Invitations do not reach friends?

Question

Hi All,

My invitation did not reach my friends. Also when they visited the Group's Home Page and signed in by clicking on the "Join This Group" Tab, they could only view the messages. Other options on the left panel are preyed out.

I also can't find their names in the list of members.

Please help!

Regards

John

Answer 1

that join tab is not a sign in, it's a sign up. if your archives are open to anyone- public, if I go to your group I'd be able to read them as well without being a member. signed into Yahoo, they have to click that Join This Group tab,  and follow the steps to subscribe. they will be e-mailed an automatic file from Yahoo as well letting them know they completed the join process

Answer 2

The reason the invitations may not have been received may have to do with the way that your friends set up their accounts for Yahoo Groups.  There is a feature that people can choose to make it so that other group owners can't send them invitations to their groups.

As for when they join a group if the list is a moderated list and the other areas are grayed in it means that they have not been approved as members of the group yet.

After being approved for membership then they will be added to the membership list for the group.
