Why don't people get my friend invites on Yahoo! 360?

Question

I invite people to be my friend, but my friend list is empty because they never get the invite (I know this because I ask if they've gotten it).

OK, so maybe I'm a little new to 360, but where would I find an invite, and why are my invites never delivered?

Answer 1

Invites are not working on Yahoo! 360 for some people. Invitations arrive in 360 mailboxes.

NOTE: The person that you send an invitation to must receive it at a Yahoo address, have a 360 space activated, and have their permissions set up to allow invitations to come from you.

This is likely a 360 glitch, since recently people have asked similar questions in this category. 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 do 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.

NOTE2: 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.

Answer 2

It most likely has to do with glitches that Yahoo is experiencing, from what I have read. I have the same problem. I hope Yahoo fixes all of the glitches.

Answer 3

If you know their email address, go to add a friend, click it,

put their address down and ask them to try it.
