Hi Mark,

The mobile app shows a very nice implementation of this: the table (contents) is a separate scrolling area, the heading and the surrounding part of the web site remain in place when you scroll in the table. The web app doesn‘t quite do this, at least when I look at it in Chrome on iPad: The whole page scrolls up, until the header row of the table hits the upper edge of the screen. Then, only the contents of the table and the footer part are scrolled further. Thomas

Chris,
The only solutions ... would be one in which the notification was sentA simpler solution would be to keep the "Notify Members" checkboxes where they are, and implement them where they aren't. Then the originator decides when he/she is "done enough" to notify the rest of the members. Shal

Plus add a "Follow" link to the footer of the web UI
#suggestion
When a user has the Following Only radio button selected on the Advanced Preferences screen, they should be able to follow a topic by clicking on a "Follow" button at the bottom of each message. Currently, there's a Follow link in emails, but not elsewhere, AFAIK. This was discussed last fall here: https://groups.io/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/46661487?p=Created,,,20,2,0,0. Tom

Re: Testing notifications
#misc
Andy,
Which sort of comes back to Chris' point that the notifications workVive la différence! The underlying mechanisms are in fact different in a relevant way. The email notifications stack up in my Inbox all day long until I get around to looking; hence the reaction people had in the first day about they and their members being "bombarded", "flooded", and other descriptions of an undesirable excess of notifications. The web notifications are transient: here and gone on my screen in a few seconds. They don't need combining because they don't build up anywhere. I'm not sure how the app notifications will be, hopefully they won't stack up in the notification bar. That said, I think the combiner could be modified to have an immediate "first out" if that were desirable. I had advocated such a thing, but I'm no longer so concerned about it. It would preserve immediacy in a low-activity group, but it might add to the overall complexity and apparent inconsistency of Groups.io behavior. Shal

Re: Testing notifications

Mark,
All notification titles now are prefixed by the group's subject tag.Hm... That will take some getting used to. Not saying it is a bad idea. Now they look so much more like ordinary group messages. By eye my first reaction to my Inbox was "how did all these messages post without approval notifications?" It took a moment to realize half of them /were/ notifications, not messages. I'd almost recommend including "Notice:" in that prefix, but that seems a bit heavyweight. "Note:"? "Nt:"? Is there a standard abbreviation or latin import that would suit? "nb:" is almost right.

However, having thought about it over lunch, I have come to the conclusion that from my perspective it really doesn't matter. I honestly cannot see why a delay - reportedly 4 minutes - makes any difference at all. If OTOH it helps cut down the number of individual notifications about the same subject then I'm all for it, and that explains why I suggested in my earlier post that 4 minutes might not be long enough. A notification delay doesn't even make it into the list of Top Twenty Things That Annoy Me. (FWIW nothing about Groups.io makes it into that list!) I am "out" for some of the time on most days, but of course that means I don't see things that happen on Groups.io in real time. It really doesn't matter if I have to play catch - up later. In what way is life diminished by any such delay? Chris

I think having a choice of whether I want a push notification or an email (or both) is great; slowing down the delivery of emails (unless the receiver is in control) is not.But is there any evidence that suggests Groups.io is slowing down email deliveries, even taking into account your other points about possible delays due to polling differences? Every now and then some emails seem to be held up somewhere along the route; on occasions I have had messages turn up post - moderation before the (email) notification that there was something awaiting moderation put in an appearance. Yes; it's a bit annoying but c'est la vie... <shrug> Chris PS to Mark; thanks for turning my push notifications on; I got the first one this morning. For some reason the group I moderate has gone super - quiet in the last few days so I had to wait for something to happen. A nice, clear, clean, unmistakeable appearance. :)
