Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Got my invite this morning. Will get my email address tonight, when I get home.

Thanks Incognitas! :tu:

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Ron Jeremy there will be one on the way to you in a minute or two.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

:Yikes: :disturbd: :Yikes: Not THE Ron Jeremy?
Surely not - will the inbox be big enough for him? ;)

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

give it another day or two and you will get one more invite I will let you know how many days to your third one...

A far cry from those who had 6 or more in one day.

If you really need a gmail account register on this forum here its gmailforum The thread that links to is opened whenever the admins have invites to give away. Its closed as soon as the invites have been taken.

Around 1am I think they have been opening it its worth watching. but you need to be a member ready for it opening.
Good luck

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Could some kind sole send me an invite please havent got one yet :rolleyes:

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Yea you have.... you kust needed to wait between PM'ing me and getting the invite you cheecky bugger.. :D

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

:( :( :( still got no invites to give out :(

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Me neither. Don't think I use it enough :(

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Interesting - the 'send an invitation' red link has appeared at the top of my inbox - but clicking it has no effect :confused:

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Looks like popup blocking to me...

Re: Get your GMail invites here!

Ian

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

If there is any more going i' be happy to take it off some kind souls hands.

This is for Fitzer as well ;)

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Thanks for the invite theblueraja got it this afternoon :angel: :angel:

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

I'm still waiting for the ability to invite people ... gmail hates me!

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

when do u get the abiltiy to invite ppl, what do u have to do first before you get that?

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Scooby, you still not going to give me one ?? :D :D :D

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Nothing Scooby some have ahd invites and not used their own others have used them and got invites.

Its just those in first got all the invites and those in last are retioned on invites. Give it a week and you should have had one invite.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

:rolleyes:

yeh but we are talking abt email her Debs :naughty: ;)

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

wouldnt mind an invite if anyone has a spare one going .........

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Could people please remind people who they give invites to that they are to come back here and offer invites to other members of this forum in return.

Red reppies otherwise?

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

A red rep for forgetting to invite someone to join an email system? Nice - real nice.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

I think not somehow.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

No your reading it wrong - i think.

The idea behind this thread was that if you give out an G-Mail addy to a forum member in this thread that you should give at least one of your invites back to another forum member who is waiting. Its right there in the very first post.

All im saying is that its very rude to take but not to give, and i dont see what would be wrong with giving a red rep in that circumstance.

Or please tell me why this shouldnt happen if you think im wrong.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Because the rep system is supposed to be for posts you agree/disagree with, and, how will you know if they actually have the ability to invite people? I haven't had the option to yet, what are you going to do? Give me a negative rep just in case? I think you'll lose a lot more rep points than I will should you decide to do that.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

I disagree, i think that in addition to the the agree/disagree with posts option its all about general forum conduct - is somebody was to send me a PM telling me to **** *** i would probably red rep them.

Likewise if by aggreeing to the "terms and conditions" of a thread they decide, well, screw them im just going to hand out the invites to whoever i like i think that is in bad taste and should get a red rep.

BTW - i have G-Mail and have given out invites, i have also not got any problem with people i have invited its just a general point.

After all its right there in the first post.

EDIT: I think to give them a few weeks is more than enough to have returned to the tread to give out an invite, unless they come back and say that they dont have the ability. I would just rather have it that people dont just join up, grab an e-mail addy then fook off and dish them out to all their mates when IMO they owe something back to Cableforums members.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Well - I gave my first invite to my wife - who (at the time) wasn't a member. So I guess that means you better red rep me.

But then I gave my second one to a member on here.

MMMmmm.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Thanks for not clarifying anything ... perhaps you could answer my previous question, how are you going to find out if they've got the ability to invite others? How do you know I've not given out a couple of invites to people not associated with this site?

Also, if you're going to blatantly abuse the rep system, then I'll say this, anyone using Gmail that get's a negative rep from anyone else for not inviting others, let me know, and I'll repay the favour.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Nothing wrong with that - you gave an invite to another member. Whats your point?

Im not sayin ALL your invites should go to other members.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

It was a while between the two - so you would have given me a red rep.

No - but I'm interested to know how you plan to police your plan?

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Which part or give them a few weeks to give out an invite or at least return to this thread to tell us they dont have the ability do you not comprehend?

I dont - but the person who invited you to join from this thread should just keep an eye out to make sure that at least one of your invites makes it back to another member on the list at some point in the future (see response to your first question).

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Jesus people READ...

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

I'd say you should leave it up to Richard, after all not only did he kick this thing off, but he also has a position of authority on the site.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

I can read perfectly well thanks :rolleyes:

Anyway - I'm through going off topic. So I'll say no more on this.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Well as I've only had one invite to give out and did give it out here because of the round robin idea,instead of giving it to my daughter who really wants one too,if anyone hasn't given out at least 1 invite to a CF member who asked you should be heartily ashamed of yourselves.
It's not in the ethos of the site after all.


However I don't think we should red rep for selfishness.Red reps should be for abusive or trollish postings and behaviour like that.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

I do want people to come back and invite at least one person from this thread, that was the whole point of it.
I started this whole thing because I knew what an excellent service Gmail was and wanted to share it around - people should do the same in return.
Having said that, red-repping for not inviting people is not what the system is intended for.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

I agree, I don't think shaming people in to inviting other members is such a bad plan but offering some form of punishment in the form of negative reps is a bit pathetic.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

hehe....so as were back on topic.....anyone have any invites going ???

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

So let me get this straight - you want to humiliate people other than giving them a red rep - which nobody else but them can see?

Its not as if they wont know they have done wrong and as Richard says...

What does a red rep do - it loses them 10 points or something - what does shaming people on the site do - possibly drives them away.

You overestimating the power of the red rep, like its some kind of Start WW3 button.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Are you unable to tell the difference between shame and humiliation?

You've been told it's not what the rep system is meant to be used for, how about you just drop it now?

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Tetchy..

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Not tetchy in the slightest, grow up.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

No - just not bleating on and on about something that's been covered.

I suppose you would have called ME/US tetchy after being accused of not being able to read, if I'd posted a similar response.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

All im doing is having a discussion about how to protect the members of this thread form people stealing invites then dissapearing, and you two seem determined to have a go at me for it.

Now you two seem to be getting really annoyed because i have a differing opinion than you.

Well, life a bitch lads aint it. :D

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

OK, back on topic please.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Could some one invite me into gmail please? :(

I don't like using hotmail any more, too much spam and anoying people flooding me with 80 emails :(

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

:rolleyes:

Cut and paste the 'list' and then add your name in black to the bottom of the black list(those who want an invite)When you get an invite redo the list and place your name in red at the bottom of the red list.

Incog.

Could some one also invite me into gmail please i need a second e-mail
for work stuff :)

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Please read post #348 and comply with the instructions. :disturbd:


Incog.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Absolutely correct, Richard, Thanks! Must be this SP2 that Russ made me download doing it :erm: I will have to work out how to sort it out.

Anyway, now I have had time, I can access the invite via a pop-up using my old W98 machine - Gmail have given me 1 invite (despite zero traffic), so if MetaWraith wants to PM me with first/last name/email addy I will pass this on.

NO RED REPS FOR ME then please ;)

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

I had to install firefox to get at mine :(

Never have pop up trouble else where and I've not even got SP2 installed :( :(

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Very strange - further to Richard's suggestion I checked my NAV settings and disabled pop-up screening, still no joy, so assumed it was SP2 as this and Gmail are the only things I have added recently.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

PM Sent :-) and thanks

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Invite now Sent - YVW :)

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

I was suprised to see this thread had developed a row over invites.

I have helped many on here get invites even though my invite came from somewhere else.

It should be personal choice I didn't make a fuss when WNA didn't want to allow me to invite him as that was his choice to wait longer for a invite from certain members.

Chill guys most will get an invite and if some register on the gmail forums everyday they open a thread to give out a few invites to the first to reply the link is in this post

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Account all setup, and Nikko, you're the recipient of my first gmail message.

I've updated the list. Now to go send a few messages and hope I get some invites in the coming weeks.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

I promise when and if I get an invite to pass on, I will. :)

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

would anyone mind if the list was now culled to the above? - there doesn't seem too much point in having so many red entries, especially when most gmailers now have a sig graphic?

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

don't see why not ;)

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Me neither,

Now I have a backup for my spymac account. :)

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Not had any invites to share sorry.

But I had my GMail account off a friend just before I was given one from here. So I sent a reply back & he could re-use my invite ;)

If & When I get one I will pass it on....

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

The ability to invite does not appear to be happening for me.
Despite setting forwarding from all my other accounts to my Gmail one to make it have more mail coming through.
Funnily enough, it does not appear to be getting all the spam that I get in my old NTL accounts yet.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Nor me. When I get an invite though I intend to give it out it in this thread.

For now, those how have Gmail accounts might like the ability to use their prefered POP3 mail program with Gmail. http://jaybe.org/info.htm

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

I think invites have been stopped apart from the admins on gmailforums. I posted teh link earlier in this thread telling member to go and join and check it each day. they open the thread when they are giving out invites and then close it when they have all gone. Just join first ready for it opening.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Ah well, i'm not desperatly looking for one, just wanted to see what they were like witha view to changing. Actually, since Yahoo increased their limit been quite happy with that. will still keep my eyes open anyway.

Cheers Kits

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Is there a way to get GMAIL act like Yahoo Mail? (NOT grouping all Messages into conversations?)

Cheers

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Iv'e also heard that Hotmail are increasing there space limits aswell. But I don't want to put up with hotmail any more, is there any other free email services that are good? Beside yahoo though, never really liked yahoo.

EDIT: Since when have Lycos had an email service?

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

I think I might go with BlueBottle.com until GMail is up, they offer 50mb space with 100% spam blocking for free :D

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Does any1 have a spare invite I could have please ?

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

I've not had an invite in ages - I guess they've slowed down again.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Me never had one at all:bigcry:

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

There there - we'll sort you out ;):)

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

My girlfriend would like an invite, please can you put her on the list using my username?
Thanks.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Since it seems I was the last to be lucky enough to get an invite via this thread i'm just reposting the list for ease of access. I've passed a load of email, both incoming and outgoing through my gmail account, but not had any invites to give away yet. Hopefully will get some when the next tranche is released.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

So why not get your girlfriend to join us? ;)

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Do people still fall for those kind of tricks?

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Well, I can set up an account for her, but I thought that would be cheekier than just asking for her from me! :D

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

I think the whole point is for invites to go to active members of the forum.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Well I thought she might actually like our company? ;)

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Anybody got an invite going spare for lil old me :rolleyes:

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

I know there is popular demand but I wouldn't mind one!

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

If you read the gmail forums you will notice that its only admin staff on there with invites.

Apparently Invites stop on the 12th July so looks like things are about to change.

Go and look perhaps join like I said and see if you can be lucky to get an invite.

I have only ever had two and both was used for members here others came from friends.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Wow.... if G-mail is going to be as popular as people predict then google will be giving thousands of terabits of storage away... can't be cheap.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Ive had gmail since 24th june, and i havent had any invites to hand out.
Im starting to think that maybe Gmail will be launched on July 12th, if the date Kits said is significant

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

It's the 13th today...

Do you mean July 12th next year?

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

no i was just reading what Kits said.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

time has no place on these forums.........

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

1GB FREE email at http://mail.rediff.com/learnmore.htm also

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Scary isn't it? :Yikes:


Seems that Google have started a trend.Good for them!! :clap:

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

I said apparently invites stop on july 12th then added things must be about to change. That only meant the invites was stopping then they would perhaps give a date for it to go public.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Well there are some new features in Gmail today so maybe that's what they meant.


Incog. :)

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

new features?!?! :confused: i can't see any :cry: what are they Incog?

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Import contacts, Have a sig, and better support for safari ;) there ya go. More details on the site

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Look at the top of your inbox.There in red it says NEW FEATURES

Re: Get your GMail invites here!

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
