people unable to invite me to party

I could accept this answer if I had this issue the entire time but nothing in my network has changed or if I was not able to hear people in parties. This literally started up a week ago and once I get the party invite it is OK. Prior to that I was able
to join open parties no problem but now It does not give me the join party option. I can hear people perfectly fin in Xbox party and some game chat but I am unable to join parties that do not have an invite restriction on them.

If they are unable to send messages, invite to parties or talk in a game.

Would people still be able too friend me and invite me to parties?

Lol large portion? its no different then the game invites from the 360. with that said i do agree that MS didn't really understand how people used party chat. it needs a little work, but the auto invites are awesome. i was always lazy anyway in a party of
6 on the 360 instead of sending invites to the 2-3 people joining me i'd invite teh whole party

Sounds to me his friends that understand the condition should stop inviting people to the party
