Problem inviting Facebook friend

Hi!

I have a Facebook friend who would really love to play. My home page is showing I have invites available but it tells me I have no friends waiting for an invite. He's gone back to the sign-up page and verified that he is on the list, but I am still unable to invite him.  

Any suggestions on what might be going wrong here?

  • Nan, send your friend to this page to double-check and make sure the signup is right: glitch.com/fb/

    If it says he's good, try refreshing the invite page one more time: beta.glitch.com/invites/sug...

    And if that doesn't work: we are sorry! There are some aspects of the Facebook connect process which just seem fundamentally mysterious to us. If you open a help tick, we can manually invite him.

  • does it have to do with a privacy setting?  i also can't invite my brother, but his facebook is more private than any of my other friends...  it would be nice if there was in interface actually showing our facebook friends and we could select a checkbox next to their name and send invites to them VIA facebook, so no interaction would be required on their part...

  • How long does it take for a facebook invite to turn into an active account?

    I invited a friend a few days ago (early last week) well before the test, it shows up on my invites page as already sent, and he's received an email saying the process is started. However, he missed the weekend test, no invite...

    Is there an average expectation we can set for our disappointed friends, is it just a 'whenever you feel you want new blood' type thing? Or is it normally pretty snappy and this one has got clogged up in the cogs and wheels etc.?

  • I have a friend who keeps trying to sign up but she is unable to because when she put's her email address in, the page just keeps saying it's searching. Is there anything she can do to fix the problem? or another way I can invite her? I have been telling her to use the signup through Facebook.

  • RealJimBob, re "I invited a friend a few days ago (early last week) well before the test, it shows up on my invites page as already sent, and he's received an email saying the process is started. However, he missed the weekend test, no invite..."

    I think your friend just mis-interpreted the email. We don't send any email saying "the process is started" — we just send them invite. It should be instantaneous when you hit the invite button.

  • Madam Fictiongal, in order to use the current invite system, she should have to sign up using Facebook Connect.
