The "Sharing Settings" in the Yahoo Trip Planner doesn't seem to work.?

Following the instructions for a private, but shared trip, I added yahoo user IDs in the box that reads: "Allow these friends to view and edit this trip". However, every time one of the people I added uses the link I sent them to access the trip, they get an error message that says, "Oops, An Error Occurred...You don't have access to that trip!" We've tried re-doing the whole thing a few times and nothing seems to work. And, of course, Yahoo has no help support for this issue. I'm fresh out of ideas and open to suggestions (including a different Trip Planner that actually works)|||Are your friends logged in to Yahoo when they try to see your trip? (It's required unless your vacation is public.) See below:





"When you are creating your trip, you will see a section called "Share with Friends". You may also access this page at any time by clicking the "Sharing settings" link from the Toolbox in the upper right-hand corner of that trip's main page.





Enter the Yahoo! IDs of the the friends you would like to share your trip with. Only friends who are signed in with those Yahoo! IDs will be able to view and edit your trip.





If your friends do not have Yahoo! IDs, you will need to publish your trip (learn more) in order for them to view your trip; they will not be able to edit your trip.





Once you have finished creating your trip, it's time to tell your friends about it! Each trip has a unique URL associated with it. Cut that URL from your browser and paste it into an email to your friends."|||Yes, that is exactly what we tried to do and it didn't work. Was trying to figure out why / how to fix it. Obviously, the function just doesn't work for some reason. Giving up.


Thank you for replying.
