I paid for a membership yesterday...do I wait until I receive my emblem to become an official member, or am I one now?

Thanks!

OB #8541

Thanks!

outta curiosity....how come this part isn't done when ya do the "Activate Overland Bound Member" activation code per the email? It says
You have access to these features once you complete the activation process:
  1. Member Map
  2. Member Forums
  3. Member Calendar of Events
  4. Create your own events!

But....I can't add myself to the member map. I see the member forums section tho...

Hi Chief, and welcome aboard! :)
You should receive an email from Overland Bound HQ with your order information, badge number, and a link to activate your account. Clicking that link will do exactly the same thing I'm doing for people in this thread. If it doesn't work, let me know. Your location is entered properly in your settings, so once your account is activated, you should show up correctly on the Member Map.

@JOSX2 The Member Map updates only once daily, at midnight Pacific time. After that, you should show up on the map. Your location is entered properly, so check after midnight.

@Steve , thank you for that info! I'm guessing the email takes a few days for HQ to get sent out, correct? I ask because I've not yet received it...but am not trying to rush anyone!

Thanks!

Sometimes it is within minutes, sometimes a week or more, depending on Michael and Corrie's adventures. If Corrie is in the office and not otherwise occupied, Bang! You're golden. If they are on a web-long trip, it'll be a while.

@JOSX2 If you have the Member banner below your name on the web version of the forum, your account has been activated (as yours has.) You can't tell if someone is a member (or what their number is if they are) on the mobile app. Hopefully, this is something that @Michael has added to the upcoming redesign.
