Currently there are almost 37500 publicly listed groups, and IIRC over 80.000 groups in total. I don't know how much work it will take, nor how feasible it is, but we do need ways to narrow things

This is also an attractive suggestion, not least because it is consistent in concept to an applicant's need to respond to a Confirmation Message and possibly a Pending Subscription Message. It is also

Maybe send a confirmation link to the new address, that they need to click on before before it is changed. I get irritated with two the field thing. I use software that auto fills my correct email.

Or (as an alternative) have a second "confirm new email address" box so that unless a typo is repeated in the second box the request is rejected. After all, this is a common enough method used widely

I have the same problem in my group. Many applicants try to join, but are deterred right from the start when they receieve the English confirmation email. Not everybody speaks English well enough to

I agree, maybe put up some confirmation notice when the email address field has been changed and Save gets clicked, a last chance before committing. Cheers, Christos

Ok, I want to turn this thread into a #suggestion. 1. In Find or Create a group, when someone enters a search term, don't eliminate the other criteria. Let the user still select between "Newest,"

I think I see what you're saying. You're both saying the search returns all the possible results, and then sorts them according to the actual group name with no consideration of (a) where the search

I'm still not making this clear. What is the search algorithm and why does it not take into account the categories "Newest," "Most Popular," and "Most Active" available on the left? If you enter a

Duane is right. When I search for "feline", the groups are sorted like: winn tanyackd petdiabetes nierenkranke-katze nhff . . . bengalcatrescue WholeCatHealthIO SpaceFrontiers . . . (They all have
