This is a small thing but, as a new groups.io manager, just something I haven't yet come across. ?I've seen referenced here in the GMF a "beta group" but I'm not clear whether group owners have access to that (or should/shouldn't have access) or where it is? Did see a "public beta" group but with fewer than 70 members so I'm guessing that's not it.

The real question behind the above is how we make platform suggestions if those are wanted/valued? ?Maybe just here on the GMF and Shal or Bruce decide whether to send on to Mark?

My small thing which prompted this has to do with navigating a group membership list. More specifically, when looking at "Members" for a group, at lower right are the page numbers and obvious how one can click on whatever page or click through them to see the entirety of a list. ?But, to the left and right of a small range (maybe 5-8) page number options are single arrows which, if clicked, move one page left or right. ?I'd love to suggest the inclusion of double arrows at left and right of those single arrows to speed navigation. ?Clicking on one of those would bring you to the first or last page of a membership list versus just one page left or right. ?Screenshot attached.?

Barry,

I've seen referenced here in the GMF a "beta group" but I'm not clear
whether group owners have access to that (or should/shouldn't have
access) or where it is?

It has unrestricted membership and public archives, much like GMF.

The real question behind the above is how we make platform suggestions
if those are wanted/valued?

Beta is the official "suggestion box" for proposing & discussing improvements to Groups.io as a service. They are wanted and valued.

Hi Barry,

This is not a precise answer to your question here, but I hope it offers you some partial workarounds in lieu of the double arrows you suggested, so . . .

While at your groups.io group site:

Click on the 'Messages' button in the L sidebar and then choose 'topics' from the options at the top of the message page.

Once the messages are displayed as a list of topics you can then click on the blue 'Date' link near the top right to reverse the order of display of the messages. This lets you toggle the oldest posts, so that they display at the top of the list (just below any pinned messages) or back again to newest first.

Then you can use the forward page arrow buttons to navigate back towards the newer messages.

I believe one other way to go about locating an older post is to know its message number or guess its approximate number and then navigate with the singel arrows near the top of the list.

And one further way is on the Homepage of a group: Near the bottom is a grid showing the number of messages in each month of every year that the group has been in existence. That month's number is a link which will take you to the first message in that month.

Fiddle around a bit with these several suggestions and you should be able to navigate to the message(s) you want fairly easily.

OK — HTH

Thanks so much for this, Paul. ?Good ideas/workarounds all. ?As I'm a new group, this challenge with respect to topic queuing isn't yet an issue but likely will be in relatively short order. ?For us, it came up due to member sorting. ?Namely, moving between the roughly 14 pages (20 members shown per page) is a fairly manual process. The date-solution analog here could be the "Applied" column at far right in "Members" view which allows you to jump to first member joined or most-recent member joined by toggling the Date header. But that isn't so helpful when 95% of your members were all migrated on the same date. ?I've submitted this to the beta group. Not sure if it'll be seen or considered since Mark is on vacation and, as my first beta submission, I'm not sure how many realistically get acted upon.

On your own Account, under Preferences, you can change that to 50 or 100 items per page.? Infinite scroll is also an option, but doesn't work on some pages, such as databases.? I haven't tried it on the Members page.
