A friend signed up Friday May 26th and is still waiting.  Is this normal?

Very Nice Looking Photo!

Thank you for continual improvements.

Hoping I have your attention, at least briefly, I would like to once again request that you keep a promise made before HF17 and HF18 to make posts editable. Instead of doing that, posts are now un-editable after only 7 days!

Please, for further detail, see [**here**](https://steemit.com/steemit/@creatr/i-m-still-jonesing-for-that-edit-button-please) and [**here**](https://steemit.com/steemit/@creatr/til-now-i-m-really-frustrated-with-the-steemit-user-interface), as well as [**here**](https://github.com/steemit/condenser/issues/1373).

Thank you very much for your consideration and all the hard work that you all put into this platform!

😄😇😄

Really appreciate the effort. Proud to be a member of this community. :)

How about adding a process on the website that allows us to sign up a friend, fronting the Steem required so Steemit doesn't need to do any verification?

I have been trying to create an account for my girlfriend and I keep getting the 

"This phone number has already been used"

message when we know this isn't true. When we try again with another number it says the email has been used before. 

We have been clicking all the required links in the email and sending the correct SMS codes, but still no dice.

I can't be the only one with these problems. Is anybody else experiencing this?

I am having trouble creating my dtube account, when I click to create a new account on dtube it takes me to create a steemit account, since I already have it I sign in,  BUT by being sign in, am asked to sign out to continue with the account creation. Any buddy can help with this???

WOW!  You're JUST NOW figuring this out?
The fact that you've allowed a years worth of fraud on your platform,
makes for a pretty ridiculous set of circumstances.

Perhaps you guys should have spent a little more time on creating a decent identity layer instead of letting tens of thousands of Identity Bot Swarms Fuck up the platform for the rest of us.

Thanks again Steemit Team...  please don't start ANY MORE businesses or Blockchains.  Let the good folks here learn the lessons of your extreme mismanagement of the platform.

This is good news, recommended a friend to sign up and when access wouldn't granted he went on bantering about a fault in the platform.  Thanks for the update, will forward this to him.

Hi, Steemit Team, I have a suggestion for you, I dont know is it the right way for it but I upload it to utopian. [Linked here](https://utopian.io/utopian-io/@gcamkerten/add-features-for-saving-post-for-advisory-or-take-notes) 
I'm newbie too and its hard for me to adapt the community or components at steem so many readings and I have to check them again and again. I want a button for saving this posts. And I think It feature could be use for local moderators pick advisory post for newbies. And this feature help users to really use / consult other users post. Sorry for disturbing <3

Hi @steemitblog. 

I've just helped a friend signup, went though the entire process, no problem, she received the confirmation text message, which we confirmed, then when she goes to login (with the supplied password) it says 
**"Username does not exist"**. 

We've waited a few minutes and tried a few times, each time the same error message. There are no errors in the console, just (after the "warning" log) it has these two lines (in the console)
- _-- serverApiRecordEvent --> SignIn Login 5000_
- _Login	dispatchSubmit_

Looking forward to longer term solutions... I am sure we will find one to scale big

I helped my brother sign up 2 days ago, he is anxious to join, but still waiting on the account to be created (ryanrizz). 

I understand the above, but Steemit will not grow significantly until signups are instant, I hope it is very soon. If there is any big news, Steemit will miss the potential momentum.

PLEASE HELP

Thanks for communicating this one small step.

How long is the wait time currently?

Let's keep making this place better and better and better!
