#changelog
Hi all,
Prior weeks' change logs: /g/beta/message/13683 2017-05-12 /g/beta/message/13745 2017-05-19 * Upgraded the official Terms of Service with Oracle's changes. I think the final version is pretty benign. You can check the versions out here, use the Compare Revisions button: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Groups.io-TOS/history Something I noticed a while ago, and which might be worth discussing, is that when we post in Groups.io we are granting Groups.io a perpetual and irrevocable license to use our content. This differs in a significant way from the Yahoo TOS, wherein we grant them a license to use our content, but only for so long as they or we do not remove it from the service. * Various wording changes on the hashtags pages, suggested by J. * Display bouncing/bounced members in the normal members view. I like that this can help you see the person's old and new email address together in one place - if they've set the same Display Name for both they can be sorted together. In the early stages of setting up a group using Direct Add it helps to show which members' email addresses have been corrected and which have not yet. Comments about these others are also welcome: * BUGFIX: All day events that spanned multiple days in the ICS feeds were missing the final day, because DTEND in the ICS spec is non-inclusive. * BUGFIX: Banning actions were not being logged correctly in the activity log. * CHANGE: Display chat closed flash message if attempting to join a previously closed chat. * BUGFIX: When editing a topic from the search results, return to the search results when done. * INTERNAL: Upgraded to the latest version of the Stripe library. * NEW: Testing a 'Clean Links' function in the edit pending message TinyMCE editor. * SYSADMIN: Upgraded system software. * INTERNAL: Now storing deploy information, and annotating graphs with it. * INTERNAL: More work on the API and the app. * OTHER: Researched adding the ability to accept PayPal. The current state of the PayPal API for accepting recurring payments is a mess, however, with deprecated APIs and no new APIs yet for accepting recurring payments. * INTERNAL: Work on replacing all instances of the Summernote editor with the TinyMCE editor. * INTERNAL: Work on changing how sql savepoints are used in the database api; removing most of them. * INTERNAL: Rearchitected how event reminders are done to remove a race condition and to make them more reliable. * INTERNAL: Ran a consistency check to clean up some mismatched denormalized fields between thread and message objects in the database and search cluster. * INTERNAL: Return 404s to bots trying to index search pages and message pages indexed by month. * CHANGE: Trim space on database table URLs to prevent broken links. * BUGFIX: For HTML messages with a blockquoted reply that also had a 'In a message dated' prefix, we were treating the entire message as a quoted reply and collapsing the entire thing. * BUGFIX: For some other messages we were treating the entire message as a quoted part, so the entire message was collapsed. * BUGFIX: Polls weren't working for people who were testing the new TinyMCE code. Please call out any you find significant. Shal |
Hi all,
This week's change log: /g/beta/message/13842 * CHANGE: Reorganized the Settings page with help from J and Shal. Hopefully you'll find it better organized and easier to understand. * UPDATE: Revamped Definitions and Hashtags sections of the Help page with J's new text. Easier to read, and far more comprehensive coverage than before. I've tracked these updates into the GMF Mock-up. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Groups.io-Help-page-Mock-up If you have the inspiration please add more words; post your questions and comments. Anyone feeling the inspiration should review GMF's other wiki pages to see if there are things that have been obsoleted by or should cite material in the the updated help page. Note the handy permalinks that appear if you hover your mouse to the left of major headings in the Help page. * CHANGE: All instances of the Summernote editor have been replaced by the TinyMCE editor, except editing wiki pages. Yay! I'm still liking it. * CHANGE: Rolled back the price increase on premium plans. Once again, it's $10/month. Yay! Now buying a month or two for my PTA group during school registration is a no-brainer again. Comments about these others are also welcome: * BUGFIX: Display lock/gavel in the expanded message view. * BUGFIX: Hashtags set as special are now forced to be moderator only. * BUGFIX: Upgraded version of TinyMCE to fix a Firefox autolink problem. * NEW: New annual premium plan ($99/year). * INTERNAL: Initial work on upgrading the search engine software * NEW: Added 'Ynt:' as a signifier that a message is a reply (like Re:). * INTERNAL: Added rel=nofollow to prevent some search engine crawling. * CHANGE: The /manage URL is now /settings, to reflect name of the page. * CHANGE: Researched a case where Gmail decided a specific Groups.io /mt URL was a phishing URL and would display warnings when viewing any email with that link in it. To combat this, I changed all Groups.io mute/unmute/follow/unfollow links within emails to be unique to the individual receiving the message. * BUGFIX: Fixed optimistic locking issue with the bouncer program. * INTERNAL: Completed and rolled out changes to how we use sql savepoints in the database. * CHANGE: Changed the display of poll results on mobile to be more clear. * CHANGE: For 'Message to Member' group notices, don't have the option to set one as active, as that doesn't make sense. Please call out any you find significant. Shal |

Re granting Groups Io's license to use our content

I think this next, from the section entitled under "User Content trasmitted through the Service," is the passage you are referring to. WOW!??It seems unnecessariy sweeping--possibly from a boiler plate draft ? ? I'd very much like to hear a thorough explanation and discussion?- lawyers' arguments in plain English -?of everything I have underlined .
