  Can you let me know the URL of the blog that you were invited to?

  Is this your blog or did someone invite you to contribute?

  We fixed an issue related to this two days ago. When was the last time you re-sent an invitation?

  I am also having problems. The invitation for the Author role shows up as Accepted, but the user is not in the user list and cannot submit content.

  It looks like all accepted Authors are displaying in your Users page.

  What were the first 4 letters of the email address belonging to the user with the problem?

  I re-sent the invite to the earthlink email, and I am waiting for her to respond.

  Some of the other users may simply be confused, and I am trying to understand why.

  1. Some of them see the invite and go to the site without activation (bypassing the invite action).

  2. Some of them have email with images turned off, or not set to HTML. I am going to set up a fake user for myself and try to see what they are seeing (or not seeing).
