What happens when a group’s member count is at its free limit, a member pays for a year’s worth of groups.io specifically to get into that group, and a week, a day, or an hour later the group

My mistake but in another situation with another group, something like that might happen if some groups had free slots left while other groups of the same nature didn't. Most people would look for the

Leeni, To me, the alternative (Mark's Pricing Changes alone) does not seem preferable: "I am going to do a search for kitty groups and maybe I can join one. Why should I have to wait around to see if

Leeni, I think that’s a slightly diffrent issue. People would be unable to join any group after it has reached its limit even under Mark’s proposal.it’s not a matter of paying to join the group

To add to that.......... "I am going to do a search for kitty groups and maybe I can join one for free. Why should I have to pay for XYZ Kitty group when there are others with probably many of the

And BTW, this happens all the time. It's one main way people find out about a lot of the cats groups. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. My humanity is

Glenn gets it right here. And imagine the confusion, if not anger. “I just joined the xyz kitties group, it’s great, highly recommended.” They post this within another group, and members of that

Thanks for the explanation, Mark. Sparked a few questions in GMF. The system still needs a little tweaking. See attached screenshot on what I get when the viewport is exactly 1239. Bruce

p.s. You think people don't talk to each other? At least in the cats groups world, and no doubt in other universes as well, people are always yabbing to each other about which group they just joined,

Wording does not solve this problem IMHO. It is what it is and everyone is going to find out what's really going on. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. My

It was an intentional change that went in yesterday, as part of my app work. Viewing the site on an iPad in portrait mode was not great, with the group sidebar taking up a sizeable chunk of display

J, Perhaps the gravity of the situation could be mitigated by the wording of the notice. It could say that unfortunately that group has no free slots available, but you can purchase a pass to join any

I just confirmed this bug by going into a group where I'm a mod but not an owner. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. My humanity is bound up in yours, for

A couple of days ago, my group logged an obviously spam attempted message from nonmember email address X. I immediately banned the address. This morning there was another log entry from the same

I've noticed today that my display flips to the mobile "hamburger" menus at a screen width below around 1237 pixels (100% zoom). Could have sworn that number was considerably lower not too long
