account activation... ?

Hi. I just signed up here, followed the links etc, and get messages that I’m restigered. Then, when I try to use features on the User CP, I get blocked with a message saying I’m not registered. I looked at my profile, and it says I’m a ‘guest’. Plz help!

All free memberships are listed as guests. One of the perks of buying a membership is use of all the features like custom titles and profile photos.

Which feature were you trying to use?

I was trying to use the ‘Who’s online’ feature.

That feature is not being used as far as I know, I don’t remember ever seeing a link for it.

ETA: I reported your post to the mods to get their attention as they can answer your questions better than I.

It may take a bit to get an answer as most of the mods/admins are offline this time of night.

There’s a ‘Who’s Online’ link in the User CP. The other stuff in CP seems to work OK for me, just not that one. De-activated, maybe.

That feature is not activated.

OK. Thanks.

I seem to remember Ed saying we average around 6000 users, if that’s what you were interested in knowing. From what I understand, that high a number tends to cause slowdowns if the feature is active.

Ah, I guess it would. Thanks BigT.

I seriously doubt a large fraction of that number would be online at the same time. Also, many people (like me) have their online status hidden, so the feature wouldn’t include them anyway.
