Tell a Friend

Hi

 

I am just curious of the resaoning behind having to be logged in to use te "Tell a Friend" box in the product pages?

 

It is not spreading the word much & seems too much of a hassle, so won't get used. I'm sure there is a valid reason, but I do not know it.

 

Thanks

Julie

Probably to prevent "spamming".

 

Most spambots won't register (or can't).

 

So the reasoning is this: If you're logged in, you're most likely not a spambot, thus the message must be in earnest.

If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

 

"Given enough impetus a parallelogramatically shaped projectile can egress a circular orifice."

"Headers already sent" - The definitive help

 

"Cannot redeclare ..." - How to find/fix it

Hi

 

Good point. Do you think it is worth keeping? My second attempt doesn't look as cluttered as the first so I guess until it does it could stay, but it may be the first box to lose if necessary.

 

Thanks for taking the time

That's all down to "personal preference", Julie.

 

I don't have it on the site I did.

 

It does make it a bit easier for someone to tell someone else about something they've found, but then there's a regular email, a phone call, a face to face conversation, etc., to do the same thing.

My thoughts too & the less clutter the better. :lol:
