List sharing is not working

carise says:
Hi, I am using FireFox 2 on Windows XP (SP2), as well as IE7. I am trying to accept a list that someone is sharing with me. Once I accept the list, I'm able to view the items in the list, the tags, etc. just fine.
As soon as I browse away from RTM, or I refresh the page (ctrl-r), and I go back to RTM, I see that I still have a shared list. The tab for the list I accepted is no longer there. I have to go back and accept the list in order to see the contents.
Help! I've been experiencing this for the past 2 days or so. (I did post about this in an earlier topic but I don't know if anyone saw it... and I don't know if my post was really related to that topic.)

I too am unable to share lists. I am accessing RTM through Firefox in the normal way. I have tried to share two lists: 'Work' and a smart list that I created. My contact can see nothing except a blank tab with the name of my smart list. When I search for searchWith:[my contact's user name in RTM], I get no results. He has tried to share a task with me and this did not work either.
Does sharing actually work or is it a complicated joke played on new users?

Actually, list sharing *has* worked in the past. I do have some lists that I shared last year (probably mid or early 2007) so those are working just fine. It's just the lists I'm trying to share *now* that are misbehaving.

List sharing is definitely not working for me. I cannot even share tasks. Something is very wrong - I think I have followed the instructions carefully.

Y'all are getting farther than I am. My friend does not even get a message that I wish to share a list with him. We are able to share individual tasks though.

Is anyone able to share lists? It's still not working for me...

carise says:
Ok. Here's something weird.
My friend shared another list with me. I accepted that one and the other list that refuses to get shared, and whaddya know.
The new list shares just perfectly fine. The one I keep having to "accept" still won't get shared permanently!

carise (and anyone experiencing similar issues), would you mind contacting us with your username, your contact's username, and the name of the list you're attempting to share? We can check things out on our end. Thanks!

And, I should add, if you haven't provided one already, please send a full description of the problem that you're experiencing and the steps that each user has taken in attempting to share the list. Thanks!
