Calendar
  • BUGFIX: When adding or editing a calendar event, typing a time with a space before AM or PM, such as 4:15 PM, saved it as 4:15 AM. Typed times are now read correctly, with or without the space.
Photos
  • BUGFIX: On the edit photo and edit album pages, the Cancel button came before the Update button, the reverse of the Database pages and the rest of the site. The update button now comes first, followed by Cancel. Also, on a database's settings page, the Delete Table button sat between Update and Cancel; it now sits on the right side, like the Delete button when editing a row. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41236
  • CHANGE: Sub-albums were hard to tell apart from top-level photo albums. The album list in the Move dialog on a photo's page showed every album by its title alone, in one alphabetical list. It now shows each sub-album's full path, such as Trips › Scotland, listed directly under its parent album. Notifications for a new sub-album now say it is a sub-album and link to the album that contains it. The album summaries on the Photos pages now say 1 sub-album instead of 1 album. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41261
Wiki
  • BUGFIX: In the wiki, clicking Add after choosing an image in the Add New image dialog submitted the whole page, which cleared the page title, and the image was never inserted. Add now uploads the image and inserts it into the page, and the rest of the page is left alone.
Databases
  • BUGFIX: Changing a database table's structure, such as adding, editing, or deleting a column, changed the Updated date of every row in the table to the date of the change. A row's Updated date now changes only when that row's values are edited. Rows whose dates were already changed can't be restored. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41242
Subscription
  • CHANGE: Your subscription settings page now has the same Set All To menu at the top of the Moderator Notifications section as a member's page, so moderators and owners can set all of their own moderator notifications (email and web/app, email only, web/app only, or none) at once. You can still adjust individual settings afterward, and nothing is saved until you click Save. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41265
Account & Login
  • BUGFIX: The Actions menu on Your Groups could open behind the top navigation bar when only a few groups were listed, hiding some options. It now opens downward by default and flips upward when needed. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41237
  • BUGFIX: In your feed, hashtags in Active Topics were shown as link-colored text on a colored background, which was hard to read in light mode, and long hashtag names could break across lines. They are now shown as colored hashtag badges, as in the rest of the site. The badge for members whose first messages are moderated read NuM; it now reads NMM with the tooltip New Member Moderated, as on the members pages. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41276
  • BUGFIX: The note at the top of your profile settings is now shown in the same light-blue box as the notes on your other settings pages. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41276
  • CHANGE: On Your Groups, the badges showing your posting status in each group (P, M, NP, NMM, MF, and MT) were orange, red, or green, which could make an ordinary setting look like a warning. They are now light blue, like the Mod and Owner badges and the badges in your feed. The members pages that moderators and owners use keep their warning colors. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41278
  • BUGFIX: On the login page, clicking Log In without entering an email address just reloaded the page, with no explanation. The email field is now marked with "You must enter an email address." When the email address doesn't have an account, the email field now says so, and it keeps what you typed. A wrong password was shown as a missing password; it now says "Your email address or password is incorrect." with the link to get a login link or set a password.
  • BUGFIX: Registering with an email address that already had an account could also show a "wrong password" notice left over from the login attempt. Only the "already registered" message on the email field is shown now.
Enterprise
  • BUGFIX: The Enterprise Settings page didn't highlight Enterprise Settings in the sidebar.
Design & Accessibility
  • CHANGE: Changed the fourth and final batch of web pages from Bootstrap 3 to Bootstrap 5: the Messages pages (topics, messages, threads, search, hashtag pages, polls, drafts, posting and editing), the mute and follow pages, subscription settings and member notices, your home page and feed, your groups list, your calendar, account settings, login, registration and two-factor pages, profiles, the help center and API documentation, and the site chrome shared by every page (header, menus, sidebars, dialogs). This is plumbing, not a redesign; the pages should look and behave as before. With this batch the whole site is on Bootstrap 5 and the old framework is gone.
  • BUGFIX: On the Drafts, Followed Hashtags, and Muted Hashtags pages, the checkboxes still had the old style and the rows didn't alternate colors. Both now match the site's other lists. The button for removing hashtags on these pages was called Delete and was blue on Followed Hashtags; it is now a red Remove button on both pages, and it stays disabled until you check at least one hashtag. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41276
  • BUGFIX: A few badges and chips still used the old style: the NC (Not Confirmed) badge on a member's page, the RI badge in the Members page's reverification note, and the label filter chips on the subgroup members and subgroup direct-add pages. They now match the rest of the site.
  • BUGFIX: In the menus on the Files, Photos, wiki, database, analytics, activity, members, and pending message pages, the up and down arrow keys didn't move between menu items. They now do, as in the site's other menus. The wiki menu's Add Footer and Add Sidebar items are now greyed out when the page already exists.
  • BUGFIX: The Sort By menus on the Photos, album, and photo search pages, and the New/Upload menu on the Files page, couldn't be reached with the Tab key. Several menu items that open a dialog also couldn't be chosen from the keyboard, including New Folder and Upload Files on the Files page, Custom Range on the analytics and activity pages, Delete This Revision in the wiki, and Copy on the pending message pages. All of them now work from the keyboard.
  • CHANGE: The notes at the top of the group and member Integrations pages, and the messages shown when there is nothing to list on the Pending Messages, Drafts, Chats, Database, and Hashtags pages, were plain grey boxes. They are now the same light-blue box as your settings pages and the Followed and Muted Hashtags pages. On the Hashtags page of a group with no hashtags, the New Hashtag button sat right against that box; there is now space between them. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41279
Site-wide
  • DOCS: Updates from Nina.
