  • Tell A Friend

    Can someone please point me toward a "Tell-A-Friend" program or script (I'm not sure of the techno terms). I just want to allow my purchasers to recommend my site to their friends by signing them up on a form that will send their friends an email note.

    My skill level is "newbie", so I need it in simple terms. I know there has to be some postings somewhere about this, but I can't find it through a word search.

    Someone may have a better one, but this one does the trick. Just paste it into an html box in BV, edit the lines in maroon to suit your needs and you're done.

      Hey Racefan20,

      I copied and pasted the script you provided. Is there a way to customize how many friends the email can be sent to?

      If I use another company's script would I just paste it in the same way? Do I desigate a new page just for a bigger script?

        You'll need to ask someone smarter than me about that - forms are not a strong suit of mine.
