How can I know that my profile is approved?

Hello,

 

  1. I would like to know if my profile has been aprroved....?
  2. Can you not have a status marker in the profile information so new users know whether or not they have been approved?

Thx,

Melissa

Hi Joana, 


I checked your profile and can see that there seems to be a recurring issue in the Employment and Education section of your profile. Could you please edit out these errors in your profile and let me know if the issue persists?

I'm getting "Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again or contact support." when submitting a new account and "Error: Submit failed" in the developer console. Any ideas as to how I can remedy this?

Hey Bojan, it says I've completed all of my profile and I'm still getting an error after clearing all of my browser data/cache. Here is a screenshot of it prompting me to submit my profile.

Hi,

 

How can I check that my profile was approved ?

I haven't received any confirmation email that my account has been approved. But I see that I am able to submit proposals. So does that mean that my profile has been approved?

 

Thanks a lot.
