  • CHANGE: On the Members page, using an action from the Actions menu cleared the members you had checked, so you had to find and check them again to make another change. Members now stay checked after Change Email Delivery, Change Moderation, Change Color, Change Member Labels, Change Member Notifications, Add Moderator Note, Send Bounce Probe, Resend Pending Notice, and Claim, including members checked on other pages. Remove, Ban, Unban, Approve, Reject, and Delete still clear the checks, since those members leave the list. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41459
  • BUGFIX: On the Members page, choosing Send Message when all the checked members were on other pages of the list started a message with no recipients. The message now goes to every checked member.
  • BUGFIX: The Resend Pending Notice button on a member's page was only shown in one group. It is now shown for pending members in any group with a pending member notice.
  • BUGFIX: After sending or cancelling a message to a member from their profile page, you were taken to the Member Directory, or to the group's home page if you can't see the directory. You now go back to the member's profile. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41457
  • CHANGE: The Send To Member button on the page for sending a message to members is now green with a paper airplane icon, like the Send button for new topics and replies. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41457

  • BUGFIX: On the Members page, the member label and color filters were ignored when you also entered a search term or sorted by a custom member data column, so the results included members without the selected labels or colors. Those filters now apply to searches and custom-column sorts too.
  • API NEW: Added member label endpoints: /getmemberlabels lists a group's labels, /creatememberlabel creates one, /updatememberlabel changes a label's name, description, or color, and /deletememberlabel deletes one. They require the manage_members permission, and labels cannot be created in Basic groups.
  • API NEW: /getmembers and /searchmembers can now filter the members they return. The filter parameter takes the same filters as the Members page (email delivery, posting status, message selection, not confirmed, and others), label_ids returns members with any of the given labels, and colors returns members with any of the given colors. label_ids and colors require the manage_members permission.
  • API CHANGE: /searchmembers now returns each member's member_labels, as /getmembers already did.
  • CHANGE: When a moderator sends a message to a single member from the Members page or a member's page, the subject now starts with [DM], as it does for messages members send each other from a profile. Before, these messages had only the group's subject tag, so they looked at first like they had been sent to the whole group. Messages a moderator sends to several members at once are unchanged. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41340
  • BUGFIX: When a moderator changed a member's email address, the Member Account Change Notification sent to that group's moderators said "A moderator in another group changed…", even though the change was made by a moderator of that same group. The notification now names the moderator who made the change, as it already did for display name changes. Other groups the member belongs to still get "A moderator in another group changed…". https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41348

  • API BUGFIX: Calling /updatemember without the member_labels parameter removed all of the member's labels. The labels are now left unchanged when member_labels is omitted; to remove all labels, send a single empty member_labels value.
  • API BUGFIX: When /updatemember was used to create more than one new label at once, every new label got the first name in new_label_names, so only one was created. Each new_ ID in member_labels now uses its own name, color, and description. If a label with that name already exists in the group, it is assigned instead of failing.
  • API BUGFIX: /getmember, /getmembers, and /updatemember never included the member_labels field in the member info object, even when the member had labels. They now return it for callers with the manage members permission.
  • BUGFIX: When sending a message to a member from their member page, clicking Discard took you to the group's home page, even though sending took you back to the member page. Discard now returns you to the page you started from: the member page, the Members list, an RSVP or poll responses list, or a chat. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41338

Members
  • BUGFIX: Clicking an invite link while logged in failed with a "logged in as another user" error when the invitation had been sent to one of your email aliases rather than your primary address, and logging out did not help because the link logged you straight back in. Invitations sent to any of your aliases can now be accepted from the website.
  • CHANGE: Giving a moderator most or all permissions meant clicking up to 15 checkboxes one at a time on the member's page. The Moderator Permissions section now has Check All and Uncheck All links, so you can start from everything and remove a few, or start from nothing and add a few. The Moderator Notifications section also has a new Set All To menu that sets every moderator notification (email and web/app, email only, web/app only, or none) at once; you can still adjust individual settings afterward. Nothing is saved until you click Save. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41181
  • BUGFIX: On a member's page, changing someone's role from Owner to Moderator hid the Pending Members notification setting even when they still had the Approve Pending Members permission. It now stays visible whenever that permission is checked.
