Re: Stuck invitation

Greetings Baz,

From time-to-time, it will show invitations when they are none. It should just clear up on
its own in time.

Saying other people have the same problem is not a solution. How about a fix
for this? I get the same yellow bar "you have 1 invitation" every time I
sign in. When I click on the "X" to get rid of it, it will come back when I
restore the list view. Please provide an actual fix because it "doesn't just
go away."

Greetings Shawn,

The problem is server side, so, I'm not really sure how one is supposed to provide a fix?

If the problem is "server side" then it's MICROSOFT's problem and THEY should
fix it. This is so typical of ripoffsoft. LOUSY customer service.

Well yes, it should be fixed - but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be a priority.

This seems to be a on going problem and has started happening on my WLM as of
20-05-2010 showing 5 invitations when there are none and i have tried
everything to clear it. When is this going to be sorted as it is a major
annoyance to many users.

Hi Frank,

It's been a problem for over a year to be fair. I think all concentration is on the 2010
release at the moment, which hopefully has it fixed.
