Due to massive SPAM attacks lately, new users will not only need to confirm their email addresses like before, but from now on they also need an additional manual approval from the Swyx Forum administrator.
This means that after you register and confirm your email address you will have to wait for that approval. This can take up to a few hours (but defintely not more than 24).
I am sorry for the inconvenience (i.e. delay in registration process), but unfortunately I am currently forced to this addtitional step in new user registrations.
Once the spammers will cool down again, I will get back to fully self service user registration.
