This can be down to a number of things. The most likely is that your ISP or email programme has wrongly marked the Colleague notificationen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/1087?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 30 Sep 2008 07:32:04 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:1d2b7946-f277-49c3-8d07-463397b7a5eaArlo Guthrie<p>When you find someone on this site that you know, and click on their profile, you&#39;ll see a button which says: &#39;Add to Colleagues&#39;.</p> <p>When you click this button, the system sends a request from you to that person, inviting them to become a colleague on the site. You may personalise this message if you wish.</p> <p>If the recipient accepts your request, they will be added to your own personal address book of your colleagues within the profession, found under &#39;My Account &gt; My Colleagues&#39;. You&#39;ll be added to their list of colleagues at the same time.</p> <p>This (I hope), will be useful for a number of reasons:</p> <p>1. We offer referral practitioners their own newsfeed on the site, to keep their referring clients up to date with the latest developments at their practice / in their discipline. When a GP makes a &#39;Colleague&#39; of a referral vet, that referral vets headlines are then displayed on the GPs personalised home page.</p> <p>2. The system can also be used to build a peer support group of your peers, whose opinions you value, and who you might like to confer with from time to time.</p> <p>3. Other possible reasons for adding people to your contact list: alumni, suppliers, friends etc. For example, I think it might be good to encourage sales reps of leading manufacturers to be on here. I am sure there are some reps who are the last people in the world you would like to keep in touch with, but others&nbsp;you&#39;d like to maintain contact with, but&nbsp;are often too busy.</p> <p>As regards finding&nbsp;people on the&nbsp;site that you know ... there are two ways. Either click the&nbsp;&#39;Find Colleagues&#39;&nbsp;main menu item, and search by name or membership category. Alternatively, whenever&nbsp;a member publishes content on this site (jobs / events / news / forum),&nbsp;a link to their profile appears alongside (from where you&nbsp;may&nbsp;Add to&nbsp;Colleagues).&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/1081?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 29 Sep 2008 23:51:30 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:91f7a911-df7b-48e3-a512-2b4b0a5f0304Richard Allport<p>Arlo - what is a colleague request?</p> <p>Richard</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
