Account Setup Question

[cpucandy]

Hi, just created an account for the Co-op. I see this message at the top of my screen:

Account not not yet activated. | Site failed automatic validation as of 2006-02-13 (make sure URL and site type is correct - if everything is correct, make a request in the forum for assistance).

Now this is probably dumb, but am I correct in my thinking that someone must first approve the account before I can go any further.

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

**UPDATE. I think I just realized that I must add the script to my pages first???

No, no one needs to manually review anything. When you click the Validate link, it does it right then.

Sean, thanks for the reply. I got it up and running. I realized that I needed to change the add format from the 480x60 to text links. I updated the php file but the type of ads being displayed did not change. Is their some type of period before changes are recognized?

Delete the contents of your .txt file.

Thank you again. That did the trick. If you need a hand with reviewing new accounts, just let me know. I would not mind giving something back to this forum.
