ruthie,
i am not sure how i can accomplish the first step¡i have not been ableIf you can't you can't. But perhaps you could write to [email protected] and ask them to subscribe to your group. Assuming you can approve the transfer agent (if needed) and promote to moderator. I'm curious what happens when you try to invite someone. 1) Do you not even see the Manage Invitations item in the group's Management menu (meaning that you haven't been granted that privilege)? 2) Do you get some kind of error message when you fill in the Invite page? 3) Does the invite page seem to work, but the invitees never seem to get the invitation? 4) Something else? If (3) I would suggest trying that for the transfer address anyway. Mark is more savvy than the average user. Shal |

ruthie,
# 3 happens...i hv been trying it today myself, n anticipation of theA number of things can happen between the invite page and the invitee's inbox. Most common is that the invitation gets diverted to the invitee's Spam folder. Sometimes the invitee's email service drops or rejects the invitation. I suppose it is possible that sometimes Yahoo Groups fails to send the invite, but I don't know how to get evidence of that. I'd say try it (with [email protected]) anyway. If it fails no harm done and if it works it saves you and Mark some time working around it. Shal |

we have been experiencing this phenomenon in our group for months, across all email providers. the invites just never arrive, not in spam either.

perhaps a Plan B is needed for transfers, if this is a more widespread problem On Dec 12, 2017, at 9:16 PM, Shal Farley <shals2nd@...> wrote: |

ruthie,
we have been experiencing this phenomenon in our group for months,Yes, but groups.io is not your typical email provider. Again, no harm in trying it. perhaps a Plan B is needed for transfers, if this is a more widespreadI think an email to [email protected], including the name of your Yahoo Group, is about as good a plan B as could be.

In my experience the EMAIL route to invite/join is broken. The invited
member does receive the email but if they just reply to that nothing else happens and they are not subscribed. But if they click the link in that email which takes them to the group home page they can then complete the subscription. Groups.io presumably does that - remember they know all the ins and outs of yahoogroups. Whatever, invites for [email protected] clearly do work, many of us have done that recently.

J,
Watching yahoo groups blow up ...Reports vary widely. Some users/groups have apparently been unaffected by recent outages while others severely so. Panic about the sinking of Yahoo Groups has been a recurring theme through the years. But as the fellow in Monty Python and the Holy Grail said: "I'm not dead yet." Shal |
