Groups.io site updates #changelog


 

Hi all,

This week's change log:


Feel free to reply to this topic if you'd like to comment on the
changes. Or better yet, if you expect a lot of discussion start a new
topic (or rejoin an existing one) about a specific change.


CHANGE: Updated the Members Manual with changes on Wiki page URLs.
CHANGE: Wiki pages now use the wiki page ID instead of the title (with
exceptions for _Sidebar/_Footer) to prevent link breakage when
titles change.
Yay! I much prefer the shorter URLs, and the fact that we won't have to chase broken links (going forward).

The posting about in beta mentioned that the existing Title-based URLs will be forwarded, so this doesn't break existing links nor does it require a sweep through the wiki to update cross-page links.


NEW: When a person is banned from Groups.io, we now log that in all
groups they were a member of, and we remove all subscription data
instead of just hiding it, which should keep sub counts correct.
Good. This will hopefully eliminate the mystery "what happened to that member" that sometimes cropped up when tracing a member through the Activity log.


Comments about these others are also welcome:

CHANGE: Allow background and mso-highlight CSS styles in messages.
CHANGE: Various icon changes for more consistency.
BUGFIX: The sending of a new confirmation email by a moderator using
the 'Send Confirmation Email' button was not logged properly in the
email delivery section.
NEW: Logging to the activity log when we send the group guidelines out
and when we send monthly reminder messages out.
INTERNAL: Optimized a database call when generating digests.
BUGFIX: Don't include links to profiles of banned members when viewing
messages.
CHANGE: When visiting a manual in the help center, display the table
of contents.
INTERNAL: A lot of work to enable distributed tracing of the internal
systems.

Please call out any you find significant.

Shal
