Why am I "Pending Member"?

[Wail]

Good evening all,

I just joined this forum a few hours ago, I am Wail, from Saudi Arabia and have just joined the Hasselblad community with the H5D-40 and a few lenses. I am a predominantly into landscape and nature photography; and having migrated from Nikon as I just about had it with the Nikon tilt / shift lenses not working on their newest bodies to full specification.

I was just checking my profile and noticed that I don't have privilege to reply to all sub-forums / threads, which I guess is due to the way the membership works; but I am more curious as my profile says I am a "Pending Member"! Pending for what?

Can anyone please shed some light on this for me.

Thank you,

[NickT]

Pending approval by me which I have now done
