Answer 1

There is a glitch going on with invitations right now. Often Yahoo burps up messages and invitations that should have been received long ago. Problems receiving (and sending) invitations and messages have happened before. See http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-4D4zxsg6f... for more details on 360 glitches. BUT make sure you are sending invites to people with Yahoo e-mail addresses, activated 360 spaces, and with people who have their permissions set up to receive invitations from you.

You will have to wait until this issue is "miraculously" solved by Yahoo. You can add people as Favorites instead (i.e. when using the "Add" link on 360 spaces, don't select the "Invite as a Friend" option on the invite), and then utilize what public modules/features they have available (and vice versa). See http://help.yahoo.com/l/ca/yahoo/360/fri... for more information on Favorites.

If you (or friends) did actually receive an invite, but the Accept or Deny buttons are missing, then that qualifies as a glitch too. The invite messages should be left in the Inbox to see if the problem clears up eventually.

NOTE: Yahoo! 360 is transitioning to a new system in the second half of 2008. Click on the "Yahoo!360 News" link in the upper right corner of your 360 space or go to http://blog.360.yahoo.com/product_360 for more details. However, the Y!360 team is no longer addressing 360 glitches.
