Invite by email greyed out

Hi there

Running Ubuntu 7.10 with TB2.0.0.12 and Lightning 0.8.  Recently noticed 
that my option to invite recipients by email has been greyed out.

What is happening there?

ahh - that is it...

Also just noticed that while I can accept calendar invites, they are not 
transferring to my calendar.  Presumably the same issue.

hmmmm, so I have to create a new local calendar then (I dont have one), 
then save events/invites to that calendar, then open them and manually 
change the calendar they are saving to.

Is that right?

err, not necesarily. The point is to be able to write to the specific 
calendar you need. It is NOT like "local (inside TB/LT) can do" and 
"remote are read only". I have network .ics calendars (local network)

that work normally, read and write, as well as local (TB/LT) to do the 
same .

maybe if you describe the arrangement of calendars somebody here may

using gcal

my little manual workaround seems to have it solved...not the most 
efficient system, but functional nonetheless.
