How do I...

Only the person who started the conversation can invite more from the first post made in that conversation.
I guess that's obvious? :unsure:

Just did another round of PM tests and you are correct. As the conversation/Private Message starter, you are the only one allowed to invite others unless you enable the "allow anyone in the conversation to invite others" option before sending your message. What i don't see is a means to change this option AFTER you send your initial private message.

Big thanks to @parism for helping with the tests

Also @DonPanetta... might it be possible to "pull" another participant in by calling them with @u s e r n a m e ?

When you first post a PM, there is a checkbox to allow anybody to invite... it's unchecked by default... but a reference call by the PM initiator might work?

Did you check to see if YOU originate a PM with a member, but you don't check the "anybody can add" button... can YOU, as the originator, call another member into the PM later with an @ call?

Not yet. I believe tagging still does not invite anyone into the conversation but @parism and i both have multiple private messages going on with certain options enabled. I will tag you in both and see if it's successful.

tagged you in two separate PM/conversations. One with allowing anyone to invite and one without. If tagging allows invite, you should have seen something by now.

I haven't got anything... it must need to be initiated with the "invite" button, as my PMs have remained silent on both those flags

I thought so. I couldn't imagine that the developers of xenforo would allow one to simply tag a user in while simultaneously having an invite button.
 
I should think it should be a privilege for the OP to be able to do so regardless of the checkbox at the front end... however, the ones I checked that I originated did still have the invite button
