Huh? My profile doesn’t show that button.
Hmmm … <pokes around the forums a bit> …found this Meta topic, which says you have to be Level 2 in order to:
Use the “Invite others to this topic” button for one-click onboarding of new users to participate in topics
Hmmm indeed, seems I’m only level 1.
But … But … your picture shows the Invites button in the context of a users Profile, not in a topic!
<double checks Promoter badge description> which is too brief (“Invited a user”), so doesn’t answer my new question:
Are Invites invitations to outsiders to join this forum? Or are they a way to invite a community to join in on a particular topic? Or both?.
Since the User Level based restriction to topic invites may not also control the appearance of the “Invites” button in my profile, perhaps it’s time to check out the Discourse forum software help!
I’ll report back …
