It's not happening to everyone, but many are reporting that some members are no longer getting the Daily Summary (DS).  It seems to have started on May 20 or 21.  I tried changing my subscription on a couple of groups and it worked fine.  It seems to only be those that were already on DS on that date, but I can't confirm that.

Thanks,
Duane

I need to report back to my group about our Photos situation.

Can I ask (and I guess this is directed directly at Mark) what the
probability is of either one of these two things happening, sometime,
say, in the next few months?
1) Some sort of online photo resizing feature is implemented, as
discussed in this thread. (Solutions involving a one-time
payment included.)
or
2) Basic (free) group Photo storage is (at least) doubled.

Our (Wheeler and Wilson Sewing Machines) current situation is this:
- Our group is currently over limit, and even the very cumbersome
download/re-upload trick can't be used because even after
deleting the original, the Add button is still grayed out.
- A downloaded copy of our Photo archive takes 1.2G. If I bulk
resize that collection to 1024x1024, it takes just .25G, or
20% of its former space.
- The group was formed in 2013, so it took 7 years to collect
that many photos. We could go on as normal for a very long
time if we could resize, or if storage was increased even
modestly.

Our other option, of course, is to start paying. Almost more than the
cost, it's that the logistics of having to solicit the funds from the
members every year seems daunting to me. The donations feature seems
like it should help, but I'm not really interested in setting up
a back account and Swipe account. Is there a way to use the Donations
feature to have donations go directly to groups.io on behalf of a
given group's annual fee?

Hi Mark,

When a member leaves a subgroup or main group the entry in a downloaded activity log is just in the format "UserDisplayName <UserEmailAddress> left via web".  This is at odds with all other activities which identify the (sub)group name and memberuid. Can we have the (sub)group and memberuid details shown on "left via web" entries please?

I do a monthly analysis of my main and subgroups by downloading the activity logs, rolling them up into one file and using a few Excel formulas to extract information. At present it's not possible to distinguish between someone leaving a subgroup and someone leaving the main group because the activity log entries are the same.

Thanks,
Andy

I asked for this over two years ago; see #16576. I hope that the idea gets to the top of pile at some point.

I use Firefox with the Multi-Account Containers add-on. I can open a different browser tab associated with a different container and have different accounts logged in at the same time. Switching accounts is therefore just a case of switching to a different browser tab. There are probably other add-ons in different browsers that do something similar but this one works for me.

Ok. I will answer messages like this offlist from hereon in. Thanks.

Are you unable to upgrade the operating system?

If you can't, you're in the same boat as those still Running Windows
XP. You won't have the security updates to keep you safe.

Ok. From Mark's link, it seems like the problem may be my old computer etc:

"Devices that received security updates after mid 2015 should have the modern USERTrust RSA Certification Authority root certificate (valid until Jan 2038) in their operating system or browser truststores and should be largely unaffected.

Legacy devices that have not received updates to support newer roots will also likely to be missing other essential security updates and support for standards required by the modern Internet. We strongly encourage decommissioning these devices if their software cannot be upgraded. Non-upgraded, legacy devices should never be exposed to the Internet and special mitigations should be applied to isolate them from neighbor systems."

Any advice? Feel free to message me offlist if this is not relevant to most people here.

It looks like the Groups.io cert is cross-signed with the AddTrust
root that expired at 2020-05-30 10:48Z. [1]

Modern TLS clients don't have trouble with this cert because the
USERTRUST root hasn't expired yet.

Time for a newer cert without this root?

No problems on my Mac running safari.

Duane, could you get the info from the person on GMF about what they're running, etc?

It seems no updates are available. Maybe because my Mac is very old as well? (Macbook Pro, Retina, 13 inch, early 2015) Or because I'm still running El Capitan (10.18.6)? I was warned not to install Catalina. Maybe that was bad advice?
