  when i invited a wo.com user to my blog, it is asking for unique mail id when he accepted my invitation.
  That person had already created a wp.com id. So why its asking for another email id?
  It can simply add that user to my block without creating a new mail id. right?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi @mlforum, are you adding them from wordpress.com/people ? It should convert their email address to a username for you.

  Hi @supernovia
  Yes.
  The user got error message when clicked the invitation:
  “Choose a different email address. This one is not available.”
  does he need to create another email id for this?
  I thinks its bad. If there there is a user he should be added with same email id.

  @mlforum no worries. If the user already has an account, they should just log in and accept the invitation rather than trying to create a new account.

  Let us know if you need more help.
