I can't receive a friends invite on 360 and they can't receive mine. Why?

Question

All the settings are set properly and we keep getting a message that says, "Recipient isn't accepting invites." Our invitation settings are on everyone. Why won't the invites go through?

Answer 1

Normally, that message means that the other person's 360 space isn't actually activated or the invitation permission settings are not correct.

However, there is currently a 360 glitch happening that is preventing the invitation feature from working properly for some people. 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.

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. And any message that you receive from Y!360 through the Help Form will likely be an automated one, saying the same thing regarding this transition.
