I think the recent change to display the Feed page when logged in has also changed the default when accessing a particular group via <groupname>.groups.io - it sends the page to groups.io when not logged in, or the feed page when logged in. This means that for a new (not yet approved) member, the groups.io page or the feed page (if logged in) will show up instead of the <groupname> homepage if they enter the url <groupname>.groups.io. To get around this problem, the new potential member has to enter <groupname>.groups.io/g/main or groups.io/g/<groupname> to get to the correct homepage for that particular group in order to apply for membership.
I remember that we used to be able to access a group's homepage simply by typing in <groupname>.groups.io. For current members, it's not too much a problem, but for a potential member, they have no way to access the group's homepage unless they type the correct url (<groupname>.groups.io/g/main or groups.io/g/<groupname>).? Is this considered a bug to be reported?
Thank you.
