Members

• CHANGE: The Moderator Note tooltip on the Members page and a member's page showed only the last 300 characters of a long note. That suited moderators who add new entries at the bottom, but not those who add them at the top. Long notes now show their beginning and their end, separated by an ellipsis, and the tooltip shows up to 400 characters. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41434
• CHANGE: In the Set Labels window on a member's page and the Change Member Labels window on the Members page, the checkboxes still had the old style, and you had to click exactly on a checkbox to check or uncheck it. The checkboxes now match the rest of the site, and clicking anywhere on a label's row, including its name or description, checks or unchecks it. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41386
• BUGFIX: If you opened a member's page from a filtered, sorted, or searched Members list, such as the Bouncing members, Save and Cancel took you back to that list, but only if you hadn't visited any of the member's other pages. After going to their Email Delivery History, Activity History, Notes, +owner Messages, or Subgroups page and then back to Membership, Save and Cancel took you to the full, unfiltered Members list instead. Saving a moderator note or changing the member's subgroup subscriptions had the same effect. You now return to the list as you left it, including the page you were on, and members opened from the Subgroup Members list return there. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41385
• CHANGE: A member's page said "This member is bouncing." at the bottom for both bouncing and bounced members. Bounced members now show "This member has bounced.", matching the Bouncing and Bounced badges at the top of the page. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41385
• CHANGE: When the Members page was filtered to Bouncing members, the Actions menu offered only Remove, Send Bounce Probe and Send Message. It now has the same actions as the other filters, including Ban, Change Email Delivery, Change Moderation, Change Color, Change Member Labels and Change Member Notifications, as well as Send Bounce Probe. Send Bounce Probe is now also offered when Bouncing is combined with other filters. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41389
• BUGFIX: On Basic groups, Change Member Notifications was missing from the Members page's Actions menu, except when it was filtered to Moderators, even though notifications can be changed on a member's page in any group. It is now always offered to moderators who can change member settings.
• NEW: The Actions menu on the Members page has a new Add Moderator Note action. It adds the text you enter to the moderator notes of every checked member, on a new line after their existing notes, so you can keep a running log for a set of members, such as "10/16 - second warning about topic hijacking". It is available to moderators who can manage members and is logged in the Activity log for each member. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41389
• BUGFIX: In groups where members can see the member list, the Members page didn't check that the person making a change to members was a moderator with permission to make it. The Actions menu only showed those actions to moderators. Each action on the Members page is now checked against the moderator's permissions.
• CHANGE: On the Members page, using an action from the Actions menu cleared the members you had checked, so you had to find and check them again to make another change. Members now stay checked after Change Email Delivery, Change Moderation, Change Color, Change Member Labels, Change Member Notifications, Add Moderator Note, Send Bounce Probe, Resend Pending Notice, and Claim, including members checked on other pages. Remove, Ban, Unban, Approve, Reject, and Delete still clear the checks, since those members leave the list. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41459
• BUGFIX: On the Members page, choosing Send Message when all the checked members were on other pages of the list started a message with no recipients. The message now goes to every checked member.
• BUGFIX: The Resend Pending Notice button on a member's page was only shown in one group. It is now shown for pending members in any group with a pending member notice.
• BUGFIX: After sending or cancelling a message to a member from their profile page, you were taken to the Member Directory, or to the group's home page if you can't see the directory. You now go back to the member's profile. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41457
• CHANGE: The Send To Member button on the page for sending a message to members is now green with a paper airplane icon, like the Send button for new topics and replies. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41457

Members

• BUGFIX: On the Members page, the member label and color filters were ignored when you also entered a search term or sorted by a custom member data column, so the results included members without the selected labels or colors. Those filters now apply to searches and custom-column sorts too.
• API NEW: Added member label endpoints: /getmemberlabels lists a group's labels, /creatememberlabel creates one, /updatememberlabel changes a label's name, description, or color, and /deletememberlabel deletes one. They require the manage_members permission, and labels cannot be created in Basic groups.
• API NEW: /getmembers and /searchmembers can now filter the members they return. The filter parameter takes the same filters as the Members page (email delivery, posting status, message selection, not confirmed, and others), label_ids returns members with any of the given labels, and colors returns members with any of the given colors. label_ids and colors require the manage_members permission.
• API CHANGE: /searchmembers now returns each member's member_labels, as /getmembers already did.
• CHANGE: When a moderator sends a message to a single member from the Members page or a member's page, the subject now starts with [DM], as it does for messages members send each other from a profile. Before, these messages had only the group's subject tag, so they looked at first like they had been sent to the whole group. Messages a moderator sends to several members at once are unchanged. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41340
• BUGFIX: When a moderator changed a member's email address, the Member Account Change Notification sent to that group's moderators said "A moderator in another group changed…", even though the change was made by a moderator of that same group. The notification now names the moderator who made the change, as it already did for display name changes. Other groups the member belongs to still get "A moderator in another group changed…". https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41348

Members

• API BUGFIX: Calling /updatemember without the member_labels parameter removed all of the member's labels. The labels are now left unchanged when member_labels is omitted; to remove all labels, send a single empty member_labels value.
