What to do when accepted invitations to members are not showing up as pending or members?

Question

I have invited members correctly; they have received the invitation; they have then clicked on the accept button, but I don't get their names listed in the members or the pending files. It seems that their response has disappeared. This has happened to more than one person that I know of, possibly more people that I am unaware of.

Answer 1

The person requesting probably hasn't followed through with it yet.  If you have the time, email them and ask if they need help.

Answer 3

I experimented a little bit trying to figure out what could be your problem. I did not realize how puzzling accepting invites could be for some people until I sent myself an invite using an email addy not associated with Yahoo just as if I was not already registered with Yahoo. I found there is more involved than just you sending the invite and them clicking an accept button.  It would take up too much space here on YA to describe what's needed so I urge you to send yourself an invite to an email address that you do not have associated with anything on Yahoo.  Then you will be able to help your prospective members through the process.  

IMHO, I think it would be easier for them to just go to your group site and click on the Join This Group button than to guide them through the invite process.
