Groups.io site updates #changelog


 

Hi all,

This week's change log:



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.


CHANGE: In the Photos section, changed the default sort for albums and
within albums to be most recent first.
NEW: Remember sort field/order for the Photos section (not yet viewing
a specific album).
Yay! I've long advocated that each list view retain its viewing options (including sort order) as you navigate the site.


NEW: The /feed page is now feature complete, including displaying
chats, wikis, databases, new subgroups, and recent images sent as
attachments.
That probably amounts to a "last call for comments" before it goes live.



CHANGE: When viewing banned members, the column name is now Banned.
When viewing normal members of a restricted group, the column name
is now Applied.
This is inclusive of the date Invited or Direct Added. "Applied" seems better than the old "Joined", since it is not the date a person was approved nor the date they accepted a invitation (which "Joined" implied).

There was discussion (still for Restricted groups) of changing it to actually be the date the member was Approved, Accepted an invite, or was Direct Added - on the principle that would be the date the person could actually interact with the group. But the change would require adding a new field to the underlying database, so it looks like Mark decided not to do that.


CHANGE: When adding/editing an event, check by default the 'Send
Invite To Group' option.
I'm puzzled about this one. I thought it already was (and that was the complaint).


Comments about these are welcome:

BUGFIX: If a subscription's display name was not set and the user's
display name wasn't set, we would set ALL of the user's
subscriptions to the name we pulled from the From line in an email.
This would overwrite a display name previously set by a moderator.
BUGFIX: Fixed obscure redirect bug because 'groups.io' is a suffix of
the new enterprise group dgroups.io.
INTERNAL: Parallelized the deletion of attachments from S3 when we
delete a group, because it was taking too long.
CHANGE: When banning someone, we record the moment the person is
banned. Previously, if the person was a member, we kept the date the
person applied/joined and used that.

Please call out any you find significant.

Mark missed this one (for some it's kind-of a big one):

* CHANGE: Only display photos in the Emailed Photos album that are
larger than 100x100 pixels.

Any chance this prevents seeing those annoying sig images, thus making it even harder to delete them?

I don't accept attachments or imbedded images so can't test in my groups.

Hmmm...and yet another change in default behavior that IMO was not carefully thought through.

I hope this is not in response to my request for a group option to strip embedded images. If so, this "remedy" bears little resemblance to what I asked for.
