A. The processing records are Members that paid, but never filled out the form to create their account.
The process is, they pay first, and then afterwards go to the join page to create their account.
When they pay, the processing record is created, and then when they fill out the form, it is populated with their information.
If they pay, but never fill out the form, then they will show up as processing until they create their account.
With these records, you should send them to the join page to finish creating their account.
Don't try to edit the processing records yourself by putting in their information
(the processing account is missing several things and needs to go through the join process),
instead, fill out the form on the join page using the same email that shows for processing.

A. A username of TEMP987 means the
person didn't complete the setup process and needs to finish creating the account (and then it will change from TEMP987).
If you manually modify the TEMP987 record while logged in as the admin to something else,
then the Member account that was TEMP987 is not completely setup and doesn't have it's primary capture page loaded and other minor issues like not having a signature loaded.

A. Cookie tracking sets it up so that if an contact visits the home page OR enters a bad username OR visits the admin's page, that it will check if a cookie exists from them visiting an member site in the past. If the cookie exists (meaning they've previously seen an member page), then it will redirect them to the member primary capture page.
If you turn off cookie tracking then this will not occur.
A. Create a link to your join (create account page) and have the username in the page.
So, for example, if putting it into the WYSIWYG editor you would use this URL:
~wmtsystemurl~/join/~username~### With direct payment, members first join then afterwards are taken to a page to make payment.
