I was looking into the Groups / Invite system, and why it would not send a PM when you invited someone to join an In-Game Group.

The good news is, that is fixed. Now, when you invite someone, they will get a PM letting them know they have a pending invite.

The bad news is, the "Quick Message" feature of a user's profile was preventing this. You can still send them PMs from their profile, you just need to do it by clicking on "Send Private Message" instead of the Quick Message box.

I'm still looking into a way to notify Admins when there is a pending request to join their group. In the meantime, Group Admins should check their main Group pages on a semi-regular basis to check for requests to join.

Bugs?

When I click "You have [] new private messages." on the left sidebar, it takes me to "View My Profile" rather than "My Private Messages."

I'm also getting notifications when people join in-game groups. Should I? Do I have to?

Thanks Geoff!

Email notifications of new PMs are working, but the "You have X new private messages" link reset to zero and new PMs are not incrementing the number.

Can corroborate Cassie's experience, also.
