Frances, I don't think your response is correct. What Linda described is exactly what happens when a logged-in group member attempts to go to the join link. The screen flashes for a moment and then redirects the user to the group home page.?
?
This happens even if the?logged-in group member manually enters the full url to the join link into the browser's search bar.
Linda, if you are logged in as a group member (or perhaps just have an automatic login cookie set) and want to test the join facility, you must do it from an incognito (anonymous) browser window.
Part of my #suggestion to the beta group was that if the person accessing the join link is currently logged in as a group member, a dialog should come up saying "You are already a group member" with an OK to dismiss.
