Hacker News Reader

Mine didn't work. I've resent a request after adding some information to flesh out a google profile.

That is the current alternative to sending invites...sharing posts/comments which gives you an invite when you go to view.

But when you click through, I get the Join Google+ button, but that links back to https://plus.google.com/u/0/up/start/?sw=1&type=st where it says 'Keep me posted'.

Hmmm...for me, when I click to view the comment on Google+, there is a string in the URL ?gpinv=randomchars that I'm assuming functions as an invite. (currently 404)

Seems to be different for everybody. Who knows...this whole process is a disaster :-)

Please read the thread carefully.

well i got a (karlton) google account and the email just offers two links
