Having paid up and requested a transfer, Yahoo is refusing to send an invite saying "[email protected] : Invalid email address"

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Graham.

You have to log into Yahoo and invite the transfer agent to your Yahoo group. It sounds like you are trying to invite it to your groups.io group.?

If you've never done this before, instructions can be found at?

Aha, I believe that is what has happened, many thanks!

(Please disregard my previous reply)

Thanks,
Graham.

I'm having the same problem but I am doing the invite correctly from Yahoo.? It's responding:? "Sorry, an error occurred while loading the content." in red.? Any ideas?? Apparently the transfer can't proceed until this is solved.

Thanks!

Alan -- That's a totally different error from what Graham was experiencing.

Usually, the invitation has gone out anyway. Hmmm...are you glad you're leaving them yet?

To be sure, go back to the groups.io transfer page at?/yahootransfer. Pull down the Existing Transfers menu at bottom right and select the group that you're trying to transfer (click it). A status bar should appear at the top of the resulting page. If it says something along the lines of "we have received your invitation and will accept it soon...", then everything is fine. If not, the invitation did not go out. Return to Yahoo and try again.

When the transfer agent accepts the invitation, groups.io will send you an email with further instructions.

Thanks, Bruce.? The Existing Transfers page does not seem to know about an invite, and I have done it multiple times from Yahoo, always with the same response.

Should I just wait a while or are there other steps to take?

Thanks.

You can try the steps listed in this post by Shal:??/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19411

I don't know if it will work, but he's far and away more of an expert on Yahoo Groups than I ever will be. Certainly a browser refresh isn't going to hurt anything...not sure I'd be too happy if I had to go about deleting cookies.

Please report back on what you find out.

Bruce
