I transferred my graph tokens to my Metamask and then tried to delegate the tokens several times but everytime had issues. In first two attempts, it even consumed gas fees. I would highly appreciate if someone could help.  
Thanks a lot in advance

Hello @sanesanyo , sorry to hear that. Check out the Delegator Hub at the Graph Academy which contains information on the process of delegating, including videos. Also note that there is a troubleshooting article at the bottom in the Miscellaneous section.

[The Graph Delegator Knowledge Hub | The Graph Academy](https://thegraph.academy/delegators)

If you have further issues with the process, I would recommend raising specific questions in discord, the indexers\<\>delegators channel is typically well monitored by others who can provide feedback. Good luck!

Thanks @Oliver. I have followed the instructions as highlighted. In fact, in two instances I also paid ethereum gas fees but without any success with delegation. Any reason why I was charged gas fees even when I was not able to delegate??  
Thanks a lot in advance.
