I have been approved on my application in the yellow box in the corner of my screen. Is this the same as being a member now because i cannot build or talk.

if you just got accepted, give it some time, the mods will get to adding you on the member list. They have lives as well. lol, just be patient.

not right, madster. The automatic adding plug seems to be crashed for a long time now. you are on a waiter list. a lot of people are applicating on minetown at the moment. only wait a few days, yo uwill see in your status bar if you got accepted <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f609.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=";)">;)</object>

I think you're missing the point...He's been accepted.

A mod simply needs to add him in-game, when they're free.

(as far as I'm aware)
