Out of curiosity, what is the time threshold that determines whether notifications "lump together" in a single message or go out by themselves?

Steps to repro:

1) Upload a file, do not click notify members.
2) Used the update icon to rename the file
3) When doing 2), click Notify Members
4) Afterwards, no one gets a notification, including owners and moderators.

This has been fixed now.

Also, I have added `Notify Members` checkboxes to both the Rename Folder dialog as well as the Move File dialog.

Andy,

It's the same screen as you went into (main account - Login screen), but pressing Enter without doing anything, does nothing.  Whichever textbox (email address, password, or alias address) has to have the focus as if you're typing in it, and if you press Enter then, it will do whichever action (change email address, change pwd, or add an alias)

A. If you click on the alias box, don't type anything, and press Enter, nothing happens and the screen refreshes.

B. If you click on the password textbox, if you press enter it will go ahead and change the password (or give you an error if nothing is typed in it and you press Enter)

C. If you click on the email address textbox, if you press enter without typign anything, you get an error the "new" address is the same as the old one.  If you do type a different address and press Enter, it does the same thing as if clicking on the "Change Email" button except it will not display the confirmation dialog.

Cheers,
Christos

Hi folks,

This caught me by surprise momentarily but I was changing email addresses on a few test accounts and on one of them without thinking I pressed Enter instead of clicking on the "Change Email" button.  The "Verify Email Change" confirmation dialog did not come up and the page went directly to the "Your login has expired. Please login again" page.  There's nothing in the manual about pressing Enter.  I guess pressing Enter should behave the same as clicking the button?

Cheers,
Christos

The File Notifications section of your Subscription says "How to be notified when a folder is modified or file is uploaded." [italics added] There is no mention of a notification associated with the Update File activity.

Glenn -- The File Notifications section of your Subscription says "How to be notified when a folder is modified or file is uploaded." [italics added] There is no mention of a notification associated with the Update File activity.

Do you wish to add this as a new notification, or remove the checkbox from the Update File dialog?

I want to suggest (but not proven) that this behavior is random, and might not be related to whether or not the initial upload had a notification.

For the last week or two I have been working on writing up a similar problem.  I have seen a number of file uploads, updates, and deletions that do not send the Moderators any notification.  MY suspicion is that there are 'holes' in what the servers do, and integrity is not being maintained by the servers.  It is troubling.  Your case might be just one example of this.

My expectation agrees with yours, Glenn.  My suspicion is that the cause might be random, not related to the initial upload; but that would be an interesting thing to investigate too (if only I had a lot more time).  Whatever is going on, I can confirm that a number of file actions did not send a notice to Moderators.  I even had a case where I received a moderator notice that a file was deleted, but no moderator notice that it had been uploaded.

Changes to the site this week:

October 22, 2021:

• BUGFIX: When merging two accounts, if both accounts had subscriptions to the same group, an activity log message was not generated for that group showing the email address change. Discussion
• BUGFIX: In the Topic Properties page, in the App, the hashtag selector did not work properly. Discussion
• DOCS: Updates from Nina. Owners Manual Revision History.

October 21, 2021:

• CHANGE: Microsoft emailers will sometimes encode an attachment filename improperly, causing the resulting decoded filename to include Unicode replacement characters. We now detect that and use an alternative header to get the correct filename.
• BUGFIX: When downloading some attachments with UTF-8 encoded file names, the saved file name ended up being the encoded version, not the decoded version.
• INTERNAL: Upgrade jQuery to 1.12.4.

October 20, 2021:

• BUGFIX: For some groups with many files, the export group process would timeout generating the export archive, causing the export process to fail.
• BUGFIX: Do not display the group Sponsorship button in the app. Discussion
• CHANGE: Some Microsoft emails have quoted printable HTML parts that contain unicode characters that cause our quoted printable reader to error out when decoding the message. These unicode characters are when the message contains parts in a different language than the rest of the email (ZH-CN in one specific example). We now strip out these extra unicode characters so that the rest of the message can be decoded.

October 19, 2021:

• BUGFIX: Email replying to a message from a topic that has been split sometimes would incorrectly create a new topic. Discussion

October 18, 2021:

• BUGFIX: Members with Override: not moderated posting status should be allowed to post attachments regardless of the group setting. Discussion

The next #changelog will be sent on Friday, October 29nd.

Take care everyone.

Mark

I started creating a group and used an initial address (eg: xxx@groups.io). When it flagged that address as invalid, I changed it to another (eg: yyy@groups.io).

When inviting people, the invite message they received used the correct (yyy@groups.io) address. However, upon acceptance, the confirmation email they received (ie: "you're in!") used the original address (xxx@groups.io). Very confusing!

It looks like you created a group and then changed the name of the group. When a group is created, a welcome message for the group is also created. When the group name is changed, we don't update the welcome message, because it might have been changed. I believe that's what happened here. You can change the welcome message by going to Settings under Admin and then clicking the Member Notices button.

I'm open to changing the behavior so that if the group name is changed, that we also redo the welcome message with the new name/email. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Mark
