*Tips for Requesting Invites.*

Having given out invites, I just want to extend a few suggestions for requesting them :

1) Best way is to PM someone offering one (or e-mail). That way, they can edit (or delete) their post to say "All gone now!" or similar. Plus, it goes direct to them; guarantees they see it etc.

2) In the PM, please put your email address (for them to send the invite to) and your first and last name (or initial).

Your account is then set up with the e-mail addy you choose (after you click on the link in the invite they email to your address) and that first and last name or initial. Needn't be your real first and last name, but that's up to you! Lots of people have an Internet name they always use for example.
This is because when you eventually get your shiny new account, these are some of the user prefs:
Name:
(shown on mail you send)
* Use my name in Google Accounts (Firstname Lastname)
* Use a business name or nickname: [textbox here]
So, you can set up a new from name but you may wish to have the permanent name set as something you want to stay with.


Enjoy your account.
