Suggestion to Add a Notification Link to the Invite Codes page

Title:
Suggestion to Add a Notification Link to the Invite Codes page

Area:
Invitation Code page

Summary:
I'd like to see either a link to Notifications or a checkbox to enable notification on the Invite Someone page itself.

Description:
I posted some invited codes on dw_codesharing, and only later realized that they'd been used, but I hadn't gotten a notification (for some reason, I assumed the default was to let me know when a code had been used) So I looked around, and while the toggle to have said notifications enabled/emailed to me was in the likely-sounding "Notifications" under "Manage Account," I did have to poke around, twice, actually, since I first hunted around on the Invite area, expecting something there.

I wonder if it might be helpful to have a link *on* the Invite Codes page to this setting, indicating that this is possible? Just something like "You can change your settings here so that you're notified when one of your invites is accepted here."

Even better would be a checkbox you can tick off right there that says "notify/email me when my invitation is accepted." I haven't sent invites out for a while, and I only now discovered that two older invites I sent were never used.

I do get notified when my invites are used - I get a message in my inbox saying something like "Someone you invited created the account xyz". Maybe your codes were used in the notification downtime?

That's because you have the notification enabled. The person suggesting this didn't find it at first and wants to see it linked on the invites page.
