Does anyone on here have an account on Audi World? I really need to pose a few technical questions on thier 12v V6 forum (very popular in the US) but I've been waiting for 4 days to have my account approved..

Is this normal?

Got one straight away without problem, I got an email with an activation number and was able to post straight away. I would try again....

all I get is

"Your account has been activated but you are currently in the moderation queue to be added to the forum"

I created a new login using the only other email address that I have, followed all the procedures carefully and when try to post using that login I get:

"Your account has been activated but you are currently in the moderation queue to be added to the forum"

Don't suppose you fancy PMing the Admins on my behalf do you?

I've given up. Either there's something wrong or they're useless.

I've now created two seperate accounts. From different PC's, with different email address's and different user names.

I've followed thier procedures to the letter to activate the account.

I've contacted them multiple times.

The personal email address's for the admins bounce as unknown.

MartC has contacted them on my behalf, to no avail.

I've added an admin on MSN, but have been ignored.

I've used the 'contact us' tab on the home page, and used each method given.

I should point out I don't work for BP either.

I agree about the 12v info but the site these days is a shadow of its former usefullnes, a shame, as it was brilliant in the late 1990s early 2000s.
Had a huge revamp , migrated to another system /provider etc ( think that's what happened) a couple of years ago. They kept the 'official' how tos etc BUT all the old posts went, along with the posted info all the pictures went as well.
There was much agro, all round,think a number of regulars may have been banned and many went to the newly formed quattroworld.com -- I recognise the various names.

Is there a reasonable knowledge base for the 12v on that quattro forum then? Is it worth me posting on there?

I posted my question on QuattroWorld, lets see if I have any more success..
