Have set up photo stream and iColud correctly but when I receive email from friends to join photo stream the link sends me directly to the "get started" page. What to do?

Hi turianine,
Please go to System Preferences -> iCloud -> Photo Stream -> Options, and check that you have a box called Shared Photo Streamsticked.
If that doesn't solve your problem, please check this Apple support article.
Hi ! Thanks for your answer, but it does not work as I do not get any "options" in system preferences on photo stream. I do not find the topic in the support article either. It's strange as everything seems to be correctly set up both in system preferences and in iPhoto. As I said - when I recive email with invitations the link "join this photostream" sends me directly to the webpage "get startet"...
Are you signed into iCloud at System Preferences>iCloud, and if you are is PhotoStream turned on there.
Yes, I am signed in, Photo Stream is enablet both in iPhoto and iColud - everything should be working, but no..
What system version are you running? For shared Photo Streams you need to be running 10.8.2 or later. The following is from iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
What do I need to use Photo Stream?
To use Photo Stream, including Shared Photo Streams, you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:
- iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later
- Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later
You can still use Photo Stream without Shared Photo Streams if your devices meet these requirements:
- iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.1 or later
- Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later
