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

Another incompehensible example: this group 1 Member, 1 Topic, Public Archive, Last Post: Mar 14 displays nearly at the top of the list. Whereas my group, with hundreds of members, thousands of

Mornin' Mark, A situation has come up that we'd like some clarification on. A group owner (OwnerA) passed away, so another owner (OwnerB) is in charge. OwnerA had paid for the year to get the

For example, a group without the word "feline" in the title (upper or lower case), with these stats "32 Members, 6 Topics, Private Archive, Restricted, Last Post: Sep 10" now displays third. Whereas

...what the algorithm is. If it's just Elastisearch, then that implies there's nothing about group population, creation date, last activity date, etc. And that seems wrong. -- J Messages are the

Thanks but I still don't understand the example. Hopefully Mark will explain. It seems that my group is appearing lower and lower in the ordering (and is now on page 2) for groups containing the word

It was a hypothetical example. If all of the group descriptions contained the word FUN, and those were the only groups that did, that's the order they'd show up, top to bottom. It would include the

Duane, No comprendo. What’s the search term in that? And is that display top to bottom? Are you saying that if the search term is “balloon,” then groups with balloon capitalized in their name

I believe the default is descending lower case, followed by descending upper case, according to group name. For example: water balloon Water Balloon Duane

Mark, In "Find or Create a Group," if you enter a search term, what is the algorithm for the display order? I can't discern any pattern. Thanks. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author,

This would work for me, too...and already exists for bulk deletion of drafts from the Drafts tab. Bruce

It is currently possible to share your profile without populating Display Name. I am proposing a change to eliminate that, forcing the person to populate it before sharing the profile with

An "Are you sure?" gate protects against fat brains as well as fat fingers, which is a bigger problem for me than fat fingers. Best, Marv

If Display Name is not set, would the member not appear in the Directory? If that's the case, what name would be displayed in a posting by that member? The current mechanism uses the email frag as a

Adding a line space or two at end of each individual email message as it goes out, before footer. Will make it easier to read message.
