About how long does it take to register a new member?

[WingsOfMasquerade]

A quick question on behalf of someone who I met who would love to join here:
About how long does it take to become registered as a new member? She'd tried years ago, (like 3+ maybe) but I think it never worked out then due to some technical difficulties or something. She has tried to sign up again (This week, I think Mon. maybe) and it's supposed to send you an email to finish registration? But it's been since probably Monday and nothing happened so she worries it's the same way again and unable to join.

I honestly registered so long ago that I have totally forgotten the process and how it worked/how long it took.
Thanks for any help with this,

[Loa]

I usually clear it every 2-3 days.

Thank you for the fast response!
This is the step that is stuck on:

"I received this from MLPArena: "Your account has been activated manually by the admin and you can now login and post."
I forgot my password so they sent me a link-which I clicked on- to put in a new password.
I typed in my new chosen password in both spaces.
I clicked "Save"
I received this: Error has occured! Invalid Activation Code.
I didn't receive an Activation Code. What Activation Code?"

I didnt know what to tell her to do because I signed up so long ago I forgot if there even was an activation code at all.

Oh dear, this is two different things. I've greenlit the account but they have then forgotten the sign in and are requesting a enw one which has confused it.
Please get them to email [email protected] for me to manually rest. Thanks!
