[DEFINITIVE] Gmail queue !


Recommended Posts

I know we are suppose to IM people for invites now but I've tried that several times and got no's because I don't have enough post or what have you. I really am looking for an invite so I can offer my invites to http://gmailforthetroops.com/ This is a site that is doing their part to help the troops overseas stay in touch with their loved ones. Imagine being able to help soldiers look at pictures of their babies they may have never seen! Everyday I think about all the soldiers over there and want to help. I've done a little but I want to do more. Could someone send me an invite and I will post my invites for the troops. This really means a lot to me.

Thanks for your time...rsktkr

The requirements have changed. Now, all you have to do is PM somebody on the inviter list who has invites, and you will get an invite to Gmail with no problems. Have you tried PM'ing somebody on the invite list (look for the latest version on the past two pages) with your full name and e-mail address?

Will the troops even be able to access the internet over there...? And if so wouldn't they prefer to use an email system that isn't in its beta stages...

They have almost daily internet access, yes. And why would they be less inclined to use Gmail than any other adult who wants the system? It's not like they're using Gmail to send sensitive intelligence data or orders, or something like that. They might want Gmail rather than Hotmail or whatever they're using. However, you don't need to beg using the troops as a lever to get an account here; just PM somebody on the inviter list, and you will get an account.

I GOT ivitities and want to give them here on neowin. so PM me. (i hoping u are girl with 2 ... big.... beautifull ...... eyes :shifty: )

Well I just mean the google email system isn't exactly 100% stable, which is why it is still in its beta testing stage. Why would the troops want to use an expermental system to communicate with their familys, loved ones etc. Why not just use their .mil accounts or any other stable system.

Thanks for the slam. I don't beg or cheat for anything or anybody! That was not cool. I want to help. Maybe you would stoop to that level but not me! :angry:

It was a joke, as you WERE using an intent to give the invites to the troops as an incentive for people to give you invites. I'm sorry if you thought I went too far by accusing you of begging, but it wasn't serious. However, I'm not saying that it is a bad thing to have good intentions with your Gmail invites, just that you don't need to have any specific intentions with the invites, other than that you'll donate some back to Neowin, in order to get an account. I'm sorry that you were offended by my post, but it was completely light-hearted. If you simply PM one of the people on the invite list, you'll get one in short order.

True, but maybe their military accounts don't offer 1 GB of space (as if anybody needs that anyway). You have a valid point, but maybe they just want to try it out, like anybody else. I doubt those in the military who use the internet a lot have a problem getting Gmail accounts, though, so I'm not sure I would donate my invites to that cause (is donating Gmail invites to the troops really a "cause," anyway?).

Yes, this very true. I'm pretty sure the troops must have bigger problems to worry about than getting a GMail account.

By the way, "beg" is not necessary a bad thing; here's a definition (I hope that Microsoft doesn't sue me for doing this ;) ):

beg

beg [beg]

v

1. vti ask with emotion: to ask somebody for something in a very intense, humble, or even humiliating way

So if you were passionately asking (as you were) you could classify that as begging. I didn't mean it in a degrading way, however, and I'm very sorry if you took it that way. I was just trying to make the point that you don't need to ask for an invite in any way; you can get one just by PM'ing someone on the inviter list. I also never accused you of cheating at all, which is a much different thing than begging.

Sorry I got red-assed but it sounded bad.

This may not be a "cause" but it sure couldn't hurt.

i thought everyone got a gmail cuz there was no queue. but i went out and came home with 18 pm. i dont have that much invites. i will go by order. if i get more i will still see who pm me earlier

You can edit the list, just copy it and add your name to the to top to say you have no more invites to give, should free up your pm's :p

The "queue" will now appear in your PM box ;) Yes, just send invites to the first three, turn the rest away, and update the list. That will stop people from PM'ing you and keep the list updated. Oh also, if you already have a Gmail account, people, please don't ask for another one. I've caught a few people (I won't name anybody) asking for invites when I know that they have received one already. This thread is run around the honor system, and I hope that everybody will uphold that so that we can get Gmail invites to everybody who wants one.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
