Groups.io site updates #changelog


 
Edited

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.


NEW: When a user changes their email address to an address taken by an
account with no subs (or subbed just to updates@), we now let them
take over that email address.
This might in some circumstances help with individuals who by accident, or by transfer from Yahoo Groups, end up subscribed to groups under more than one email address but would prefer to use only one. They still can't directly merge those accounts, but at least they now can move valuable memberships (ones that would be hard to re-subscribe, or where you don't want to lose content control) to the preferred address; even if at the cost of first unsubscribing all the other memberships tied to the preferred address.


NEW: 'All Posts By This Member' in group profile pages.
Nice. I like not having to track down one of their messages first.


NEW: Moderators can now edit members' signatures.
Important phrase missing: "In Premium groups ...". Also other caveats:

CHANGE: More updates to the Yahoo Group transfer process after I
learned that many groups do not accept -subscribe email requests.
Those would be what were called "Closed" groups in classic, in Neo that's "By invitation only" in the Who can Join selector of the Group Settings tab of the Control Panel.


Comments about these others are also welcome:

CHANGE: Removed the list of public subgroups from the group home page,
as it's a duplicate of what is shown in the Subgroups tab (which
also has a better display of them).
CHANGE: Added more 'Sent from my ' lines to automatically strip.
SYSADMIN: Upgraded the second web server for more capacity.
SYSADMIN: Moved one of the two Groups.io DNS servers to a different
data center, for redundancy in case our main data center goes
off-line.
INTERNAL: Moved the final part of the system, messages to karld, off
the Redis-based queue and onto a nsq-based queue.
BUGFIX: I mispeled the word committed in several places.
SYSADMIN: Upgraded the backup database instance to double the
memory/disk because we ran out of disk.
BUGFIX: There was a deadlock when two users viewed the same group
calendar at the same time.
BUGFIX: Editing one event in a repeating event series created extra
events.
NEW: When a user changes their email address to an address taken by an
account with no subs (or subbed just to updates@), we now let them
take over that email address.

Please call out any you find significant.
