Christopher, I don't get this. Can you give me instances of a group that has members without names. I stress that should the mandatory option be available - I suggest it as an option - our group

I’m no database developer but un-defined fields could cause problems as they would be likely contain incompatible data from group to group, i.e. numbers, text, etc. Normally, when setting up field

I don't think that any of these can be mandatory. Not everyone has a title, a first name, or even a last name. -- Christopher W. <lists@...>

Mark; How about giving the Admin of a group the right to upgrade the home page? I understand people's reluctance to change something that they "see no value" but for those of us with groups where it

Will it be an option or mandatory? I still have the same reservations about the new page layout as when it was originally announced. Thanks, Duane

If it was just a mistake then no problem. At least we understand the discrepancy between the changelog and what actually changed. Hopefully the changes to the homepage and the Zoom integration can be

I think I've received a couple of "digests" containing only a single message in the past week.

I've seen the previous discussions on the hompage changes and the recent release and rollback of the zoom integration. I am still perplexed by the fact that these changes were included in the
