Re: What is my "profile" exactly? If set to "public" how can I see what the public version looks like?

The page at:

Yes.

[BTW, no need to click HOME before going to /myname/.]

Many pages on Groups.io either do not have titles or do not have titles that reflect which page it is. (In this comment of mine, "title" can mean both/either the text that appears in the taskbar or in the window bar and/or some sort of heading near the top of the page itself.) Breadcrumbs are also broken on many pages.

To fix this, I imagine each instance should be reported individually to the bug tracking system.

The bug tracking system at this time, I believe, is simply to send an e-mail to [email protected] (no further instructions are given on how to report bugs, except that the bug report should be well-formed). I'm not sure if users who submit bugs, can follow their progress, but I know of no way that *other* users can.

It also doesn't tell you whether you're editing the "Account Profile" (really the Global Account Profile defaults), or the account profile for a specific group.
Yes.

The only way that a user can know where he is is if he knows how the global setting's page differs from the group-specific settings pages.

1. The global page has this warning near the top: 'Changes made to this profile will also be made to each group profile, with the exception of those fields that you have previously customized in each group profile. To edit those customized fields please go to the specific group profile and click "edit".'

2. On the global page, you can change your user name (the @name).

Of course, this is only a problem for users who open links in multiple tabs simultaneously or who use browsers where pressing the back button and then the forward button again deletes content previously entered.

Also, if editing the account profile for a specific group, there should be a link to the very nice page you pointed me to.
Yes, I fully agree.

RFEs should be posted to the beta list... but not right now. Due to the Yahoogroups thing, the beta list is temporarily closed for non-transfer related discussions until about the end of the year (see ). We should remember to revisit the issue after that.
