Hi, I'm updating a .net lib so it can handle lists. List creation is
OK but when I try and assign a member (an account which I also own) to
the newly created list I get the error:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<hash>
<request>/1/twitterapi/team/members.xml?
list_id=7869628&amp;id=94564101</request>
<error>You aren't allowed to add members to this list</error>
</hash>

I've checked the docs and and I'm pretty sure the Ids are OK. All
I've found is that you can't add a user who has blocked you to a list
(the member account that I'm trying to add hasn't blocked me as I own
both accounts).

Has anyone any ideas?

Cheers

Steve

You are trying to add members to @twitterapi/team which is an account/list you don't own. 

If you are adding user_id 94564101 to listb by usera you should use: https://api.twitter.com/1/usera/listb/members.xml?id=94564101

Thanks Abraham .. a little embarrassing as I’d got it all completely
wrong, anyway thanks for your help. It all works a treat now.
