The only thing about "Unsubscribe" versus "Leave" is that someone might think "Unsubscribe" will turn off the mail messages without leaving the group. How about both? Unsubscribe (Leave Group): link_h

Can't access group after setting up a subgroup
#bug
Would it be realistic to create a subdomain immediately when a group gets created, for all groups, just in case they decide to create subgroups later? That way, it would already be there. JohnF

Any way to stop responses to a deleted thread?
It sounds like a "deleted" message shouldn't really be deleted, just hidden from everyone's point of view. Then it will still properly thread anything that's a reply to a deleted message. JohnF

I'd like to be able to delete the most recent edit
Because Delete usually implies poof, completely gone, we programmers prefer the word "Revert" when going back to a previous version. Would that be generally understandable? Delete This Message Revert
