I've got a question regarding the whole registration process. I noticed Gail O'Rourke said she had the same problem I had after registering. And apprarently Matt Meiser is (or was) having some trouble getting on. I could see my name showing up on the home page next to "Most Recent Member:" and I could read the thread under the Welcome Forum announcing I had joined, but I didn't appear on the Member List yet. I wasn't able to post anything but I was able to send PM's.
So in case we point folks here, what should we tell them about the normal turnaround time between registering and being able to post? And wouldn't it make more sense to already have the person showing up in the Member List before the Welcome thread for that person goes out? Or maybe have a 2nd email sent to them once they're finally set up, and tell them in the first email that they wont be able to post until they get the 2nd email? I'm just confused about the whole process and kind of dont think I'm the only one.
I also looked for the Support Forum when I went to post this and noticed there isn't one. Should there be?
I realize these are just the kinks that have to get worked out starting up a new forum. Just thought I'd throw the questions out there.
