Hi all,

topic (or rejoin an existing one) about a specific change.


NEW: The website now requires consent for cookies.
I generally consent to cookies. Except when they're minty.


NEW: Added cookie policy.
My policy is all chocolate chip, all the time. Plus the occasional Do-si-do or Trefoil (when it is Girl Scout cookie season).


Comments about these others are also welcome:

NEW: Revamped terms of service/privacy policy/about/cookie policy
sidebar navigation.
BUGFIX: Fixed infinite loop when finding a File path in a specific
case.
INTERNAL: Made it easier to profile the web servers in production.
NEW: Account export lets you specify which groups to export data from,
and the export is better broken out by group.
SYSADMIN: Added an additional webserver.
CHANGE: We now parse a bunch more incorrect Date: header line formats,
where the day of the week is spelled out (Monday) and/or the month
is spelled out (January).
Please call out any you find significant.

Shal

It is not clear to me whether any group member is allowed to export any data from his/her group.
i.e. can a group member export all the archives, photos, files, etc. of the group he/she is subscribed to? Or is it a feature limited to moderators/owners?
In my group, Members' List and Directory are visible only to mods & owner, so I presume that members cannot export those data?

Thank you for your help.

?Marina,

Since ordinary members don't have access to "Admin/Settings" which is where the command to export group data is, then they can't do an group data export.

Of course, under "Account", everyone has the option to export their own account information.

Bonnie,

A bit of off-topic mockery, as I didn't find much else noteworthy in this week's updates.

It started as a rant about whether it is really helpful to put the same notification on (nearly) every site on the internet. But then I decided I didn't like the negative tone that resulted. My apologies to those who take the privacy aspects of browser cookies seriously.

Yes, it seems I've been getting "this site uses cookies" notifications just about everywhere I go lately. As if I didn't already know.

I ran into one this morning for the first time that had a "No, I don't want your cookies" option.? Only problem is, it didn't work, just sat on the same page and allowed me to do nothing.

I've forgotten the precise wording, but it was along the lines of
"selling cookies is counter productive to the aims and goals of the
organization". Thus, the demise of the Girl Guide Cookie.

Maybe they will be available year round, in your local hypermart.
