send to a friend

[wozzle]

I have just recieved some information and at the bottom of the message it says send to a friend I would like to do this but do not know her username can i send it through to her e-mail address which i do know. Or do i have to get in touch with her first to ask what her username is.

Hi wozzle,

When you click on the "send to a friend" link on the bottom of the post a yellow box will appear. If we are talking about this thread here and I was trying to send it, it will say

Send the topic "send to a friend" to a friend.

Your name: krisesjoint
Your email address: My email address will appear here automatically
Add a comment: I might say something like "I think you will enjoy this thread"
Recipient's name: I would insert my friend's name here
Recipient's email address: I would insert my friends email address here

Your friend will then get an email from RootsChat giving the information, with a link to the thread

Good Luck..........Kris

thanks for that krisesjoint. I have done that. I will have to wait to see if she receives it (fingers crossed)

Hi wozzle,

Sure she will (if she is online she will well and truly have it by now) 

The advantage of "send to a friend" is that if the person is not already a RootsChatter, by you sending the link to a friend in this way,  within a few minutes, the person now has your RootChat username as well as the Link to the thread you thought they would enjoy seeing, so should this person decide to become a member they will know, before joining, that there will be a friendly face about

Of course we all know they will see lots of friendly faces 

Cheers Kris

Hi Wozzle & Kris

I think I've been a RC member for about 3 years - I have never before seen that link - Amazing what one can look at and not see every day

Thanks for the query/answer - I might now use it

I remember being aware of it for a long time before using it.

I find it very useful: if I see something while browsing at lunchtime (at work!) I email it to myself as a reminder for when i get home.

I don't have any friends you see...
