One of my invitations just vanished.

Arisna · 08-25-2004, 04:15 PM

I had six Gmail invitations on my account less than an hour ago and now I have five. This wouldn't be worth making a topic about, except that I haven't sent out any invitations from this batch.

Now, I can think of a couple possibilities (i.e., someone guessing the encrypted invite link, a hacker in my account) but both are mathematic improbabilities in the extreme.

My question to you, the Google Community, is, has this happened to any of you? Please tell me if this is the case so that we may get to the bottom of this.

Sorry, I'll stop hacking into people's accounts now...

Maybe the link expired over time...

Arisna · 08-25-2004, 04:59 PM

Perhaps. How long would that generally take?

stevewise · 08-25-2004, 05:06 PM

ummmm... 2 weeks I think.

wow hey, I just got 6 invites to give out!

Check your Sent box, any invites sent from your account appear there.

Unless the person that hacked into the system (eg. me) moved the mail to trach and deleted it forever!
