Are you experiencing problems with your invites or do you have a conflict with the websites OnLoad event? 

The WhosOn Javascript tracking code requires the OnLoad event in order to track visitors correctly. 

If in your webpage you are overriding the OnLoad event you may see behaviour like the invites not working or Visitors remainig in your current Visitor list long after their icon's have turned red.
In order to resolve this you would need to split the javascript tracking code into two parts.
Splitting the following line away from the main javascript:

if(typeof sWOTrackPage=='function')sWOTrackPage(); 

add woAfterLoad(); so you get 

if(typeof sWOTrackPage=='function'){sWOTrackPage();woAfterLoad();}

This then needs to go into your OnLoad event, for example;

<script...

function myOnloadFunction()
{
   //my page onload code here
   if(typeof sWOTrackPage=='function'){sWOTrackPage();woAfterLoad();}
}

window.onload = myOnloadFunction

</script>

Then you should find that you invites and visitor tracking is working correctly again.
