 * 1. I have installed and then today (5 Aug), I read that I should reinstall so
   I did. In both cases, I see no errors but when I try to send an invite (signed
   in as an administrator), I get the error:
    “ERROR: Please enter your friend’s
   name.” 2. When (rather than “if”) I get this working, what is the process for
   allowing my USERS to access this plugin? Should I put a link somewhere on the
   sidebar?

 * The sidebar widget is on the way, stay tuned 🙂
 * I havn’t seen anything, like the first bug, but I’ll double check it.

 * I am still having the same problem. I am using WP 2.6.1 but it did the same with
   WP 2.5 & 2.6.0 also. I do have a long list of plugins that I use. I guess that
   something is conflicting.

 * I installed it today. When I clicked on the “Invite Friends” link on the menu
   as an administrator or from the invite friends link in the profile of a subscriber
   it doesn’t do anything.
 * It would be a great plugin if you get it working.

 * I installed it today at vcplan.com. It works as I tested it with another one 
   of my accounts. Thank you for doing this.
 * One problem and one request->
    Problem: # invitations. What exactly is this? 
   I assume its the max number of invitations per user? It will not take the -1 
   setting. It will take other settings like 100.
 * Request: How do I edit the messages that go out? For example, I would like to
   add a brief blurb on what the blog is about. Ideally, this would be in the manage
   plugin screen for this plugin.
 * thanks,
    Steve

 * Its a very useful plugin but its not compatible in wordpress 2.7.1.
    In wp 2.7.1
   the activitation page is not displayed properly. So i changed the plugin code,
   so that it sends the register link instead of the activitaiton link. But the 
   only problem now is , when an invitation is sent, it automatically registers 
   that user without the username in my site. So that after receiving the register
   link, when they try to register , “this email already exists” message is shown.
   So i dont want the plugin to automatically register the user ,just send the invitation
   thats all……Any way to do that??? Thanks in advance!!
