Sending Invitations To Join/ Invitations May Be Down For a Month Or So - Page 13

RandomGlitter · 28-11-2009

Unfortunately the 'Pending' message is not hyperlinked

Hmmmm....

**BetteT** · 28-11-2009

I just created a Pending invitation ... and I see what you mean ... no longer any way to delete it. It's been changed ... it used to also list the names of everyone in pending, too and now that's gone.

So, just try and send another invitation and see if that works.

RandomGlitter · 29-11-2009

Will do, thanks!

RandomGlitter · 03-12-2009

Hi, me again!

So, I've done as you suggested, and even sent it to a different email address... it's not been delivered, and also says "pending". Can this be looked into further as I've taken all necessary steps to ensure successful transmission, thus it must be another issue...?

**BetteT** · 03-12-2009

Was the email hotmail, yahoo mail, gmail or comcast? Those all seem to block us.

Did that person add us to their "safe sender" list, before you sent the new invitation? If she/she didn't do this, the invitation was probably blocked (doesn't even get into their spam folder).

RandomGlitter · 04-12-2009

The email address was a Hotmail address... however the ones you list are servers most of us use-- and it's where I received my invite. Are you saying it's hit and miss?

Yes, she added @thefashionspot to her safe list, and everything else was done correctly. Is there any way we can rectify this?

**BetteT** · 04-12-2009

It might be hit and miss, I don't know. But, we constantly get reports about this issue and it's often hotmail. So we tell them to add us and we don't hear back from them, so I'm assuming they got it to work. So I can't really explain your issue.

First, make sure it's not in her spam folder. Then, ask her to add it this way .... and try again: support@thefashionspot.com Remember to type all the info in ... do not cut and paste.

Let me know if that works.

If all else fails, maybe find another friend who is a member here and see if they would be willing to invite her. If that doesn't work ... then the problem is at her end ... not your account. In fact, if it worked for your 2 other friends, I'd venture to guess that is really is at her end.

So, ... maybe she can sign up for another free email account to use here that is not hotmail ... like yahoo, gmail, etc., add us ... then use that to invite her.

RandomGlitter · 05-12-2009

Thanks alot... you've given me a few good routes to take!

I'll let you know what happens!

VogueParisLover · 07-12-2009

I have a question... I can't invite one of my friends because I can't seem to find the Invite button on my User CP... Why don't I have it?

Here's your answer in a nutshell:

I don't know your situation .... but if you have had numerous deleted posts, reminders etc. ... they system may have removed your invitation privileges. It sort of works on a point system ... violations accumulate points based on the severity and number of issues ... so that at a certain point the invitation link disappears.

Also, for certain violations it's removed right away. For, example, if you have invited a "bad" member(a troll or a spammer, for example), you would loose your privileges ... but you say you have never invited anyone yet ... so that won't be the issue. If you open duplicate accounts ... it's removed to prevent you from inviting yourself again.

If you have not had deleted posts, reminders or warnings at all ... then it should be there. If not, use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page and tech support can look into it for you.

Is there a limit?

Whenever i send an invitation to anybody, it says "INVITATION SENT!" but doesn't actually turn up in the person's inbox

It only worked once and I'm really wondering what is wrong

This is probably what is happening.

I'd like to invite a friend, but I can't seem to find the 'issue an invitation' button - just wondering if TFS isn't accepting anyone new at the moment, or if it's me who just doesn't have the privileges? Thanks in advance!

**BetteT** · 19-01-2010

It's temporary ... because we had to turn of numerous funtions this week, including new registrations ... due to the tech issue we are experiencing (overloading). For updates, see the pinned thread at the top of the forum .... "tFS is Not Working Properly for Me" .
