I'm having trouble with friend invites on Y! 360?

Question

I have a friend of mine who sent me a request a couple of times but I never recieved it, and whenever I send a request, they never seem to get it...is there anything wrong with my 360 or my settings?

-thanks in advance.

Could be something wrong with their permissions. It depends. It could also be just a 360 glitch, that you'll both have to wait out. For some people, invitations arrive more slowly than others.

The person needs to go to their 360 mailbox and ACCEPT the invitation so that they show up in your contact list, friends list, and friends module.

Both of you should click your "Edit Contact Settings" link under your personal profile picture on the "My Page." Make sure the invitation section is set to "Everyone in 360" for now. If you are age 18 and under, you may be only able to select "Friends of Friends".

If you find that your invitation isn't working, it could be for the following reasons:

1) If a person's Yahoo! 360 page is not activated, you will not be able invite them. It will say that they are not accepting invitations at this time. Everyone has 360 attached to their Yahoo account,  but it stays dormant until it is activated (i.e. used for the first time). If the invite is sent to an address other than a Yahoo-related one, then it won't work.

2) If they have an activated 360 page, but their Communications Settings are set to "Friends of Friends" instead of "Everyone 360" in terms of invitations - and you are not a "Friends of Friends" (meaning a friend of one of their friends) - then your invitation will not be received.

3) They denied the invitation.

4) You are on the person's "ignore" list, thus communications from you are not received. See http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/fri... for more information.

5) People are having problems with their mailboxes that could prevent the sending and receiving of messages EXCEPT during certain times of the day.

However, if the invite shows that it was sent in your "Sent" folder and if you are certain that you are not blocked by that person at all (based on the above statements), then you are probably experiencing a 360 glitch. In the end, you'll likely have to wait the 14 days for the invitation to expire (if it was received) or just wait for it to arrive in the first place.

In the meantime, you can add each other as a "Favorite". Click the "Add" link under their personal profile picture and don't check the "Invite As a Friend" box before sending the invitation. See http://help.yahoo.com/l/ca/yahoo/360/fri... for more information about Favorites.

The reason you are having so many problems with your 360 account is ..

We are losing our Yahoo 360 accounts very soon according to the Yahoo product blog you can access by going to this link:

http://blog.360.yahoo.com/product_360

There are many problems that will not be fixed by Yahoo on the 360, and they are getting worse each passing day.

I urge you to go to the product blog and read the information for the last three postings by yahoo about all of the changes that are coming to us soon.
