This is probably also the right place to draw attention to the ongoing @AoIR election. If you're a current member of the association, please vote.

I‘m trying to update the age in the personal settings of a company‘s #instagram account, which was set to the company’s age. Since it’s not full age, the company can’t place any advertisements. Instagram asked me to verify my age by using a passport or driver’s license. All I received was the notification that my age could not be verified and I should try it again in 3 months. Does anyone have similar experience and/or ideas what to do?

Continued #AoIR2023 thank you post: I am also grateful to all scholars, junior and senior, who were all so generous with their time, knowledge, sightseeing recommendations, and more. And last but not least - it was priceless to be surrounded by @qutdmrc colleagues - the most supportive and fun crew one could ever wish for.
