A handful of people who are registering for this site are in the “Pending” state awaiting for them to verify their email address using the link in the verification email the system sends. If you are one of these, check your “Spam” folders. If you still can’t find the email use the Contact Us form under the Help menu to let us know and we’ll manually approve you. You should then be able to login.
P.S. Don’t forget to upload your avatar of choice by visiting My Account and editing your profile details.
John,
One of the very few useful things about the Livejournal site were the notifications, so you could at least see if someone had replied to a comment.
Was there any thinking about including something similar here or was it just not feasible with the site architecture/no real demand etc?
Hi James. It is not natively supported by WordPress, but I am looking at options for how to add it for a forthcoming release.
Please advise how to set up to use the new site. I am old and not IT wise.
Please follow the instructions under Help->User Tips. “How to Register”.
We currently have 29 users pending from more than 1 day ago. If we hear from you, we are ready to manually approve your accounts. If we don’t hear from you, we will probably have to start deleting these pending accounts. I suspect some of these accounts were abandoned, and their owners just tried again and got in.
