    Why is M5board so strict with new members, even if they have an M5?

    Hello all,

    I recently purchased an M5 e60. I registered on M5board with my used to be current car, an e90 328i. But after 2 days i purchased my M5. M5board sent me an activation email, and I activated the account. But guess what I can't post, comment or message the moderator even.

    This site is great too, but I think most of y'all are members on M5board too right?

    I've been a member of audizine for my c6, m3forum for my e46, e90post for my e90, but can't be a member at M5board.

    Does anyone know why this is?

    Thanks
    Anpk05...

    I am on the M5 board also. You should be able to post once activated. But you can not PM until you have reached a 31 post count.
    Make sure you are logged in. You should see your name in the upper right hand corner, says Welcome XXXXXXXXX.. If you are not logged in, then you can not post.
    Go to the FAQ section, there is lot of information in there too.
    If you have issues, I will try to remember to come back here and see if I can help further.
    And welcome my M5 Brother !!!!!

    It takes several days for final approval. By now, I'm sure you have been granted full access.

    Haha, thanks guys. Only when I wash my car I park on the lawn. I have been approved by M5board also. Will post some more decent picks, after getting the car cleaned up. Thanks

    What happened? Did you get approved? When I signed up to that board I was granted access right away. My screen name over there is also DIMM6.

    I'm now having the same problem with StanceWorks. I signed up months ago and I even had my wife sign up to see if she would get privileges as well, but it didn't work. I can log in, but I can't do anything else.

    I seem to be stuck waiting for approval too....

    Do you have to have an M5 to join?

    Edit: Scratch that, got an email saying approved not long after I posted

    I've been waiting a week or two to get posting privileges there too. Maybe it's because I don't own an M yet. It certainly makes it difficult to buy any of the cars listed FS there.

    Oh well. I like it here too.

    I've been waiting 2.5 weeks now for my account to be activated . I'm a member of MANY forums and this is the first time I've had so much trouble participating. I emailed the mods about a week in and got no response. I'm spending an inordinate amount of time there since the middle of May, and it's very frustrating when I see a part I'd like to buy, or a discussion I'd like to join and can't.

    I've already sent several emails over the past few weeks with no reply or activation. I'm at a loss at this point.
