A few days ago I uploaded a tutorial which as yet is waiting authorisation, however its been viewed 40 time so far. Does anyone know what the procedure is and how long authorisation or refusal takes?
Approval for tutorials is given by a moderator or member of Magix staff. And that depends upon the availability of any of these to review and check its content.
The fact yours remains as "Waiting for authorization" simply means that no-one has yet been able to fully verify and approve it.
I have briefly looked at it but wanted to go back and look at it again since I'm not sure that some of the procedures you use are necessarily "the best" and I hope to suggest possible "improvements" or alternatives to you.
In the meantime, I confess I was surprised to see that it is viewable by other users. My belief was that it was only in such a state once "approved".
