## What's new

- **Make a new link.** `Invite a colleague` has a `Make a new link` button. It asks first, then
  gives you a fresh link; the old one stops naming you straight away. Anyone who follows the old
  link can still ask to join, but their request no longer skips the queue as yours.

## Fixed

- **Only people you invite can name you.** Your invite link used to end in your username, so anyone
  who knew it could say you had invited them and move up the queue. The link now carries a private
  code that only you can share. Old links that end in a username still open the request form, but
  they no longer name anyone.
