Before, there was a link on the bottom right side called “Invite Friends”, and we used to enter the recipients emails and they used to receive a link and register. I can’t find this anymore - Does anyone know where it was relocated and how we can refer or invite friends and colleagues ?

IIRC, it was removed. It was mentioned in one of our threads recently. Let me see if I can find it.

Found it. Last comment from Heather.

"Hi all - The "refer a friend/colleague" function on the site was removed from the site. As this post is no longer relevant, it will be closed. "

Could not find it either.

They make the effort to remove that link (which was a useful feature), but not to remove other non-useful features, or to add useful features that we have requested ongoing for a long time.

Also, I just check with the badges, it doesn't say that the badges (no longer available).

So there is no way to invite but you can still get the badge, How?

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to pop into the thread and let everyone know that the "Invite a Friend" link has been retired until we can come up with a better mechanism. As we make enhancements to the site, there were some flaws with the "Invite a Friend" feature that required a lot of work and the decision was made to retire it for now.

If you have people you want to invite to join the community, you can either send them an e-mail directly with a link to the site, or link to the page from your social pages. Unfortunately, this does not help you earn the Promoter badge and we'll work on a way to ensure that it's clear that badge is currently not available.

Please keep in mind, we are reviewing quite a bit for enhancements/re-evaluation over the coming year to enhance your community experience, which may include removing some features and adding others and it won't all happen at once. We ask for your continued patience as we work to build a community you continue to enjoy interacting with and that continues to help you be more successful.

Thank you!

Marjorie
