    Hi,
    I have a new LiveID that has been invited to Live Mesh. For some reason that user does not have the ability to invite anyone else. I get the message:

    "0 new users have signed up for Live Mesh with one of your invitations. You can invite 0 more new users."

    Bit strange right? If zero people hae signed up using my invites why have I not got any invites left?

    The Live ID is jamie[at]liveDOTcom

    Jamie,
    Our invite model is generational--each generation of invites has fewer invitations allocated to it.  This means that if your LiveID was invited by someone that was invited by someone else, you likely had no invitations allocated to you.

    Does that make any sense?

    Thanks,
    Richard

    Yes that makes complete sense. And I can confirm that that is what happened here.

    And I thought I was being really sly in creating lots of Live IDs and chaining them all together. You obviously thought of that. Damnit :)
