Howdy,
I've transferred two domains from register.com recently. The first
one transferred no problem. I didn't have to do anything at register
to make it happen.
The 2nd one was about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Register.com sent me an email
(with an URL) requiring me to confirm the transfer within 3 days or it
wouldn't go. I hit the URL right away. There were TWO confirm
screens, and after the 2nd one I got an error message from their site.
The transfer went through however, without any further work.
