Hi all,

The last two weeks' change logs:



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 create files in the Files section that are links to
Google Docs/Dropbox/Box/OneDrive documents.

Yay! Now for photos in the Photo section that links to Google Photos / Flickr / and similar services. And Albums that are links to Albums on those services!


Comments about these others are also welcome:

-07-24

BUGFIX: Fixed sorting of Files section search results.
INTERNAL: More work converting templates to quicktemplate.
UPDATE: Owners and Members manuals updates from Nina.
SYSADMIN: Upgraded the machine instance dedicated to virus scanning.
NEW: If your position on an event waitlist changes, you will be
notified by email.
NEW: You can select either a grid or list display when viewing event
rsvps.
NEW: Moderators and the event owner can now manage RSVPs, changing
them to Attending/Not Attending/Not Sure. These changes are logged
in the activity log.
CHANGE: If you are on the waitlist for an event, change your RSVP to
no or not sure, and then change back to attending, you're put at the
back of the waitlist.
NEW: When someone is moved off the waitlist, it is logged in the
activity log.
BUGFIX: Fixed several issues with ICS file generation, especially
around UTF-8 conversion. Also stopped stripping out ':' characters,
because the other fixes addressed the original issue with ':'.

-07-31

CHANGE: When emailing RSVP responders, default the From line to the
person sending it (it would normally default to +owner if a mod was
sending the message).
CHANGE: Exporting event RSVP responses now returns a CSV file,
containing all responses.
DOCS: Updates from Nina and beta of the new Getting Started Guide for
Owners.
NEW: Enterprise groups can set the logo used for web push
notifications.
NEW: When you RSVP yes to an event (and are not waitlisted), you will
get an email notification.
CHANGE: Only display RSVP additional information fields for
moderators / event owners.
CHANGE: Consolidated some RSVP notification messages.
NEW: When a moderator/event owner changes an RSVP, a notification is
sent to the person.
CHANGE: Changed help wording of RSVP yes message when creating an
event.
CHANGE: Locking a topic that contains a poll now also now closes the
poll.
INTERNAL: Optimized the code for converting an HTML string to plain
text to deal with some pathologically large style blocks we
encountered in an uploaded file, which was causing exceptionally
long runtimes and timeouts.
CHANGE: Changed terminology from maybe to not sure for event RSVPs.
BUGFIX: Don't send out a yes message email to someone RSVPing to an
event if there is no yes message.
BUGFIX: Fixed links in Files search results.

Please call out any you find significant.

This feature is okay, but I'm not exactly thrilled by it. You could already put such links anywhere in your group that supports hyperlinks (the wiki, home page, even messages).

I mostly see this as leading to a series of broken links as the destination files are deleted. As webmaster for several organizations, dead links are the bane of my existence. :-)

CHANGE: Locking a topic that contains a poll now also now closes the poll.

This change definitely strikes me as a step backward. I see no reason why we shouldn't be able to close a topic and still allow the vote to proceed. In fact, Robert's Rules requires that discussion be closed before a vote is taken. That's going to be difficult to enforce without separate controls.

Regards,
Bruce?

Mark now reports that this change has been rolled back (ref:?).

Nice to have someone on the other end who actually listens and responds.

FYI,
Bruce

I currently have three (3) open polls running in my group, and did not lock them when I created them to prevent email replies (as I always use to do), because recently on a previous poll when I did so, I noticed no one could vote.? So to keep me unconfused, I can now confidently lock the current open polls and they will remain open for voting but not eligible for replies which is what I wish?

Steve -- It's my understanding that the change has been reverted and polls and topics should behave as they did previously. Try it and see.

If you have any active polls that were closed by Mark's change earlier this week you may find it necessary to reopen them. This can be done by selecting Edit Poll from the More menu, followed by clicking on the Reopen Poll button.
