Invite option visible on profile, but leads to blank page

[Stephen]

I can see the Invites option on my profile here on meta, but visiting the page it’s blank, no option to invite visible:

AFAIK this is not a Bug, but may be poor UX or poor copy.

i.e. that is to show Invites you have sent, not to do the actual inviting.

I think that’s correct, when I click that think I see this:

And when I change the link to have my username, I get a blank version, as well:

How many Invites have you sent?

[AmiAthena (Stephanie)]

None, so far. I’ll try it and see what happens to that page.

[amiathena_invite]

Invited myself, this is me having accepted the invite.

[AmiAthena (Stephanie)]

It’s still blank for me, does it show anything to you?

Yep (definitely looks like a bug of some sort)

So on my install I see this at the top of that page:

I don’t want to start flat out guessing what’s happening here, but either a UI element is missing from there to send invites, or I shouldn’t be able to invite as a member, surely?

@techapj can you have a look?
