Barry, a screenshot might be helpful in clarifying your question. Are you saying that the Home, Guidelines, Subscription, Messages, etc. links that normally appear on the left side of the GIO group web page aren't visible?Barry is right. There has been a major unexpected (and unwanted) change in the general group display (sorry, don't know if this is the right term for it), but not in all groups. In one of my group the menu now shows at the bottom of the page with 4 large icons, one of which is a dropdown menu. The topics view takes up all the space on the screen. Other groups, such as GMF, are not affected by the change, apparently, and the menu is shown on the left and everything is as usual. The strange thing is that sometimes my group goes back to normal view. I attach a screenshot. Marina |

It used to flip between the mobile (hamburger) and desktop menus at a screen width of around 799. Now it's 1239. Zoom out and it should help.

Bruce, he says he's having this problem on a laptop. Is your comment referring to a computer or a phone?Peter -- Which menu system is displayed depends only on the viewport width in pixels. Click the Restore Down icon on your desktop browser, and you can change between the two menu systems by simply resizing the window.

Now it's 1239.I suspect this is a result of the programming that Mark has been changing/updating to work with the new version of the app he's working on.? I think it should be reported as a #bug on beta as he probably overlooked it. BTW, for Barry, I think most 15" screens are no more than 1024 pixels wide, so that would explain your situation.

Zoom out and you should get your left-side menus back. Regards, Bruce Check out the groups.io Help Center?and?groups.io Owners Manual |
