Groups.io site updates #changelog

Hi all,
This week's change log covers two weeks: 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: Bulk topic actions.Not ready for prime time. For group moderators only Available for testing by appending -test to the URL in the address bar while looking at the Topics list. As in: /g/GroupManagersForum/topics-test (but use your own group name instead) It adds checkboxes to the left of each topic subject, and four buttons at the top of the list for bulk operations on the selected topics. Delete, Merge, Hashtags (add or remove), and More (Moderate, Lock, and Make Sticky). Each of the latter two menus have Apply and Cancel buttons at the bottom, so make sure you scroll down to that to apply the selected functions. If you feel like testing the bulk features, please report issues or suggestions here: CHANGE: For Reply To Sender groups, we don't delete any existingColor me shocked. This relates to a topic here in GMF where David M made some allegations about Y!Groups' behavior which I disbelieved. Not only are some of them true, but I found some even more surprising than ones he mentioned. /g/GroupManagersForum/topic/23196172 CHANGE: Some domains will sometimes reply to emails with '550 This IPPet peeve: email services who violate the standards for error codes. 5xx is supposed to be for /permanent/ errors - defined as situations where the message should not be re-sent until human intervention has corrected the problem. For "re-try later" situations they are supposed to use a 4xy code. This became a big problem for Y!Groups many years ago when email services started issuing 5xy codes for senders found on dynamic black lists. What part of the word "dynamic" did they not understand? Yeah, I know, these rejections are just polite ways of saying "We think you're a spammer, go away" and that's why they issue a no-retry code. Still, I think they're abusing the reply coding scheme. Comments about these others are also welcome: INTERNAL: Verifying DKIM sigs of inbound emails, currently in testingonly.

== == Hello Shal, I went to the link provided and tried this feature and it looks to be going to be a really convenient option. It's an obvious time-saver, but . . . Is there some way to toggle the option on or off? I couldn't locate one anywhere. (Or maybe I am just having Moderator/User blindness!) Cheers! Paul M. Owner - 'CRL.io' == |

Paul, Is there some way to toggle the option on or off?? I couldn't locate one anywhere.? (Or maybe I am just having Moderator/User blindness!) ?Not yet, it is still in testing. Actually, I'm not sure if the intent is to provide a toggle, or just have the feature be the normal Topic display when seen by moderators (those with the Edit Archive permission).

Peter,
I LOVE the bulk operations feature. Will this be rolled out to PHOTOSI don't know. There is a related to-do item: There are also topics in the beta group that relate: You could chime in on one of those topics with your own suggestion(s) on the topic. THanks Shal for your efforts!You're welcome, but I'm only reporting and commenting on what's new. Mark is the one that makes it happen. Speaking of which, he posted this week's changelog this morning. Which means I'll be commenting on it here a bit later.

Now when someone writes in with a question that implies that they aren't the group owner when they think they are, I have an easy place for them to look and then tell me. NEW: Added domain/subdomain setup information to the help page.For enterprise groups only. CHANGE: Updated and added sections about our data processing agreementEvidently won't go live until probably Monday: I had not been including updates to the API in the #changelog reports.The API subgroup of beta is not very active. I wonder if we'll start hearing of any interesting apps.
