Can aol users join a yahoo group?

Question

A friend wants to join my group here on yahoo, but he uses an aol address, is there someway that he can join w/o having to sign up and have a yahoo id?

Answer 1

Just tell him to get a yahoo ID, its not that hard

Answer 2

if they don't have a Yahoo ID, they can send a blank e-mail to the subscribe address located at the bottom of your group home page. they'll then be a e-mail member only, meaning the groups page they wont be able to access.

if they have a yahoo ID already, all they need to do is add the AOL address on it (by the way, I have AOL and belong to groups)

go to this link- http://groups.yahoo.com/myprefs click add email address on top left- follow steps and confirm address.

then go to this link http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups click edit my groups on the top left- locate group (if there's more than one) under the column Email Address click the arrow for the drop down box and select new address- click save changes

Answer 3

I believe your friend needs a yahoo ID to join any Yahoo group and to be able to participate.

Good luck to you both.
