Charlie... i'v e been talking to a few other guys about this issue. They tried to help by looking into the problem. I'm aware that the fellow works and may not have the time to check all the new applicants into the system, but that's the point. Someone else with more time might be able to step in. The system appears to be WAY backed up by a few pages with no end in sight and apparently there's no else who can just throw the switch and allow new applicants to officially join. Its over 2 mths now for me.
