Registration question
 

Hello, I've been in contact with someone I know who would like to join this forum but says the registration process isn't currently working for them? Can you please tell me if it is currently disabled and if so are there plans to eventually reopen it?

Thanks for help!

What username are they using to register?

I am going to ask them. Is it okay if I send you a PM later? Thanks for getting back to me.

ETA: message sent with username details

I've read about people having trouble too - their applications are apparently getting rejected, but why?

This explains why we haven't had a new member in a month. Surely not ALL of them are unworthy?

I think you guys should look into it.

It's really cool and awesome how responsive you were to Missy.

Has there been any update on the current registration issues that I inquired about?

I understand if they haven't been resolved. I just wondered if anyone is looking into them.

Thank you!

Nancy, do you know someone in particular who wants to join the forum?

Several people on Facebook said they tried and gave up. There was one person in particular who mentioned it and I said I would inquire here on her behalf. That was why I posted about it last week. However, now she says she is no longer interested, so I guess not in that case!

It's a generalized problem, as you can see from the lack of new members. From what I understand, those who have applied have all gotten as far as "under review." Then, they either do not hear back at all, or appear to have been rejected. I say "appear" because it seems to be a bit of confusion about that.

Now, you might say, "if you don't know someone in particular at this point, why do you care, Nancy?" Well, as an old school Ledgie, I hate the idea that new membership has been brought to a screeching halt and will apparently remain that way indefinitely until this problem is resolved.

I had to reach out to one of the moderators to join The Ledge. When I originally tried to register, my email kept getting rejected. It's possible that other people were experiencing this problem as well.
