Hi All, Because of the 4th of July holiday here in the US this week, there will be no Site Updates email on Friday. Also, support response will be slower the rest of the week. Things will be back to

A locked group is read-only. If you try to send an email to it, you get back a generic bounce message saying the group is locked. You can create a locked group member notice, and that will be sent out

Test messages are not appropriate for beta@. Thanks, Mark

I would like to add to this list of needed search options. At least in our group, the ability to "Include subgroups" in a search from the main group would be extremely helpful. Or, is there already a

I am a screen reader user of groups.io and I love the service! In fact, it is very popular with the blind and the visually impaired. While the site is very usable, there are some edit fields that are

And I'd bet that by the time this new code is needed, it will have become dusty! ;>) Thanks, Duane

Hi All, As I discovered early this morning, the site rollback didn't restart some cron jobs. This meant that event reminders and some digests were delayed, and summaries did not go out for 4 hours.

Unplanned downtime #outage When: Monday, 2 July 2018 9:00pm to 9:05pm (GMT-07:00) America/Los Angeles Description: An update to the site went badly, and I had to revert the changes. The site was

It's akin to the sticky wiki, but emailed to the group. In fact, that's where the idea arose. I wanted to call members' attention to the sticky wiki, but realized that many of them aren't logged in to

What's wrong with that is that a large percentage of group members access the group only by email and are not logged in, so they couldn't access the link. It doesn't actually result in any

Sorry, but I can't see supporting that idea. Sending out a copy of Wiki page(s) results in a static document which goes against the idea of a Wiki as a living document. What is wrong with sending out

Please elaborate what you mean by that should be optional. I can imagine situations in which a poll doesn't close at all :-)

Hello Mark, Could say more about the functionality for mention a member to a topic/message with @displayname. To the configuration page it's important to add "Allow to be mention" or "Send a email

It would be convenient to be able to click on a wiki page and have its content go out as a message to the group. -- J   Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. I

That was my original point. :-) -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. I wish I could shut up, but I can't, and I won't. - Desmond Tutu

Agreed. I want them there, too. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. I wish I could shut up, but I can't, and I won't. - Desmond Tutu
