this is very nice

[tschai]

Works like a charm!
Installed and nominated!

Sagol, usta!

[Mum]

Wonderful! Installed

[KeyStalker]

Had this installed a while back (well anther custom one) but I thank you for releasing this one.

[midlandi]

Nice and easy, if I can do it anyone can!!!

[Mum]

Is there any way it can check if the email is already used, before it sends the invite?

[droid101]

What does "Delete their own invites" mean, anyway? They can ban the people they invited?

[Saviour]

Can multiple recipients be added to this...or just one at a time? If so...how do you separate the e-mail addresses?

Also...

I really don't think it's a good idea to let any member...or usergroup, for that matter, other than Admins...have the ability to change the text of the e-mail in any shape or form. This is just asking for trouble.

Even though this mod is not supported...I think you should disallow any change to the email text...unless it's usergroup controlled or done through the product's xml install file. Know what I mean?

Who's to say that a spammer, who get's registered on one's forum, or a disgruntled member, will use this feature to send out an e-mail from my forum with inappropriate context.

Although I have installed this mod...I have to limit its use to Staff members until you can address my concerns.

Nice mod, though...

Now in this version selected usergroups can send just one at a time. But in next version can selected usergroups send multiple invites at a time. And last one will be added in next version usergroups cant edit their invite email text..

thanks guys for your great suggestions...

[Saviour]

Something else you may want to look into...

If an Admin is going to allow other usergroups to use this feature...shouldn't it be moderated?

Scenario:

Let's say the Admin has given Registered users permission to use this feature so they can send out one, or multiple, e-mails. Who's to say they're not spamming?

Don't you think it would be better to limit the number of e-mails one can send? Also...wouldn't it be a good idea to view these e-mails before they are actually sent?

I know that I wouldn't want a registered member using this feature to spam another forum's members...or anyone else, for that matter.

I'm not picking this mod apart...I just think there should be certain areas of it that need a little more attention.

I'd actually like to commend you on a mod that has a lot of potential...should these problem areas be addressed.

I look forward to your newest release so that I can give all of our members the ability to use it, so that membership registrations will increase.

Keep up the great work!
