It might take a day or so yet, SpyderHyder, especially if there's a weekend in there; maybe even more if it's not all that easy to find & verify that you are really who you say you are/from where you say you are from, given just the info that you've entered in your registration details - but aside from that, all this checking & processing is done in an effort to make sure the Forum remains usable and isn't swamped by dodgy registrations/spammers/scammers/unsolicited ads, etc. and while there might be a couple of us Moderators who can help with it
juuuust a little, the majority of the effort all comes back on one person who already puts in a heap of effort elsewhere just to keep us running; and occasionally, keeping the site running takes priority over anything/everything else!
But rest assured, all your joining processing will be completed just as soon as it can be, and your username will turn
blue to signify that! In the meantime, please be patient, or if you want to hit the ground running once you
can post, reply, etc, there's all those links
SpyderBOT listed that you could be reading; plus there's a bunch of
Stickies that are permanently listed at the top of each section/sub-forum which contain a heap of info that will help you get the best from the Forum
AND help others to help you too; and apart from those, you can always still scroll/search thru the existing threads &/or read the older threads to see if any questions you might have or that might arise may have already been answered! :lecturef_smilie: After all, there's not
too much about Spyders that
HASN'T already been at least
discussed here; if not already been asked and answered at some time in the 15 plus years the Forum's been around now - Spyders really haven't changed too much in that time, at least not since the change to the 1330 ACE Triple engine back in 2014 anyway, so pretty much apart from local prices & availability, it likely all still applies! :yes:
If you're looking at buying soon, and you want to know all the usual things before you commit, IIRC there are at least a couple of recent threads asking questions about just that on the
