I can not understand this - 3 new members joined today- but they are waiting on approval from a administrator.
But I do not get any emails about this. ( HELP !! )

Then how do I know a new member has joined ?XF does not send emails for registration approval.
Yes, unless you get an addonThen how do I know a new member has joined ?
I received a message on facebook from a friend that said - she was waiting on approval -
I logged into the forum and saw her account was waiting on approval - so I changed it to Valid.
Is this what one must do ?
e.g. this one is good:Yes, unless you get an addon
Personally, I'd prefer to set it to manual. That little extra effort can help to weed out spammers, or someone banned trying to get back in, or just get a feel for how the account looks before letting them in. No absolute right or wrong on this one.Why do you need to manually approve all registrations?
Mots people set it to email approval.
As I said - the members that are joining- are saying to me, they are waiting on approval.Why do you need to manually approve all registrations?
How often do you access your forum? I access mine every day, so new members don't have to wait for more than a few hours, which is a reasonable expectation.As I said - the members that are joining- are saying to me, they are waiting on approval.
If I do not approve them- they will not be able to participate on the forum
Okay - so when I access my forum and see a new member- and I change the waiting on approval to valid- will this new member get a notice ?How often do you access your forum? I access mine every day, so new members don't have to wait for more than a few hours, which is a reasonable expectation.
Yes they do. You can always test the functionality by registering a test account yourself and seeing what alerts you get with it. You can then just delete the account afterwards if no longer needed.Okay - so when I access my forum and see a new member- and I change the waiting on approval to valid- will this new member get a notice ?
Enable manual approvalAs I said - the members that are joining- are saying to me, they are waiting on approval.

OkayUNCHECK that not check (sorry)
IMO best to set up for post approval as opposed to registration approval.As I said - the members that are joining- are saying to me, they are waiting on approval.
