Is there a timeframe for this? It's been a few days (and 8 days since my
initial post under this "Msdn-Managed" ID).

Are you saying that this ID that I'm posting under right now ... doesn't
show up as someone with a Universal account? Currently I'm at the web
interface. I'm signed in. Next to the Sign In/Sign Out button is another
smaller button that you can edit a profile. I looked there and didn't see
anything that I could "check" or fill in that I didn't already.

This is the ID that we have associated with our Univeral account. So, I'm
confused. If it's not showing up as valid - can we take care of the issue so
that it does show up as valid? Because I'm not sure what else I can do here
- and It's been weeks since my initial post.

Thanks,
William Campbell
