This may be related: ever since this started happening, 100% of my bcc's to myself of private replies have had the warning "This looks like spam" and asked me to check "spam" or "looks safe."100%. Not one has made it through to me (I use gmail) without the warning. I always mark them "looks safe" but that hasn't stopped the behavior.

Hi All, Just a quick note that, somehow, I've ended up with a very busy end-of-year, with a bunch of travel and family stuff starting now and going through the end of December. Also, I have some technical debt that needs to be addressed within the system (that means parts of the site that need internal updates or fixes, without necessarily adding new features). I've already started on that this week, with the upgrade of the Fullcalendar code (that's the open source software that I use to display the calendar on the website). Finally, I also need to take some vacation. So, I won't be as responsive as normal during this time, and responses to emails to support may occasionally be delayed. The next #changelog will be published on Friday, January 7th, 2022. I hope you and yours have a good holiday season. And thank you for using Groups.io! Cheers,

Hi Mark,
when viewing a calendar in List format, if the number of events makes the list scrollable then they overlay the date header as you scroll down the list.  Regards Andy

Beat me to it, I had this in my drafts as I was going to submit it.
The problem is that while the Search button uses (the page?) default of CreatedDESC, the URLs for the buttons have the CreatedASC sort hardcoded: <group>/activity?p=,???,,0,1,0,0 I think changing the 1 to 0 will inherit the "page default" of CreatedDESC, if that's how that works, instead of setting it to 2, force it to CreatedDESC. Cheers, Christos

I was just commenting because the way you put it struck me funny. :-)

I don’t use Meege any more because the email threads stay separate and people keep replying to both. Merging was becoming Sisyphysean (sp). BTW if you don’t like the appendages, you can set your entire group to MF so that any new topics are automatically moderated (just like in beta), allowing you to fix the title before the message even goes through.

I have come to "love" (?) the Merge function. We have some members in our group whose replies come with extra appendages in the Subject line, and this causes them to be separate Topics in the group. I prefer keeping them together, so that anyone can read one Topic and see the whole thread in one place, rather than scattered and difficult to follow.

It can be more than annoying. People may not realize at first that the order switched. Even now, though I realize what’s happening (and some mods might not), it’s always a slight shock to see messages I that don’t belong (look weird and unexpected) at the top, and takes me a few seconds to get my bearings and click on “created.” And also, if clicking on a column is what causes the reversal, you would expect it to reverse by clicking on another column. But it doesn’t. It just stays that way ad Infinitum.

I think I reported this some time back. It's annoying and happens in the iOS app as well.

I have had a few instances where the "Merge Topic" function behaved oddly, like it should not do.
Just now, I used it, and there was no pop-up dialog at the last step asking for confirmation. It just went ahead and merged the topics after I chose the "Merge into" topic. (As it happens, I was hoping to see that dialog box this time, so that I could verify that I had selected the right two topics to merge.) A week or two ago, I had two cases where I changed my mind and chose "Cancel Merge" before the second step. But the merge sequence didn't cancel. I was able to complete the merge without re-initiating it, just by selecting a "Merge Into". IIRC, this happened twice; but when I try it again, then or now, it doesn't happen anymore. So it is erratic. Andy
