done asap as I feel really bad about so many people waiting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horus Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Ok, that explains why my bro cant get on.Explanations are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsten Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Looks like the sign up process is so seriously fucked up that even IPB support doesn't know how to fix it, LOL.I had the forum upgraded yesterday, but that did not fix the problem. So today they've been working on isolating the problem, but haven't gotten very far. All files have been reuploaded just to make sure it is not a problem with a faulty script.Hang in there new members - we'll get this fixed soon. I won't let this go now until it is working again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tizocAu Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Really my friend brave soilder is still authenticating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsten Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Really my friend brave soilder is still authenticating.There is no one in the system by that name. Please read THIS thread for details. He may need to sign up again, however it won't take long as I am currently approving all sign ups from australian IPs within a few days.also, don't use hotmail. it simply won't let the validation emails through. gmail is doing pretty well at the moment.

Torsten Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 or could it be that you're a careless timewaster and his name is actually 'bravesailor'? in which case he was approved last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
