how to invite someone to join a coop

ArtmakerArtmaker Posts: 415
I probably should know this by now, but....

Say I find someone here in the forums and want to invite them to join my coop.
HOW do I do this?

I went to the members page, and tried searching for that member by her user name. No result????

Also when I post to come join my coop, how exactly do they find me?
I get replies "add me" and I don't know how. DOH!

    You can click the invite button on the member page

    or you can look up a player and click the invite button under their info

    Sorry the button is greyed out because our co-op is currently full. As long as you have available spots the button will be colored with a green plus sign. I hope this helps.:)

    You type in the exact username in the rankings to find them. So you go to the rankings through this three people button or through the co-op, but if you use the latter, remember to switch to the player rankings and not the co-op rankings.
    Do note, their name may have an extra number in the forums because of duplicate users, but not use that number in-game. The best you can do is check their signature, as I have noticed the number is often not added there. You can also use trial and error by adding the number and leaving it out to see what their in-game name is.
    Once you have found them, click their name and click on invite to co-op or send message if they are in another co-op already.

    To find you, they should either type your name in the player rankings and click on co-op info or type your co-op's name in the co-op rankings and click on it. In both cases the co-op's page will open and they can click the apply button, provided you have a spot.

    Good luck :D

    I clicked the button in your first image. It brings up a rankings page. And no matter how I set each of the bars, every time I entered their name, (copied directly off a PM to me from said member.) I got a message that no such member exists.

    As for your second image, how do I find that from a forum post? Tried the profile, and it's not there.
    Find posts, make friend, send pm....etc. Not the image you posted.

    I can find that outside the forums. If I go to search for members or some such thing.
    But if I post here, we're looking for members, and someone answers "I'd like to" I can't figure out how to send the invite?

    Larino I know about the added number. Probably because people from several servers post here, and the same user name might be duplicated. But.... that's usually a single digit. The person in question had a name and three digits. I would guess that is their handle and not likely it's duplicated. But I didn't try knocking off the last one.

    Gees why does this have to be so hard? Can't we have a link to our farms right in our profile?

    Even user names with multiple digits may be duplicate. So yes, trying to knock the last one off would have worked probably. Also, but I am certain you are aware, make sure they are on the correct server as well :)

    As for the second image Jess_D posted, that is in-game. There is no link between the forums and the game to invite anybody :( The menu Jess_D posted comes up when you have successfully found somebody in the rankings and click on their name. But yeah, you will need to have the correct username letter for letter, digit for digit :) Makes it kinda hard when there are weird digits hiding in the name. But if you, as said, have copied the username from a message, I am almost certain it was that last digit that was the problem why you could not find this person :)

    Well good luck ^^

    Well no. I tried a few times with names without any digits. And yea, same server.
    Each time I get "no such name."

    Either I'm in the wrong place or something I don't know.


    Well scratch that. I just tried with your name and sure enough.
    So ok, just one more little complication I'll have to work around.

    Thanks all.

    Maybe they are not on your server. Or they could have left the game.

    Make sure you have chosen "All rankings" not "This week".May be the player which you are searching for hasn't played this week. Try searching the player in All rankings.

    If their name still not appears in the rank then they might have stopped playing or either registered on a different server.

    Edit : As FarmerTess said above.

    My name should work without digits on EN, WWW and US. So then I am thinking you are not searching in the correct rankings. If you open the rankings list through the co-op, do note it opens the co-op rankings and not the individual rankings. So do switch to player rankings then. And as Manish said, make sure they are all rankings and not this week.

    Here, I found you on EN like this:

    Attachment not found.

    Are any settings you have in your window different from this window? Then maybe that is the problem. Note the tabs at the top and both drop downs. If you type in my name you should be able to find me like this as well.

    Ok, one last question.

    If I am on one server, and someone on another server posts some comment on how they have their farm set up, and all I want to do is view their farm, is it possible?

    Also.... I THOUGHT there were only three servers to choose from.
    US, UK, International.
    yet I found a player on the AU server. Since I can't log into the AU server (three farms is enough for me.)
    Is it even possible to view their farm at all?

    You can't view farms on other servers unless you have an account on that server. I'm not sure how many servers there are but I have seen us1, en1, au1, WWW1, in1 & nl1 on this forum.

    For these forums (if I am not missing a country) there are UK, US, WWW, NL, SKN, IN and AU. I did see some others before like Lithuania and Greece. And then you have also different forums for Germany, France, Italy, Spain, etc etc etc. So yeah, if you would want, you could start a loooot of farms ^^
