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: You can now claim pending subscribers.
CHANGE: Do not delete pending messages or pending subscriptions older
than 14 days if they've been claimed.

The primary purpose of claiming a pending subscriber is the same as that for claiming a pending message: to prevent another moderator from coincidentally approving or rejecting while you're still working on whether to approve or reject the pending member (or message). In both cases it disables approval (and rejection) by email, and causes a warning if an attempt is made by web.

As a secondary feature, it also protects the pending member (or message) from automatic deletion after 14 days.

BTW, you "claim" a pending message by clicking the Edit button. Even if you then cancel the edit, you've still claimed the message.


Comments about these are welcome:

INTERNAL: Work on automating a tool to test database backups.
INTERNAL: Generating a lot more config files automatically through
software, to make it easier to change configurations/add machines.
INTERNAL: Added ability to off-load queries to replica databases and
have started doing so to reduce the load on the main database.
BUGFIX: Event reminders did not include organizer name.
NEW: Including a login link in direct add notifications.
NEW: You can now invite someone to join a subgroup (they will be added
to the parent as well if they accept).

Please call out any you find significant.

Shal,

NEW: You can now invite someone to join a subgroup (they will be added
to the parent as well if they accept).

I've just been looking at this new feature.? I think previously, moderators of subgroups could only use the Direct Add feature (if they had permission) to add members of the main group to their subgroup. Allowing moderators of subgroups to invite members to a subgroup now gives them additional permissions over membership of the main group where they may only be a subscriber.? This goes against the principal of having those permissions in the first place.

Regards,
Andy
