Groups.io: Changelog
October 16, 2026
Members
- 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
Moderation
- BUGFIX: Searching the Activity log only found whole words, and parts of email addresses and hostnames weren't always separate words. For example, searching for
asourcingdidn't findinfo.asourcingelectronics-ic.com. Searches made up of plain words now also match those words anywhere inside an email address, hostname, or name, so you no longer need to add*wildcards. Searches for a full email address still match only that address. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41412
Group Settings
- CHANGE: After you submitted an Export Group Data request, the page showed only a confirmation box, and closing it left a blank page. You now return to the export form with the confirmation notice at the top, as on other pages, so you can start another export. The confirmation's close button was also missing its X. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41402
- BUGFIX: Clicking Export Group Data with nothing selected emailed you an empty zip file. It now asks you to select the data you want to export. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41402
- BUGFIX: Going to an Admin page from a link outside the sidebar, such as the Export button on the Topics or Messages page, highlighted it in the sidebar but left the Admin menu collapsed, so nothing looked selected. The sidebar now opens the menus around it. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41402
- BUGFIX: On the group Settings page and other group pages, pressing Enter in a text box saved the changes and showed "Your changes have been saved", but the text box still had its focus outline, so it looked like it was still being edited. After a successful save, focus now moves off the field. If the save fails, focus still stays on the field with the error. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41320
Subgroups
- BUGFIX: The email sent to members directly added to a subgroup always told them the address to send email to the group, even when the subgroup was announcement-only and they couldn't post to it. That sentence is now left out for announcement-only subgroups, as it already was in the email for members directly added to a main group. The sentence also said "the groups" instead of "the group". https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41050
Calendar
- CHANGE: On View RSVPs, changing the response of the checked attendees cleared the checks. They now stay checked.
Photos
- BUGFIX: HEIC photos could not be uploaded to a Photos album. Browsers that can't display HEIC, including Chrome and Edge on most Windows computers, don't identify those files as images, so the uploader rejected them with "You can't upload files of this type", and HEIC files didn't appear when choosing photos. HEIC and HEIF photos can now be uploaded to albums, and they are converted to JPEG, as they already were when posting messages. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41431
- BUGFIX: In the Sort By menus on the Photos, album, and photo search pages, the up and down arrows next to each choice were the wrong way round, so choosing an option with an up arrow sorted the other way from what you expected and showed a down arrow once the page reloaded. Ascending choices now show an up arrow and descending choices a down arrow, matching the Sort By label and the sort arrows on other pages. On album pages, the arrow in the Sort By label itself was also reversed, and now matches too. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41299
Wiki
- BUGFIX: On the wiki edit page, clicking Discard briefly showed the page's raw HTML before going back to the previous page. The same happened when going back with the browser's Back button from any page with the message editor. The editor now stays hidden while the previous page loads. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41317
- BUGFIX: In the wiki Image Library, selecting or dropping a file in the Upload File window left an empty preview box, and the window stayed that way for every later upload until the page was reloaded. The selected image now shows in the preview each time. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41317
- CHANGE: In the wiki Image Library, the Delete button sat between Cancel and Insert. It is now on the left, away from Insert, with Cancel and Insert together on the right. Add New and the Upload File window's Add button now use a plus icon. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41317
- CHANGE: The Yes button in the wiki's Verify Edit window now uses the same checkmark icon as other confirmation buttons. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41317
- CHANGE: On the wiki edit page, Page History and New Page left the page without warning, losing any unsaved edits. They now open in a new tab. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41317
Ask
- BUGFIX: In Ask, after you thanked it and then asked a follow-up, the answer ended with "Nothing in this group's archive matched your search" even though it had answered from the earlier results. The thank-you turn stored no search results, and the follow-up reused that empty set. Follow-ups now reuse the results of the last answer that had any, and the no-results note is only added when a search actually ran. https://beta.groups.io/g/ai/message/177
