I¡¯m just sticking my oar in here because my similar problems remain unresolved....
Applicants were not receiving my set email in response to a request to join.
those people are called members on one of the pages
applicants were getting a daily summary sent to them before being approved.
recently, someone that did not get my automated email, has suddenly become a member subsequent to me sending them an email manually!
i have to admit to finding the system really frustrating, possibly due to my own lack of time to figure out what¡¯s happening exactly....
