Design Forums - Graphic Design & Web Design Forums

Hey guys,

As you know Design Forums is still in the very early stages of establishing itself as a design community and as such I'm really relying on you guys, the members, to help Design Forums grow in these early days! Having been a member of many forums over the years, I know from personal experience that a personal recommendation and invitation is the best way to attract active members.

This is where I'm asking for your help, I've just installed a clever little plugin that allows members to invite friends direct from the 'My DF' control panel, simply click on this link:

http://www.designforums.co.uk/profile.php?do=invitation

Enter your friend/contacts e-mail address, along with a personal note (optional) and click send! It's as simple as that, DesignForums then generates an e-mail with a link for your friend to click automatically setting you as the referrer.

Thanks in advance for your help & support with this, it's really a huge help!
Cheers, Greg

Current referral stats are as follows...

Greg - 7 Referrals
red tiger - 2 Referrals

These are just referrals where the new user has clicked the link or has specifically entered the username in the referral box on registration, so there has probably been a few more.

If you know a fellow graphic designer, web designer, web developer or freelancer please let them know about the site, it's only with your support that we can attract more members and make the forum an even greater place to discuss design.

Thanks for your support everyone!
Greg

greg, The links says:-

Berry, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation


if u could sort it out i'll bang some emails out. cheers berry

Hi Berry,

Sorry about that, and thanks for letting me know, can you try again now?
Just tried changing a few of the settings for it, hopefully will have solved it.

Thanks,
Greg

Greg can i bulk send these? just drop all the emails in the box or has it got to be one at a time?

its ok its sorted....

Hi Berry,

With that plugin I think it painfully has to be one at a time, unfortunately that was the best I could find to work within the vBulletin system. I'll have another scout around now, to see if there's any other plugin alternatives to do more than one at once.

Cheers,
Greg

it's ok ive just done about 50 one at a time.Thank god for cut and paste!

Wow thanks Berry! Really appreciate that, I think the plugin sets a limit to 100, so let me know if you run out! Although guessing the tedious nature of cut & paste may take effect before that
