This is one item that will NOT be in accordance with the new GDPR
regulations to come into force in Europe later this week. Members
photos are personal data and can only be displayed with their specific
permission.

Mark,

I like the use of the term "currently."  It gives me hope you can do your magic and make it happen at some point.  :) 

Peace,

When you now create a poll or RSVP, there is no automatic messaging to the poll or RSVP creator that new votes/RSVPs  have been entered by members.

It would be great if at least once daily the creator of an RSVP event was advised of a new tally of replies. I deal with a group of guys who want to use RSVPs, but are afraid there is too much work involved in them to use successfully. 

While the above would help the person who is waiting for a reply count, it would also be great if the  An RSVP is requested. Click here to RSVP.
was larger, or in a colored  checkbox.  It's better than it was before Click here to RSVP was added, but making it more visible would help.

Is there a way for moderators to upload/store profile pictures in member's profiles?  I've looked and searched and can find nothing on the topic.  We have a group which includes some technically non-savvy members and would like to have the moderators be able to help them do this.  (It's better than waiting until their grandkids are around to help them.)

Wouldn't it be best if every user could make their own list-order? My priorities probably are different from someone else's

The features listed on the Pricing page are just topics, several of which are not self-explanatory, especially for new users thinking about creating a group.

Suggest that each feature have a link / pop up / tool tip that displays an explanation of the feature, benefits, why you would want that feature, etc...

Hi Gang

With about 20 groups and another dozen on the horizon, it's time this menu got some admin ability to customise the priority/ importance/ reluctance quotient and order of groups displayed.
Examples:
1- dont want 'file groups' mixed in with social
2- dont want near dead groups high in list
3- want major interests and high volume ones at top
4- owner/ mod privileges given priority
 etc.

Thanks

Ladies,
Isn't it already there as 'Send as a Special Message' ?

Absolutely Michael
This would (perhaps) cut down on clutter AND give more precise information.
Unfortunately some groups that haven't joined the 21st C yet persist in 'non attachment' mode as a form of security for the benefit of members.
I'll address that elsewhere tho,

Donald,

Can Mbox files be opened and sorted by groups somehow, or just extract
group 1 files, then group 2, and so on?

With Thunderbird I'm sure I could filter or sort them by the To: address or the group subject tag. And then copy or move them into other folders group by group.

With other mbox readers that might depend on its capabilities; but I think it is likely that any full email client application (OE, Forte, and others) could do this as well.

I keep my messages separated also in different email folders and use
rules to route the group posts to their respective folders.

Gerald,

... it would be nice if there were a group specific option to do the
export. As an alternate solution, the messages could be split out by
group in the full account download.

I agree with both solutions.

The first because I was surprised that the button directly launched the export -- I was expecting to see at least a confirmation page, but a page with checkboxes to select the primary group(s) and subgroup(s) would be even better.

I suspect that others may have been surprised as well, leading to more exports than were actually intended and downloaded.

Changes to the site this week:

• SYSADMIN: Upgraded the mail email sending machine.
• BUGFIX: When parsing an emoji (":emojiname:") that doesn't exist, the trailing colon would disappear.
• NEW: Timestamps are included in activity log exports.
• NEW: You can export all of your account data.
• BUGFIX: HTML special characters in calendar descriptions were not properly escaped in generated ICS files.
• NEW: You can export the activity log now as part of the export group process, and exports are now logged.
• INTERNAL: Increased nsqd message size limits for large export group archives.

Have a good weekend everybody.

Is it possible to change the images size on the Facebook integration?

I suspect you're not getting much "love" for this because the Facebook integration isn't used all that much. But if I understand correctly, all it does is repost things from Facebook to the group as a new message.

It's also my understanding that all embedded images are rescaled to 640px in the long dimension. Image attachments can be rescaled using group settings (Admin->Settings->Max Size in Email).

What you're showing looks like it was cropped, not rescaled. Does the image continue to the right (and down) but you couldn't include it all in one screenshot? I also don't know what you mean by "images posted to or from a link."

Anyway, I suggest you check the same message online and report back what you find. If it's still too big, try playing with the existing photo settings and see if that remedies your problem. I personally have my group set up so all photos are rescaled to 1024px. This should be more than adequate for viewing online...or in email.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

P.S. Those who have a real need to share print-quality images can always upload their files to cloud storage and post a link instead.

No love for my suggestion? :-(
