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.


* Section in help listing all available email commands.

For the benefit of all your email-only members out there - these are mostly the subscription changes they can make without logging in to the site. It is at the bottom of the FAQ section, use the link in the left column of the help page to go directly there.

I think there are a few commands missing from that list, specifically to address the advanced subscription options.


* Custom search ranges in new search.
* Ability to exclude signatures from [new] search, and lowered their rankings in relevance searches.

I'm loving the new Tools button as an expander for a set of search result filters. I'd like to see that grow into a comprehensive collection of filters.

The metadata filters (date is the only example so far) I'd like to see in a similar Tools button for the full message lists (Messages, Topics, Expanded, Polls) and for other lists as well (Photos, Files, etc.).


* Out of Space group setting.

"What to do when the group is out of space." You have the choice of automatically deleting old attachments or bouncing new messages. I presume that refers only to messages with attachments, as otherwise messages don't count towards a group's storage limit.

I think it might be nice if there were a third setting: strip attachments - just like the Attachments option above it.


Comments about these others are also welcome:

* NEW: New search now has a 'did you mean' suggestion function.
* INTERNAL: Re-architected dumpmessages utility to be able to deal with messages and topics being deleted from under it.
* INTERNAL: More work on the API.
* CHANGE: Subgroup storage space no longer is deducted from the parent group's storage space.
* BUGFIX: Activity tab wasn't showing up for some moderators.
* CHANGE: Because Dropbox is discontinuing the V1 version of their API, which would require us to re-write our code, and because only a few people used it, removing the integration, at least for now.


Please call out any you find significant.

I rather think that this is pretty spectacular and generous!

I was going to ask for Dropbox integration instead of Google.
I feel like they would be a better fit for groups.io, but I understand the technical considerations.
Hopefully you will revisit this in the future.


 

Charlie,

Hopefully you will revisit this in the future.
GMF is a user-to-user community, no one here from Groups.io.

If you'd like to see it revisited post that in Groups.io's "suggestion box", the beta group:
