Can someone please approve my request please?

Thanks

Because there's only a few people that can, and surprisingly enough people who are volunteers don't spend all their waking hours here since by definition they're doing it in their spare time.

I don't really understand why its a private board anyway.

... the support i have received on here has been pretty good so far... just a bit at a loss to as why it takes days to get approval.  :-\

Need support for the Sphinx search engine  :)

It's a private board because if it weren't, there would be a lot more people asking for support for things they can't possibly use, nor is it any relevance to them anyway.

Possibly because it's mentioned only in a weekly, not daily, digest? I'm not very familiar with unapproved posts.

It's not done with that at all, it's done with the group membership system. I don't even know off hand if that sends out emails...

Dunce hat, please?

I didn't realise this was a group in question.

Me neither.... its not something we implement on our own forum.

Yup, big board access is handled through requesting the big board membership in profiles.

I don't use it either so I have no practical experience of it and I don't remember the code there well enough to remember its actual behaviour (even though I part-rewrote it in 2.1)

there is an email in the templates for it, but i have seen multiple people report they have not received such email.
