i registered several weeks ago and i did the email verification thing however i still says I'm waiting for verification and have been unable to bookmark topics or view pictures in post.

what do i need to do to fix this.

 

your account is created, however your account is limited while it is in 'moderation' until you make some posts (like this one, for instance) that a moderator can approve. the administrators check for new accounts that have approved posts and will then change them to a regular member status. just one of the measures taken to ensure our viewers can enjoy a spam-free board.

 

but where did it say that in the registration page or the page that kept poping up?

 

It doesn't say that in the registration ... it's just how we do it here. You should be good to go very shortly
