    Thanks for the info. on the waiting period. I will try to be more interactive. I didn't realize I was being too quiet! It's my nature to listen more than talk.

    Is there a waiting period for registration

    Why can't I see my own profile or anyone elses? I also can't see any pictures that anyoneposts. I get a box that says I don't have permission to view those things. Am I doing something wrong. I am confused as to how it works.
