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.


NEW: Remember sort field/order when viewing photo albums.
This is the counterpart to last week's feature of remembering the sort order when viewing the list of albums. Now the order of photos within an album is also remembered.


CHANGED: When adding/editing an event, replaced the 'Send Invite To
Group' checkbox with dedicated Add/Update Event buttons to make
things more clear.
Having it checked by default caused grief for some groups (an excess of invites), but unchecked caused grief for others (missing invites). Now the person creating/editing the event must explicitly choose whether or not to invite the group - that is, post a message right now about the event.


NEW: We remember your last home page and return to it when going to
or clicking on the Groups.io logo.
NEW: The feed view is now the home page view and the previous page,
the listing of your groups, is now at /groups.
The feed page proved astonishingly controversial when launched. I'm astonished anyway, given that it had been in preview since the 8th of March.
/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/30783682

Anyway, the newer feature of remembering your home page means that those who dislike it never have to see it again, visit one of the other "home" pages (/groups, /topics, or /calendar) and it becomes your new default for the Groups.io home URL, /, same as clicking the logo in the upper left of any page.


Comments about these are welcome:

CHANGED: Tweaked the header text for full digests and summaries to
hopefully make things a little more clear.
CHANGE: Changed the SMTP error status message we return for no reverse
DNS and some other errors so that it's a bit less opaque.
BUGFIX: Fixed parsing of a bunch of additional bounce messages (if
you've seen 'Unable to parse bounce message' in your email delivery
history, hopefully this will fix that.)
INTERNAL: Added additional statistics tracking along with improved web
site log analysis.
SYSADMIN: Audited our database alerts and added an additional one for
transaction wraparound.

Please call out any you find significant.

Shal
