Michael,

what Time Zone will determine the time of the event(s) reported in the
email Reminder?

The time zone specified in the event.

Which may default to the timezone of the person who created the event, but it is in any case not the timezone of the receiving subscriber.

If they're not doing web access how does their Timezone setting matter?

An email subscriber in the Eastern Time Zone (set by default to the Pacific Time Zone), subscribed to a group in the Eastern Time Zone, with events in the Eastern Time Zone on the group’s Calendar in the Eastern Time Zone, receives an email Reminder - what Time Zone will determine the time of the event(s) reported in the email Reminder?

Dano,

He's talking about groups that are primarily email users only. Many
don't want to worry about web access.

If they're not doing web access how does their Timezone setting matter?

Mark,

You can now do actions to topics in bulk:
...
Please let me know if you see any issues or have suggestions.

Nitpick: Adding -test to the topics list of a group you do not moderate causes a slight downward shift of the list of topics. The row for the absent buttons apparently still influences the layout.

There are some alignment issues with the action buttons. They seem to think they're constrained to a middle column despite being on their own row.



It gets funnier as you drag the window narrower: the left and right objects start stacking up also, apparently to avoid colliding with the whitespace between them.

Shal

It can't be fixed if it isn't broken...  You (and each member) can set any time zone you like for viewing your calendar at the bottom right.  There has to be some sort of default if nothing is chosen, so PST is as good as any.

My groups are all in the Eastern (US) Timezone.
The events all take place in the Eastern (US) Timezone.
However checking the Calendar with an email address of mine (that was transferred from YahooGroups as an email subscriber only and just today became a web access member) I find that events (real people gathering in person in real places) which all take place in the Eastern (US) Timezone are listed with Pacific Timezone times!
All of my groups were set up in the Eastern (US) Timezone for real people gathering in person in real places - to have Pacific Timezone foist on them by default is not appropriate. The fix as is requires all non-Pacific Timezone people to get web access (theoretically easy, but awkward for many if not most users) and make the correction(s).

This is a bad default.
I get that it makes sense to people from many timezones who are just gathering online (rather than in person) to have the time in their personal real time…

But the default should be that subscribers/members are in each group’s Timezone, rather than in the Pacific Timezone - which is Pacific Time chauvinist. ;-}
Or at least it should be a Group Owner setting to choose if a group is a Real Timezone or Virtual Timezone group!

I would often like to be able to split off the older part of a thread but keep the original name for the newer part, so that replies via email by people who haven't seen the split don't go to the older part. That would be possible if you could choose whether to rename the older or the newer part of the thread.

Changes to the site this week:

• NEW: Bulk topic actions.
• INTERNAL: Verifying DKIM sigs of inbound emails, currently in testing only.
• BUGFIX: In some instances, when upgrading a group to premium with the annual plan, the monthly plan was selected instead.
• SYSADMIN: Fix time sync in the Groups.io machine cluster. Very embarassing.
• BUGFIX: Use the user's timezone when generating the 'On such and such' line for message replies.
• NEW: Scanning emails, files and photos for viruses/phishing. Currently in testing.
• CHANGE: For Reply To Sender groups, we don't delete any existing Reply-to headers.
• NEW: Ability for members to repost messages, with configurable parameters, for premium groups.
• CHANGE: Some domains will sometimes reply to emails with '550 This IP has sent too many messages this hour. IB504'. We now treat those as temporary errors instead of permanent errors, and retry again in an hour.
• NEW: Google map view for database tables with address columns, for premium groups.
• NEW: JSON export format for database tables, and the ability to create new tables from these exports.

Because of my vacation, the next #changelog email will be on August 3rd.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Mark Vacation

When:
Wednesday, 18 July 2018

Description:

I will be on vacation starting Wednesday, July 18, returning on Tuesday, July 30. I will be monitoring the site as normal, except for a few times when I'm on planes or otherwise out of cell/Internet coverage. During those times, a friend of mine will be monitoring the site.

Replies to support emails will be delayed during this time. Also, group transfers will be delayed as well.

I just tried to merge a topic on the normal page and got a 404 page not found error.  After reading this topic, I tried using the new page and it worked fine.  Possibly related?  If not, let me know and I'll send details to support.  Buttons at the top of the new page look a bit funky/misaligned.

Thanks,
Duane

Fantastic, I’ve been hoping for this for a long time! 😊
