Introduction
The purpose of this page is allow members to view and interact with invitations they have received and sent.

Requirements
The invitation link in the nlaeft nav box defaults to displaying received invitations. invitations should expire after 30 days of no activity/action. See the main message center page for more general message center page requirements. The requiremnents outlined below are specific for the actual invitation line items. The invite friends button/link initiates the process to invite friends from with the manage pages area.

There is a set of controls that will be available to the user to help them manage their message inflow and outflow.
  1. Invitations (##) - Sums the unread invitations and the newly accepted (since last vist) invitations in the sent invitations box and totals them into the (##) part of the navigation link



Stats
There will be a couple of statistics above the invitation line items summarizing friend inviting and receiving invites. This is useful to know because we do empty ou the invites after a period of time so the user may want to know something about her history.
  1. Sent:Accepted Ratio - displays how many invitations the owner has sent and how many of those invitations were accepted
