I'm owner/admin of a free legacy group that I started a few years ago. I recently started experiencing a strange problem when trying to manage the group using my iPad. When I log in, my group shows me as an ordinary member & there is no Admin area shown (yes, I am logged in with the correct username & password). I have the same problem in both Firefox or Safari. Clearing the history in either browser and logging out and back in does not correct the problem.

When I first ran into this, I noticed the option on my group's home page asking me if I "Wanted to Join". I clicked on that and then it indicated that I was a member. At that point I received a new member welcome message. I also received a message on my phone (as Admin) showing my username as a "new subscriber" that had just joined my own group!

While logged in on my PC or Android phone, everything looks normal as a group owner. I have access to the usual Admin functions, but my username now shows up under "Members" as a "New Member Moderated". I'm afraid to delete this, or even log out on my phone or PC, as I'm concerned that I might become locked out of my group as owner/admin.
