view evites anonymously

Does it ever give you the creeps that, whenever you get an evite, it knows who you are? Worse, if you forward an evite link to a friend, when they view it, they can change your reply, or even your evite profile!

To view an evite anonymously, remove the &src=… parameter from the URL (if any) and add &unknownUser=true to the end. This link is also safe to send to friends. (That’s not as important any more, though since most evites let you invite other people “officially.”)

    More details … supposing Ryan sends me an evite and i want to forward to Bob. When I click on my Evite, i have to find the link that says ‘Not Maulik?’ and click on that. then i can send the new link (which already has the unknownUser=True appended) to Bob.

    Of course this will not make the visit anonymous. The eVite creator will see that the original invitee visited the eVite – even though someone else did.
