Members

• 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

Moderation

• BUGFIX: Searching the Activity log only found whole words, and parts of email addresses and hostnames weren't always separate words. For example, searching for asourcing didn't find info.asourcingelectronics-ic.com. Searches made up of plain words now also match those words anywhere inside an email address, hostname, or name, so you no longer need to add * wildcards. Searches for a full email address still match only that address. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41412

Group Settings

• CHANGE: After you submitted an Export Group Data request, the page showed only a confirmation box, and closing it left a blank page. You now return to the export form with the confirmation notice at the top, as on other pages, so you can start another export. The confirmation's close button was also missing its X. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41402
• BUGFIX: Clicking Export Group Data with nothing selected emailed you an empty zip file. It now asks you to select the data you want to export. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41402
• BUGFIX: Going to an Admin page from a link outside the sidebar, such as the Export button on the Topics or Messages page, highlighted it in the sidebar but left the Admin menu collapsed, so nothing looked selected. The sidebar now opens the menus around it. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41402
• BUGFIX: On the group Settings page and other group pages, pressing Enter in a text box saved the changes and showed "Your changes have been saved", but the text box still had its focus outline, so it looked like it was still being edited. After a successful save, focus now moves off the field. If the save fails, focus still stays on the field with the error. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41320

Subgroups

• BUGFIX: The email sent to members directly added to a subgroup always told them the address to send email to the group, even when the subgroup was announcement-only and they couldn't post to it. That sentence is now left out for announcement-only subgroups, as it already was in the email for members directly added to a main group. The sentence also said "the groups" instead of "the group". https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41050

Calendar

• CHANGE: On View RSVPs, changing the response of the checked attendees cleared the checks. They now stay checked.

Photos

• BUGFIX: HEIC photos could not be uploaded to a Photos album. Browsers that can't display HEIC, including Chrome and Edge on most Windows computers, don't identify those files as images, so the uploader rejected them with "You can't upload files of this type", and HEIC files didn't appear when choosing photos. HEIC and HEIF photos can now be uploaded to albums, and they are converted to JPEG, as they already were when posting messages. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41431
• BUGFIX: In the Sort By menus on the Photos, album, and photo search pages, the up and down arrows next to each choice were the wrong way round, so choosing an option with an up arrow sorted the other way from what you expected and showed a down arrow once the page reloaded. Ascending choices now show an up arrow and descending choices a down arrow, matching the Sort By label and the sort arrows on other pages. On album pages, the arrow in the Sort By label itself was also reversed, and now matches too. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41299
