messaging problems

asamuel

I am a community builder. I have invited some other smugmugers to join in. Some have taken me up and thats great.

Sad thing is I cannot get further messages to them unless they have left their private email address on the website. OR I leave a comment on a picture and hope they will find it that way.

am I missing something?

Thing is I would like to share some ideas about our community but I have no way of making them aware.

If this is a design oversight or intentional, I would consider some method of communication:uhoh bet you I just carn't see the wood for the trees.

Inviting members

Simply navigate to the smugmug home page of the person you'd like to invite. You'll see an invite link by their name if you're logged in.

Thanks for the reply. Thing is I have already invited them and they've obliged.

I appreciate the anti spam sentiment. I dont know enough to even presume an arguement with that.

I would put a note on the community page itself if it was possible for the mediator to do so....nudge, nudge wink wink. or how about the invitation being personalised?

Just seems a shame not to beable to say anything at least at the initial stage.

N.B. this is good willed enquiries and not feather ruffling guff.
