An easier way to invite friends to OurNewton
Up until now, the way you sent out invites to this site was through your Group's invite page (e.g. http://www.ournewton.org/og/invite/878).
The problem with this is that if you enter an e-mail address for someone who isn't already registered for the site, they get an e-mail with a link in it to "join" the Group. The person will click the link, and get an "Access Denied" message.
To solve this, we've added a box to the homepage where you can simply enter someone's e-mail address and invite them to join the site with one click. In this case, your friend will get an e-mail with a link that takes them to the registration form.
Even better, every site user has a page where they can manage their invites. You also get more "social capital" points for inviting friends.
