It can take anywhere from several day to several weeks before a new user can get there audio approved. There are so many new users uploading there audio and only so few Audio Moderators who have to vet them which creates a backlog. You will just have to be patient and wait.
However if you have waited for several weeks and still have not been approved or rejected, you can either post in this thread or contact an Audio Mod directly to see what is going on.
I can't upload picture due to transparency error.
If you get this error you will have to remove any transparency you have before you can upload your image. If you have the following programs this is how you can remove it:
* If you are using Photoshop, use the "save for web feature" in the file menu, choose gif and uncheck transparency.
* If you are using GIMP, right-click the layer and click "remove alpha channel" before saving.
* If you are using Fireworks then select "No Transparency" under Optimize.
Alternatively you can use MSPaint by saving the .gif as a jpeg and then reopening the .jpeg to save it as a .gif once again.
