If you try to login too quickly after registration, you may receive an error or a message that your account is "blocked," or "not yet approved," or something to that effect. This is normal.
The most common reason you can't login to your new account after several days have passed is that you didn't read the guidelines and provide the correct registration keyword during registration. To fix, keep reading.
All new accounts require approval by the admins. This can take up to 48 hours, because sometimes we're just nowhere near an Internet connection. If your account was registered with the correct registration keyword, and you clicked the link in your activation email, you'll get an email alerting you that your account is now active once an admin reviews your new account.
If you didn't enter the correct registration keyword, we will not respond to let you know, as we just can't do this because of the number of spammers. If you haven't heard from us in 1 week:
- Read the Pre-registration Orientation Guide thoroughly to make sure you have the registration keyword, then
- Email us at 7700[at]backcountrypilot.org with your username and the correct registration keyword. We'll activate you manually as soon as we can.
We've also seen cases where users have not completely finished the registration process. Subsequent attempts to start over result in a message that your email address is already in use. If this is the case, email us at the above address and we'll wipe out the registration in limbo so you can start over. Sorry for the inconvenience.
