Question

Hi, I just have some few questions.

[see comment below]

Answer 1

How will you know if the people you have invited here in OS have joined already? Will it show on the invited users on your openstudy profile?

Also, can someone make a letter size poster for Openstudy? No need to be colourful because I don't have enough money to print coloured ones. I wanted to promote Openstudy before the exams, which will start next week for secondary schools, because I'm sure most of the students will gonna need help.
**Since gaining volunteer hours is very important here (where I am) , is it okay if it is highlighted on the poster? @Preetha

I'm planning to invite all the youth group in our library and other youths in our area.

Answer 2

hmmm...........

Answer 3

I believe if you invite a user and the create a new account using the invite, it will show on your profile, but if they have an account and still use the account when you invite them, it won't

And I believe the poster idea is a pretty good idea. It has been brought up before =)

Answer 4

Um,I happen to not know this question.I never tried it.

Answer 6

posters are not really "official" so yes as long as they accurately represent openstudy, you can change whatever you want on it :)
and highlighting the vollunteer thing is a good idea :D

Answer 7

Thanks @sleepyhead314, I've seen it before :)

But I'm just wondering if we can also include the volunteer opportunity that students may gain helping in OS on the poster. Many students are looking for that opportunity here, so I guess, they will get attracted to join OS if they'll know that they will get help and they can also help to get their hours.

Answer 8

Yes that would be somethign we should include

Answer 9

My problem is I don't have enough time to make a poster, so i'm asking if someone can do it for me (I will really appreciate it if someone will ) . I have also exams coming up and I'm tutoring someone during my spare time, so my sched is very tight this January .

Answer 10

Answer 20

=P

Answer 21

We can figure out what to put on there first =)

Answer 22

We need to have something that grabs attention, such as 'Study Pains' in the image above

Answer 23

I personally find the eyes very eye catching ;)
but a little creepy too...

Answer 24

Thanks for taking the time thinking about it :P

I just noticed something when inviting, there's an incomplete sentence:

Come study with me on OpenStudy. You can ask questions, help others, and connect with students studying \(\sf \color{red}{ \text{what you are}}\). Sign up for free at.....

Answer 25

*remembers* oh yeah... it came across my mind when I was looking at it a few months back too :D
... and then I forgot xD
haha wanna email contact@openstudy.com about it?

Answer 26

sure xD can you do it? I'm still busy copying and pasting all the email addresses that I gathered >.>

Answer 27

can you check whether this sounds okay:

Exams are coming! Are you ready? Do you need more practice? Do you need help understanding a concept? Do you still have assignments to do and don't know how to do it?

Come study with me on OpenStudy. You can ask questions, help others, and connect with students from all over the world, who are also studying various topics that may be same as yours. What's more? By helping other students online, you can also gain your volunteer hours that are needed to get your Ontario Secondary School Diploma. So what are you still waiting for?

Answer 28

That's great :)
how about make one directly for your school and make another more generic copy to keep around for future use? :D

and I've sent the email ^_^

Answer 29

okay thank you so much! ! sleepy-active-head xD

I'll try to make one (:

Answer 30

omg \(\unicode{x1F621}\)

Answer 31

hey guys, thanks for the time. Sorry I'm really in a rush so I just asked one of my friends to do it for me quickly xD

This is not a good one but anyway, I hope it works..
What do you guys think?

Answer 32

I've already printed some copies of this crappy poster and started to post around my school. If you guys made a better one just send it to me and I'll replace this one :P thanks!

Answer 33

hey waooo waooo waoo why u wrote @TheSmartOne <-- his name O_O

Answer 34

but nice :)

Answer 35

LOL!
that's the motto of openstudy doe xD

Answer 36

Hmm. To answer your other question. If they join using your link then you guys will become mutual fans.

Answer 37

*suprised that I didn't see this question and its been 3 days*

Answer 38

So rwhen they join a little box pops up by your fan list and tells you that you and the user who joined are now mutual fans.

Answer 39

"mutual fans" ? you mean they will be on the people that I fanned? and I can't unfan them?
lol I invited 45 people as of today and I don't think one of them even opened the link smh

yeah ikr, i'm shocked too that you missed my post :P

Answer 40

You can unfan them if you want to. But they assume you sent it to your friends or something so they make you mutual fans. Also a way to let you know that they accepted the invitation. :)

Answer 41

oh okay thanks for that info !

you invited 4 people, no wonder you know this stuff :)

Answer 42

Yeah... lol Hopefully yours go upto 45 even if they quit after a day.. lol

Answer 43

IF the message didn't go to their junk e-mail or in their trash >.>

Answer 44

Hmm. Maybe also tell them to check their emails to remind them :)

Answer 45

Hopefully its not like when you have to verify your email and it never sends it lol

Answer 46

what do you mean by that ? :O

Answer 47

"when you have to verify your email and it never sends it"??

Answer 48

some people have experienced difficulties in the past there the verification email for their account failed to send.

Answer 49

^^

Answer 50

And many users complain about this. And so they leave and never come back.

Answer 51

oh that! i think it will most likely to happen.... OS is having problems again
I don't even get notifications properly these days (I have to refresh my browser every minute)

that's really sad
anyway, let's just hope for the best :/

Answer 52

anyways I really like your poster ^_^
it's simple and old fashioned xD
and the eyes of those birds still creep me out O_O

not sure if this is still a trend but are QR codes a thing still?

Answer 53

thanks (even though I didn't make it )


what's QR?

Answer 54

That is just what they call the things that you scan. You know at like the grocery store on each product they have it.

Answer 55

aah quick response code..
i'm not sure

Answer 56

it's like a bar code
but for phones it takes you to the website onto your phone :)

Answer 57

it's on thomaster's poster right?

Answer 58

^ yes

Answer 59

http://prntscr.com/5t10py

Answer 60

And Sleepy I think people still use it. If you give them a long link to type and the QR code then they will obviously scan the QR code.

Answer 61

but "openstudy.com" isn't that difficult to remember or type ;)

Answer 62

yes agree.

even though they scan it, OS is not working properly in phones from what I know...

Answer 63

But if you give them the special link to invite them.

Answer 64

And also the issue with it is that they only have an iOS app. Not an android app yet. But it is coming out soon!

Answer 65

:)

Answer 66

android on the way!

Answer 67

xD
