I'm merely stating what is entirely frustrating to deal with. You do realize people who run campaigns, build a lot of sites or do large projects are set to certain schedules they have to maintain? I don't have time to fire off an email to someone who may or may not respond. I also don't have time to sit and wait up to 24 hours to wait for an approval and link to the webmaster tools while I am in the middle of collecting links, content and ad tools for a site I am building in the next 2 hours, then repeat again for another site I will build 2 hours after that. I also don't have time to go check email, collect content and linsk for a site I no longer need because I found a replacement afterwards. Here's the deal. I understand approvals.. I have NO issues with it, but programs NEED to give us access to webmaster areas to start building right away otherwise they are missing out. People don't just build galleries all day and submit anymore. Marketing techniques are vast and the fact that the more you build the better really holds to a strict schedule. Time is key. Time costs money and nerves. I fully respect that programs have rules they have in place for signup processes but I will not use them if by the time I have access to the tools my site is already built.

most programs list in a text view for galleries exportable html that's not href'ed is useless when there's 1000's to copy and paste (as I I just enabled, right-click open in new tab). Again.. time is money. Going through 1000 galleries that way can take an hour vs 20 minutes when href'ed.

You have people in this thread (including me) telling program owners what we want. Program owners will either listen, or not. However if I have to jump through hoops to use a particular program I will move on to the next program. Time is valuable and when I sign up for many sponsors at a time I will easily forget the one that made me wait and once I get an approval email I will be busy doing something else and most likely won't check the webmaster area.
