As in kitchen appliances? Forgive me, I tried the search, but putting "appliances" as a keyword turns up practically nothing relevant.
Member Appliances should = Member Applications?
Reasons for this misspelling?

lol kitchen appliances. Oops, please forgive me. I will change that. I am not a native speaker as stated above. I will change it to Application. But on a sidenote: is an applicant a correct word?

yes an applicant fills out the application
Don't worry Fawki, English isn't mine either. I can do spelling and grammar awright, but pronunciation is NOT my thing.
Hi Santa again. Hello Hobbit again. And Hello Fawki again. Hello Hypersecret for the first time, I think.
As Hypersecret said above, applicant is a correct term.

What is an appliance?
UFOs?
Goverment?

damn you R0b0t you made me lose!
and it should be titled,
applications; that is what is being filled out
applying; that is what is being done
applicants; people applying
those are the words i would choose from.

ap·pli·ance /əˈplaɪəns/ [uh-plahy-uhns] noun -
3. the act of applying; application.
There was nothing wrong with the way it was used.

I guess people know which way it is when they read it.
But while it may be technically correct I don't think that anybody with English as there first language would say appliance - they would say application.
