*******@spymac.net

edited: many thanks prathapml

R de auctions on ebay still going on? I got an invite from prathapml and I enjoy using gmail, esp the conversation thread feature.

@SiMoNsAyS
Look into the email address you gave above - enjoy the gmail invitation.
(and edit that post of yours to remove the email address - to prevent spamming)
EDIT:
Your mailbox bounces the email - sent the same again thru PM.



@tiredoflogins
I suppose the auctions still are going, although not nearly at as high rates as Astalavista said.
I'd say auction as many invites as you want, but try to give invites away freely here as well.

Just checked ebay. The gmail invites are being sold for somewhere around 6 cents to 3 dollars.

is there a limit to send invitations per member?
if not invitation thing is useless???
anyways do they have a trial sign up or something I just want to see what it looks like

Each account on Gmail gets about 1 or (some more) invites a random time after registering (maybe a few hours/days/months before you get invites to give others). People are still trying to find out on what basis you get invites - is it on usage/activity/random/what????????
There is no trial or something of the sort (I think). You're either signed-up or you are not, that's all, LOL.


@XtremeMaC
if you do want to sign-up to Gmail, PM me your current e-mail address to which you need the invitation sent.

prathapml

you seem to hv a lot of gmail invites. do u work for google?

No, I don't work for/in google.


@XtremeMaC
Invitation sent. Do let us know what it looks like and what you think of it, :wink:

Thanks I've recieved it, will let u know

edit: wow 1st thing I realize is that its pretty fast

alright guys. I got 6 invites for gmail. ANy 6 members can get these invites by simply PM'ing me there name and email addy. The email addy is where i will post the invite.
Only the first 6 to pm will get them. So sorry if you dont get one.
I didnt want to create a new thread about gmail so i using this one prathapml, is that ok?

EDIT: i popping away from the PC for an hour or so, so people you can still pm me but i will send the invites as soon as i get back on.
Still the 6 invites remain

I'm happy that you joined up in the party as well, wasim.



BTW, I'd still recommend you to follow the same policy - let whoever wants an invite post his request here, and then PM you. Then you post in the thread that "user_name"s invitation has been sent. That way, we can ensure that people don't PM ten of us for invites and get all of them - if ppl PM 10 of us and get as many invites, they are depriving 9 others of the same. So please do not make it a PM-only request policy.

Drewdatrip= Posts: 2646 so i guess they will have to be over that amount

@famer what?

XtremeMaC thats why i said that cause he said he's giving them to members with decent post counts

yeah no probs mate. i haev 5 invites left and if anyone wants one mention it in this post

edit

ha! So more people join into the party...
Welcome Bi0haZarD - its nice that you're onboard now as well (in introducing those who haven't got it yet to Gmail).


Funniest thing being - there are now more people (and invites) in this thread _offering_ invitations than asking, LOL. So I guess MSFN has got saturated enough with 'Gmail'ers, huh?
No more people want this?

Got 6 Invites to offer.......... Again.......

But As I Read.. I would seem almost everybody on MSFN already got a Gmail account by now...

But.... as i said before....... 6 invites......
Who wants them?

(sorry for my bad english.. hope it doesn`t scare you off )

I've got three left PM if you need one

bonedaddy

^^^^^ The posts above ^^^^^^^^

Ha ha ha ha......
See what I mean? (all the invites just going stale, no takers)

i friend of mine was given an invitation, 3 days ago he registered his account and now he has 6 invites

this invitation thing is totally stupid, but fun
a nice way for google to track things..

hahahahaha i agree
the invitations thing seems to be stupid but apart from the google control, i think it's the best way to attract the attention of user like "hey i've got invitations to share" or "one invitation please!!".
good marketing the one from google

Hey, I'll jump on the bandwagon...now the contest is who can offload one of their invites to me FIRST!

You guys are awesome...

@Phyridean
Take a look at your hotmail inbox - a shiny new invite is sitting there! (atleast.... it is supposed to be, do tell me if it isn't)

Kudos to Prapthaml!

Edit: <Sigh> stupid Hotmail filtered Prathapml

what happens if 1 gets lots of invitations? does google have a counter or a way of promoting the user who sends out lots of invitations and acceptance? that'd be even more fun

oh - that doesn't normally happen. Not too many invitations are "give"able from one account. And they don't have any rewarding scheme. But as fast as you give out the invites you get, you'll catch more the next time they re-fill your tank!
(I hope my sleepiness isn't affecting the understandability of the above words )

What really is fun (in my view) in this deal, is the happiness of having made others happy (through giving them invites).

And Prathapml comes through twice in the same day for me...more kudos. I now have my account, and when I figure out how, I'll send invites to people who request them here.

this will nake msfn the hot spot now

@ drew i hear that, dont want to give them to people who wont be here long or just grab and go.

By decent post count i ment a active member....
I am trying to award long time members aswell as feaquesnt posters....i think there should be alttile payout for offering your time and experties to the community.
Thats all i ment by it


BTW i still have several to give away

|Drew|

gmail doesn't support opera
but I just loved the conversation ability. the inline messages, quote stuff omg!!! really superb

Well, I didn't know there were more opera fans as well here. Good to see!
You can get a link to download opera 7.60 preview 1 (pre-release, so lots of bugs) from this thread - http://my.opera.com/forums/showthread.php?...80&pagenumber=1

This version supports Gmail, voice commands, etc.

off topic you dont know if they release firefox pr1

and i guess theres no more people needing Gmail

i doubt both things

hhaha

you could be right

@SiMoNsAyS It's cool thanks for the info did not know they was that far along

@prathapml ow well thanks will check out. i'm on 7.54 yet

@Famer sorry, 1 of the points was correct
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/roadmap.html

I have 6 invites ... PM me your email address if u want one

Saw something interesting today when I logged into Gmail:

A new color-theme has been used, the position of the "Use invites" box has moved to top. And the ads now appear at the bottom (instead of at the side, the way they used to). Is this only me? Or everyone on Gmail noticed this?

Also, the problems that opera browser had with the gmail sign-in process has been fixed - no workarounds needed anymore. Just use Opera 7.60, and log-in. BAM!!! Everything works perfectly the way it does on IE/firefox/Safari.

Moreover, is this an indication that they are now ready to declare Gmail out of beta? If so, they might now go public, and directly offer the option to sign-up/register to everybody. That means that all the invites you might have hoarded, and the Gmail accounts you hoped to sell, are now ir-relevant. The funny business which sprang up around the Gmail affair would be ended. Gmail simply becomes a free-for-all like any other free E-mail provider.

So please be more liberal with the invites you get, and give it to anyone who isn't already on Gmail - that will make that person happy (and maybe fetch you another friend) and you get the satisfaction too, of not having let your invites go waste.

Thanks for the account prathapml. Sorry I couldn't (read: forget to) reply earlier.

@nolookingca
You're welcome. Enjoy it.


In other news..... (continuation of my post above)
Hey, I'm noticing more differences in how the Inbox displays mails as well.... (very slight, though).
And one irritating thing:
Since only Opera 7.60 (among all its predecessors) can login to Gmail, I use that reluctantly. And v7.60 has a bug that the "close tab" button crashes the entire browser sometimes. So I'm **** forced to use "Ctrl+F4" to close tabs - very irritating indeed!

NOTE: Unless you're prathapml or an Opera user, this whole post can be skipped. If you are, then skip the meaningless sentences above "@prathapml"

----------------------------------
and BTW, for the record (or for homorous purposes ), here's a (bad) reason to explain why I need a gmail account - I rarely check my email, but subscribes to who-knows-how-many newsletters.

And this one really for the record: I only used the invite today.
-----------------------------------------


@prathapml: Does any other ways to close tab work?

----advertisement-----
GO AVANT BROWSER!
---the above is an advertisement brought to you by NolookingcaAdSense--

rules are easy:
be a forum member
an active member (50/100 posts or up)
share your invitations with other forum members

if you want them simply PM me and i'll post to who are given

If you dont ask for one you will not get one

Do not join Msfn just for a Gmail account

@SiMoNsAyS
That's nice! Some friends of yours might want Gmail as well, so a few of those invites will go in that direction. Just keep one or two for giving out here, might be more than enough - there seems to be nobody needing it at all....

@nolookingca
ha ha... nice advertisement, but I won't get hooked that easily, LOL.
IE and IE-based browsers are history as far as I'm concerned. And if the ads in Gmail are really too bother-some for you, there's ways to keep them from coming up when you view your mails, or to access Gmail through other e-mail clients. Although that is not being very kind to Google then. A better option to exercise is to payback google by not blocking out their ads. That makes me think - hey, how can I block out "NolookingcaAdSense"s ads? LOL
The reason about newsletters..... not really needed to mention that, but now that you say so - I'm gonna wish that the next time you see your Inbox, its filled with 1000 MB of newsletters.
And about the late "cashing-in" on the invite, yeah, I know friends who didn't use their invites until it was about to expire (Gmail invites will expire in 3 weeks, as the mail says) - so you are much quicker.


As far as I know, most multi-tabbed applications have three ways to close a tab:
1. the normal "close tab" button in the GUI.
2. Ctrl+F4
3. Ctrl+W

And its not any different with opera. So all those ways to close tab. But the main "close tab" button could've done with not being that "crashy" as I call it.



OK, and now back on topic. "Who wants Gmail?".
