Invitation Message

 

How do I edit the invitation message. Every customization that has been added to the main message and it is pretty weird. I wouldn¡¯t respond to it.

Sharon,

How do I edit the invitation message.
Either in the Member Notices tab of your group's settings page, or on the Invite page itself.

Every customization that has been added to the main message and it is
pretty weird. I wouldn¡¯t respond to it.
I'm not sure what you're saying here.

The invitation as sent has some boilerplate added above and below the text that you can customize. I usually put a horizontal line, or row of hyphens, at the top and bottom of my custom text to more clearly distinguish it from the boilerplate.

I do have to say I wish I could edit the boilerplate. The way it is worded is kinda stilted and weird.

Once sent, the user gets a message from me the moderator but then the body of the message refers to me in the third person using my full name twice. Then that's followed by a custom message. At the end, even though it supposed to be from me, it is signed off on by someone else.

It just really kind looks weird and spammy.

Yeah, that's why I insert horizontal lines at the top and bottom of . That way I've got:

I'm hoping that the lines give enough distinction to make the change of speaker less confusing.
