Even though I had signed in after submitting my application, the website was basically off-limits to me. Everything I tried to look at came back with the same web-page saying that my account was pending review.
Before I signed in, I could "look" at almost everything. But, as soon as I signed in with an account "pending review", I could no longer use any portion of the site.
I do not think that was intended. IF it was, then that should be clearly stated to the new member awaiting review.
