Forgive my ignorance if this has been covered elsewhere, but I can't locate anything regarding the topic and my efforts to contact Shawn to this point have been in vein. My brother signed up for a DP account about 2 weeks ago and still has not been 'confirmed'. As such, he is still unable to post, PM or modify his profile. Is this delay typical now? He signed up from a different IP than me (different house completely) so I'm confident it's not an issue of our accounts looking like duplicate accounts. Regardless of the reasoning, is there any way to have his account confirmed so he can begin to use DP? His username is 'macphx'. Thanks and I appreciate your time.
He should be able to post straight away, except wait 2 weeks to post in BST. Did he confirm registration via email?
I believe he has checked many times and never received the confirmation email. Any other guesses? Is there a way to have that email resent?
In DP, a newly created account will get active only after a mod / administrator approves it. If I remember correctly, when I joined, it took me 3-4 days to get approved.
I recently reffered a friend who is trying to start his own business. I suggested DP as it is a very good resource for small business and anyone wanting to start a website. He was able to post right away but now is not able to post anywhere.. LOL, he sent me a frustrated YM, being new to the net he didn't understand why, and he was getting ready to join "another" web forum but I talked him into waiting it out.. I hope he is allowed to post soon.
