Invite subscribers

D'Or
Hello! I'm very new to this and i think i need help.
I created this forum: http://esclerose-multipla-portugal.2375821.n4.nabble.com/ , its a forum about and for people with MS in Portugal, but i'm not sure if its visible and anyone is able to join , also from what i saw in some questions here, do i need to add something to the forum to invite subscribers to join in..?
Thank you very much! Any help is super appreciated :)

I can confirm that it is visible and that people will be able to register.

There's nothing now to stop you emailing colleagues and friends, posting on social media, alerting related web sites, phoning local and national radio stations and writing to your local and national newspapers to alert people to its existence.

The automated message that Nabble issues says nothing about the forum. It just provides the address. When people click on that to find out more, because you force people to register, then they learn nothing about why they should, so I don't think the module will help you, given the way the forum is currently set up.

To help you promote it, it may be worth registering a more memorable domain name, as any of those automatically generated by Nabble produce will never be in the slightest bit memorable. I would urge you not to force people to register before they have a chance to see the nature of content. That arrangement only suites forums where people know exactly what they will be getting when they register.

You may be worried about spam but in my experience it is rare to see it on a new forum. Spammers only tend to be interested in popular high traffic forums. You may find this section of my Administrator's guide helpful:
