Hi Don,
Why don‘t you have a look at the group‘s main page yourself? You can open it without registering - just open the web site?
groups.io/g/beta ?
(I‘ve left out the https stuff so you have to complete the link yourself).?

The is the place to report bugs and suggestions for improvement to the Groups.io service. There are multiple subgroups within the Beta group for different aspects of the service and should be used to target your message more accurately. Currently, the subgroups are:
?
  • - For the discussion of potential AI/LLM based features for Groups.io
  • - For the discussion of the Groups.io API.
  • - For discussion of the Groups.io iOS/Android app
  • - For improving the documentation of Groups.io
  • - This group is dedicated to localizing the Groups.io service into different languages.
General queries should still be raised here on GMF or Group_Help and as it's generally the same people providing support on both of those groups, I'd recommend messages are posted on one or the other but not both.

I have a member of my group that has asked me to forward their improvements to the Photo Albums, they think would make it function better. I happen to agree with them on a couple of their ideas, so I told them I would look into forwarding their ideas to the appropriate place on Groups.io. I already knew GMF helped in answering questions about the operation of groups to users, but with ideas of changes and/or improvements, it was generally recommended to submit those to the Beta Group. From that point, I did not know how the process continued. That was the intent of my post.

Thank you,

Just join the beta group and send a message using the #suggestion hashtag.

Once you've posted the suggestion, it's at least on Mark's radar.? I've made some that took a few years to be adopted, others that never have been, others in a few days.? Mark usually looks at the overall picture to see if it will be beneficial to a large number of people.? Sometimes it's a small number, but on an Enterprise group that's paying a large sum.

Be sure to limit one issue, bug, suggestion, whatever, per Messsge Topic. ?Topics can sometimes go sideways and Mark may lose focus if there’s 5 suggestions in one message.?

I find that on a #suggestion, sometimes giving Mark a concrete change (such as rewarding something that is confusing or incorrect) gets more action than simply bringing it to his attention. ?I did that on some system email/message that was (IMO) overly wordy and disorganized, and it was easy for him to just cut/paste in my replacement text, and changed it quickly (a day or two.)

I had sent a request to Support about a couple issues with photo albums before I asked about Beta, and yesterday I received an email from Mark Fletcher. He asked me for album names and problems reported so he could look into them, so I promptly sent that information back to Mark. In that email I first sent him, I had also told him how a member had ideas of improving Photo Albums, and he asked me to forward that to him also. I guess there can be other ways of making suggestions, or I just got lucky.
