Hey Sudeep - understood about the workaround limitations.  Will post back when we have a fix in place.

Hi Honore:

 

I'm using Firefox Mozilla 2.0.0.14 on a pc running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack2.

 

The workaround of using a personal account works only when a WiserEarth user displays their email.  I have mine hidden to avoid spam etc but people can send me messages from within WiserEarth.

Thx anyway.

 

Bowo: Thx.  I added my comments and bumped up the level of interest in the fix.

Greetings Sudeep,

 

There's a suggestion to enable reminders for invited people in the WiserEarth Suggestions group called Inviting people to join groups +4. Four other community member have supported this suggestion (+4) for implementation. You can add your vote by changing the +4 in the title of the suggestion to +5.

 

If you have any other suggestions/ideas, you can always post it in the group so others can elaborate or vote upon your suggestion for implementation. There's a simple instruction in the bulletin board to write down your suggestion/idea.

 

Thanks for the feedback!

Hey Sudeep,

 

Let me look in the delete members feature, and see if there's a bug on our site.

 

As for the invitations feature, that's not a bug.  We implemented that restriction early on to only allow one invitaiton to be sent, as we didn't want people to potentially spam emails over and over with invitations. 

 

However, we'll be slotting in a change very soon to allow administrators to re-invite users, and also to have an automatic reminder invitation sent during the invitation process. In the meantime, as an alternative, I'd recommend sending a email from your personal email account, and just make sure you have the link to your group in the email. If the person signs up with the email address, they'll be taken directly to your group homepage and be able to join right away.

 

Cheers,

Honore

Also, Sudeep - can you tell me what version browser and operating system you're using?

Dear WiserEarth Team!

 

There's a bug in WiserEarth regarding members invited to a group.  These are WiserEarth members that were previously invited by me, an administrator.  After I'm logged in, I want to remind these people who"ve been invited to accept the darn invitation.  But there's no such feature to send a reminder!  If we try to send another invitation, it comes up as "You have already invited this user to your group"!!

 

I tried to UN-invite by deleting the pending member from the group, but even that feature is buggy.  It opens a window that says "Delete Member: "username" and that's it.  No green button that says "OK" or "Save" or even a cancel button.

Thank You for resolving this much needed feature.
