Re: Publicly Listed Groups results
#bug
Hi Duane, On Fri, Nov 6, 2020 at 8:07 AM Duane <txpigeon@...> wrote: When paging through the results of the various views in the groups directory, there comes a point when it won't show the next page. It always happens when crossing over the 10,000 results line. As an example, if I go to https://groups.io/search?p=SubsCount,,,20,2,9980,0, all works fine. When I scroll to the bottom and use the right arrow to go to page 501, there are no results shown, even though it (currently) says 10001 - 10020 of 32031 and the URL shows https://groups.io/search?p=SubsCount,,,20,2,10000,0. I suspect it's when the results get into the 5 digit range. Probably not something many people will do, but it's a bit irritating when I'm playing with search parameters there. ;>) I didn't know this until now, but it's apparently tricky to pull more than 10,000 results out of Elasticsearch, the search software that we use. To fix, I'd have to do some research into the issue. Is this something that you're coming up against a lot? Thanks, Mark

Remove Reply and New Topic Links in footer of Announcement-Only Group messages
#suggestion
Since only moderators can post in Announcement-Only groups, I suggest removing the Reply To and New Topic links from the footer of email messages for these groups. Of course members could still use their email client's reply function, but this would remove a bit of confusion for Announcement-Only Groups.
In the GMF topic on this subject, Shal also suggested: [...] perhaps include the refinement that the exclusion of those links should only apply to messages sent to members with the Role of Member (rather than Moderator or Owner).Thank you.

Re: Member Directory Search fails if member name is an email address

I believe this is a GOOD design feature.
Just my opinion. Ken

It shouldn't do this, although if we have a problem resizing the photo for whatever reason (if we can't recognize the format, if we run out of memory somehow, if there's another bug), that could happen.

There was a bug. Chris's preference is set to military time display. When viewing/editing a row with a time column, we were ignoring that preference and showing the time in standard format. That caused a problem when someone tried to edit a row, leading to a blank column. It has been fixed. Thanks, Mark

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? If we're doing something wrong then please let me know! Thanks, Chris

Member Directory Search fails if member name is an email address
#bug
Terry Slattery
The member directory search function fails to find a match when the member name in the directory is an email address and the person doing the search is not a moderator. It failed for both partial match and full match. Searching with a partial name as a moderator works.
Summary: Login as a regular member (tcs1026@...), individually searching for 'tcs' or 'tcs21026' or 'tcs@1026@...' returned zero hits. Searching for 'Slattery' returned one hit: 'Terry Slattery'. I found this to be the case for anyone whose Directory name is an email address. Login as moderator, searching for 'tcs' returned two hits: 'Terry Slattery' and 'tcs1026@...'.

Photo processing
#bug
I noticed today that it doesn't appear that photos are being resized properly when uploaded. Best I can tell, the uploaded photo is stored at the original size and the displayed photo for editing is shown according to what is chosen in the "Max Size In Photos Section" setting. I remember that something like this is done with photos in messages, but shouldn't be happening when uploaded to an album. One of my groups is quickly chewing up storage space because of this. I've begun downloading to resize locally for re-uploading, but if the setting were honored when they were initially uploaded, it would save me some work.
As an example, I downloaded one photo that was stored at 1536x2048 and 1.28MB (group is set to resize to 312x312). On the edit page, it shows the image info as "1,536px × 2,048px (scaled to 240px × 320px)" and Size as "1,318.16 KB". When I manually resize it using GIMP, it becomes 234x312 and 60.8KB. I'm not sure when this started. I'm not even sure it's consistent since the ones I see that are too large aren't necessarily just recent ones. Thanks, Duane

Re: Mail server reverse DNS still flakey
#bug
Sorry, I missed the Gmail indication and actually thought it looked like a spoof attempt. If you're using G Suite and Proofpoint email proxy services, then this is not a normal situation at all. That said, line 3 certainly seems to indicate lb01 was unable to retrieve RDNS for 148.163.139.74 at the time of that transaction. I am also wondering if you're saying this is all from one transaction because it looks like several? --

ps We have a similar issue. We set the display name to their first name plus their cats name, and sometimes it mysteriously changes.

Re: Display name change by member not captured in Activity Log

Sometimes they change their groups.io account display name, which may not be logged as a group action. The whole display-name logging issue has been revisited a few times, and I don't remember what stage it's at but I think that was my conclusion at some point.

Re: Mail server reverse DNS still flakey

No, the problem persists as of 10 minutes ago. I can send email from the same account to dozens of other destinations, without any difficulty - it's only groups.io that fails. It's indeed Proofpoint, a very large email security company used by lots of large organizations (https://www.proofpoint.com/us/products/email-protection). If there was a larger problem, thousands of employees at my organization would quickly complain...

Display name change by member not captured in Activity Log
#bug
Hi Mark,
I noticed a message from one of our members where the display name was set to their email address. It's our policy that the display name is set to their real name and I do this as I Direct Add new members. I can see messages posted from this member in July where the display name was set but there is no indication on the log that it was changed to the email address. I have now reset this and the log shows my change. Regards Andy

May want to condense the confirmation emails.
#suggestion
Due to use of smartphones to read email, a lot of people nowadays only see (and therefore only act on) the first paragraph of an email.
Might be good to condense the text in the confirmation emails.
The wording is excellent, but there are four blank lines.
Perhaps using line breaks instead of blank lines...
BTW, the process of upgrading from our legacy Basic account to Premium was easy and clear -- a single line rather than a huge form. Well done.
