Affiliate registering do not show up in Manage Affiliates

Hello – I have installed and activated Affiliates Pro as well as generated an “Affiliate Area” My settings are set to pending approval>
When a new affiliate registers on the affiliate link page that was generate they receive an email acknowledging the sign up and identifies that it is pending approval.
When I go to my site dashboard – the new affiliate is not showing up in the “Manage Affilites” that I can approve them>
They are showing up as a regular User on my sight as a subscriber.
I have an affiliate category and if I manually assign them as an Affiliate they do still not show up in the affiliates Pro area.
The new potential affiliate when they receive the link to login after they registered and they sign in they go to my standard customer, subscriber user page.
Help help – How do I repair that my affiliates will in fact go to an affiliates page to view their activity etc. and not show up as a regular User with no affiliate info???

Thanks and regards
Leon
