Is anyone else experiencing sign-up issues? I posted my registration tweet 2 hours ago and haven't been added yet whereas other users were approved within minutes of their sign-up tweet.

EDIT: I've just noticed that all users, at least the ones I've checked, don't have a private account like I do. Could that be the reason why the bot doesn't "see" my tweet?

registered Okay. Glitch perhaps?

As far as I remember, you have to make it public, register, wait until you are followed
by the bot, then you can switch back to private.

"Private" means that nobody can see what you write, including the bot. Right now the bot isn't following
anyone because I'm traveling and only have a cellphone connection.

All right, thanks everybody for your help...I thought it was a problem related to my account being private, but I wanted to be sure it could be solved without having to register a new account just for this challenge.

I've now set my account as public, re-posted my request and will set my account back to private when I receive the confirmation. Let's see if it works...

EDIT: it worked! :D

Hello everyone, I just signed up for Italian! And, this is my first post on HTLAL!

I took a test at Italian-test.com and was somewhat surprised I didn't make A2, even though I've only been studying a few months. Somehow I thought speaking French fluently and having an intermediate level of Spanish would have automatically put me in a high beginner/low intermediate level in Italian. It's strange to be able to listen to an audiobook like Cuore and understand 80%, but not be able to pass into A2 or B1 on the language test. I'd better start studying.. ;)
