Is it just me, or does anyone else find the new school 2ndary menu annoying vs the old, perfectly functional Hamburger Menu?

What hamburger menu? where is it?

The only hamburger menu I have found looks just the same as it did before

Or are you using a phone?

Here is the new, improved, 2ndary menu vs. the good old Hamburger menu that was on the far right (which of course, I can no longer screenshot.)

Okay I understand now, I have never ever composed a message on the website or replied from there, hence my lack of recognising what you were describing

Having had no experience of the old, I can't comment on the new

@Nivard

Are you saying you always compose/reply via email? ?It’s on the mobile App as well

In four years using groups.io I have never to the best of my knowledge ever replied or composed via the website or the app which I don't use, on the rare occasions I need to access the site on my phone I use a browser, I have always replied/composed using email and can't see a time when I would do otherwise

Yeah, that had me scratching my head for a few minutes, too (I was looking for the "Clear Formatting" icon recently and couldn't find it). The old composition window would drop a few icons if the screen was too narrow, and on that basis Mark may have felt having this on the left would be better. But that's just my own speculation.?

It wouldn't be so clunky if the ?... menu board stayed visible, but it disappearing is a RPITA, IMO.?

I do both. This reply is online via the Group website because I receive Daily Digests from this particular group. For all other groups which I am more closely involved with, I receive individual messages and respond accordingly using my email client (Thunderbird). Best of both worlds. I confess I hadn't noticed the change from hamburger to dots - a non-issue?

Bruce et al.,

I don't see this modified hamburger menu when I am in compose on any of my groups, either as a member or as an Owner/Moderator. But I suspect that is because I have my GIO groups all set for me as text only, in which case the only icon I see online in the top border of any New Message is the one for attachments.

Actually I CAN see that new menu icon [ … ] but ONLY in …

Admin > Preferences > Settings > (compose) Group Message,

...in the top border of the Group Message compose window.

So therein must lie much of the reason that some folks cannot see the revised hamburger manu.

OK — HTH

I went to paste in, clean up and post our newsletter from the website (FireFox). I found the new placement of the hamburger icon but it will no longer stay open while I'm editing which requires many more keystrokes per correction. That sucks.? Maybe I can't find it but what happen to the do-over/back up arrow?
If keeping the 2nd toolbar open option was removed, please restore it back along with the back up arrow.
Thanks,

For those you'd need to make suggestions on the .? No one from groups.io management monitors here.

The keyboard equivalent of that (undo, Ctrl+Z) still works, so that's one way you can get around the lack of that button.

I don't THINK so - I believe that the ... menu (on the left) still disappears when in portrait orientation.

So far, I have been unable to make this icon disappear. If you're seeing it go away just switching from portrait to landscape, that seems like a bug.

I assume you're using the phone app? Which one? If not, what browser/device??

Please note that if the group is set to Plain Text only, many of the icons will go missing, not just the ellipsis.

Bruce

See below, on my iPhone X, iOS app, Icons available in portrait vs landscape mode.

Also, my experience is that for all icons to be available on narrow screens, one must be in landscape before opening the app. ?Simply rotating doesn't work. ?
On wider (pad) screens all icons are available in portrait mode.?

Portrait:



Landscape:

If you haven't already, I suggest reporting this in beta; I doubt Mark knows about it. Be sure to specify you're using the iOS app.
