i just got approved for being a member around 5 hours ago and i still cant verify username

verify username? ill send a Mod a message directing them to this.

The "unable to verify username" error means your login information was incorrect, unless it includes a host exception about "Session.minecraft.net", in which case it means that the server couldn't contact minecraft.net to verify usernames. The latter is more common around minecraft releases because minecraft.net is overloaded, in which case all you can do is try again later.
