I'm getting very fed up with sending out coaxing messages to members to pull them back into the community, but the way the "Email a Member" system is set up they just click Reply and it comes to me as an email.
The whole POINT is to get them to go into the community to answer me.
I put my email in the From: line because that helps get it past spam filters.
But there's no way to make it return an error message telling them to use the PC system.
Also as I have said before the design of the link to get them to login is poor. It's a pale coloured flat rectangle saying "View this Conversation"
or "View this Discussion"
That doesn't do anything to push them to click to Reply.
Nor am I as admin allowed to edit the stupid thing!
It needs to be in the CENTRE not pushed to the left. If coloured it needs to be bright blue, or red or similar. It needs to say "CLICK HERE TO REPLY"
with text underneath - "Do not click Reply on this email. Use this button to Reply."
I'm wasting a lot of effort and time here only to get lots of friendly emails from members coming back into my personal email - and they're STILL not coming to login. Why should they when all they have to do is click Reply.
They're obviously keen to respond and write paragraphs to me. But that's not the aim of my effort. Gah!
