Do you not get the standard PSN message received indicator come up in the corner of your screen, you can then use the ingame XMB to access the message which will have a join option.

I scan read the thread and thought this was another thread about the borked invite issues so I was going to close it. On reading it a second time I realised I was being hasty and left it open

I Know there's an option to turn off the notification of people who have come online or offline, i'd suggest having a butchers at the settings. It may be something you turned off without even reaslising?!

Also you should start a chat and invite your friends to it, that way you can ask for an invite and people can tell you they've invited you etc...Thats what alot of us tend to do plus its good to have some banter between games too!!

It works great, sometimes you may get kicked from a game or need to go make a brew etc so you may leave the party for 5 mins but once your back all it takes is a request for an invite in the chat and you'll get one! Plus the banter between a few lads on here is comical
