Login Permissions problem

[bobo1]

Hi, I registered to a friends msg board about 2 weeks ago. I followed all the steps, entered the activation code and a message appeared informing me that 'Currently your account is waiting for approval from a staff member. Once an administrator has approved your account you will get access to this forum.'
It's been 2 weeks and was wondering what is going on? any suggestions? I spoke the the admin guy and he says it should be a simple as registering? the board is qemsmsgboard.proboards5.com/index.cgi Help!

That admin has "limit registration" set to yes in there admin panel. That is why you get waiting approval message. The main admin needs to look in his admin panel under "manage members" and approve your account.

Also if that admin wants to take "limit registration" off tell em to go to "general settings" in admin panel and where it says limit registration set that to NO

Now when member register they won't get that message.
