Re: Log rejected messages

Yes, I think you’re misunderstanding. The log contains the text of the rejection message, but not the text of the message that was rejected. I’m suggesting the latter. The rejected message is not logged or saved anywhere.

The most likely thing that springs to mind is that your user is blocking cookies from Groups.io.
When you log on, Groups.io sets a small first-party cookie with an authorisation token. Every interaction with the messages uses this token, so if it's not present the login process is triggered. Cookies are not automatically bad things, indiscriminate blocking of everything will also break good-faith players like Groups.io

I have a user, only one I know of, who has to sign on every time he goes to another message. So he goes from message A and tries to view message B, IO makes him sign on again. It is like the "Messages" tab on the left is signing him off?
Anyone else seen this, and if so what is the fix? Thanks, Tom

Log rejected messages
#suggestion
Just as the text of mod messages to members are now logged, it would be convenient to log the text of rejected messages within the "rejected" log entry. Currently, these can be found only within a rejection notice (if one is sent), or in the email notification of the pending message, which may be far removed from the time the message is rejected (and difficult to find). I just received the rebuttal to a rejected message by a member in a group where I'm a mod, but have no idea what message was being rejected. I can see the rejection action in the activity log, but no text.

Aha. I'm sorry for the dribble but I just discovered the cause: when I went into the other group, I had just composed a draft in THIS group. I did it again to test, by changing the draft a tiny bit and going into the other group again. And there it was again, at the top of THAT group. Very fleetingly.

Well, this is odd. I just saw another *fleeting* banner when going into another group in which I'm a mod. I hadn't done anything in the group. It disappeared immediately. Was like a ghost.

Glenn, I don't claim to know anything about if/how this works. But I wonder about something. This is an "application level behavior" so it just depends on how Mark implements it. There are two standard approaches 1) If there is a redirect in place, the upload fails with a message saying MyFile1.zip already exists. This is assumes there is a mechanism to delete a redirect if one really wants to. 2) Allow uploads to "overwrite" redirects. 2) has the potential of really confusing people ("I asked for X but got Y named X") in our context, so I would prefer 1).

Glenn, I don't claim to know anything about if/how this works. But I wonder about something.
What happens after this sequence of events: 1) Member A uploads MyFile1.zip to the Files section. 2) Moderator moves MyFile1.zip to a new folder, or renames it. 3) Member A uploads a new (different) MyFile1.zip to the Files section. So when other members come along and try to download MyFile1.zip, how do you decide which one to serve up as a download? Andy

Same here. All is good. :-)

Sorry for the dribbling messages (my downfall and against the group guidelines, I know), but the next time I went back into my group, a couple of seconds ago, it was counting down at 128 seconds. I'll stop there.

I also fleetingly saw it just now in THIS group, after hitting "send" on the previous message, right before it said "your message has been sent."

(I don't know if this is a feature of the error notice, but it seems to start with 10 seconds and then a countdown. Then 30 seconds. The last one was 60 seconds. And when I go back into the page, it is still counting down...)

Unfortunately, the behavior persists. Go into any member notice and you immediately see the banner at the top:
"There was an error saving your draft. Will try again in 30 seconds" and then a countdown. And then at 0, it repeats. I'm on a new(ish) Macbook Pro running updated Firefox. Tried it in safari and get same behavior. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones.
