I still don't see it. Just the joined date and time. Here is a cut and paste of that line from one of our member. I am a co owner by the way.

I noticed a post where the moderator was asking for a sort on the date format. So that;s another instance of the need to be able to sort on the subscriber fields I also noticed that it isn’t possible to download the past members list. That could be useful.

It would also be desirable if it could be included in the Directory, both in the Overview and individual views.
Something else that I noticed in looking at this, is that on the member list display, according to the column heading, what is displayed is date 'Applied' rather than 'Joined' Jeremy

Since I am often passing along items of interest to my readers, it is often helpful to be able to draw attention to a particular sentence in a posting with highlighted or colored text. Also I have seen the option for color inexplicably appear and disappear in the advanced toolbar. I'd like to have it ALL THE TIME!

Two requests: Format painter and option to allow forwarding of messages
#suggestion
Hello all -
1. Format painter button: Having this option would sure be nice. I don't like releasing messages sent in with a hodgepodge of colors and fonts and line spacings -- and it is nearly impossible without a format painter to get things to look professional. Is there a way to do this already? If not, is it a difficult thing to add? 2. In this time of COVID-19, I have realized that a list-serv can be a good way to START propagating information. But if members CANNOT forward messages, the propagation stops there. I realize that enabling wholesale forwarding messages defeats the idea of a restricted group -- which all of mine are. But somehow as moderator, I would like to be able to turn on / turn off a forwarding option for individual messages when dissemination of a piece of news or an opportunity would be good. Is this possible? Cordially, Jennifer Christian WFDRoundtable@groups.io ACOEM-WFDSection@groups.io etc. [Mod note: Added #suggestion hashtag]

I have looked at the two Members Lists to which I have access and cannot see it. My initial feeling was that this might be another manifestation of a 4:3 display, (see this thread) but shrinking the display size still leaves the "Applied" column firmly glued to the right hand side of the display. And just in case anyone asks... there is no horizontal scroll bar showing. Chris

The TZ is to the right of that. I believe only owner/mods can see that, but I don't have any groups set to allow members to see the list to verify. A member can easily see which TZ they've selected by looking at their Account Preferences. Duane

This should be fixed now. We're now allowing 'list-style-type' styling in user generated content. Thanks, Mark

Then it dawned on me that they aren't in the same time zone as me (used as the group default) so will get theirs later/earlier. In cases like this, it would be really handy if there were a notation in their member record of which TZ they have selected. I wouldn't want to be able to change it, just see it. Maybe next to or just below the Joined date. Due to some areas not having an official abbreviation, showing them in UTC might be best. I've tweaked the display on that page a bit and added the user timezone as well. Thanks, Mark
