Question

My potential members are NOT getting the invites and it's important that they have web acces to files, calendar, etc. How can I get them into the site with we functionality - If Yahoo can't work this out, can any of you recommend another source to start a group in?

Answer 1

yahoo invites have been glitching for months on end- some get them, many never do. some servers block them as spam so it's not a totla ahoo issue. providing your group is not closed, you can send them the link from your homepage in private e-mail than the invite- if you have a closed group- you're in a bind and that direct link will not work- if it is closed membeship, you may want to create a new group but with restricted membership instead.

members have to have a yahoo account to gain access to the groups web features-

Answer 2

You can directly add your members to your group rather than inviting them:

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/groups/...

Answer 3

Send them a personal email inviting them to join your group.  Be sure to include the URL for your group's home page so they can just click on it to go to your group then they can click on the "Join This Group" button and join it.  That's so much easier for you and them.  

(If you "Add" them to your group, they would only be able to send and receive emails and could not access any of your group features.)
