Members

• CHANGE: The Create/Edit Label dialog on the Member Labels page now shows the same "Enter label name" and "Enter label description" placeholder text as the member page's Set Labels dialog. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41109
• BUGFIX: In the Posting Privileges section of the member page, and for the Full Featured Digest option on the Membership Defaults page, clicking a radio button's caption did nothing; only the button itself could be clicked, even though the cursor suggested otherwise. The same problem affected new-style checkboxes and radio buttons on several other admin pages, including the paid membership tier pages, the subgroup tiers page, the enterprise setup page and the Members page's moderation dialog. Clicking the caption now selects the option everywhere. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41136
• BUGFIX: On the member page and the Membership Defaults page, the Email Delivery, Message Selection, Owner Email and Monday Start options still rendered as old-style controls next to the new-style ones, and on Membership Defaults their help text sat flush with the button instead of under the caption. They now match the rest of the page. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41136
• CHANGE: On the Invite, Direct Add, Bulk Remove and File Sync pages, the "Upload a file containing the email addresses..." hint under the Upload Addresses file picker was printed in the regular text color with no final period, unlike the other hints on those pages. It is now styled and punctuated like them. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41144
• BUGFIX: On the Sent Invitations page, the Actions button was always enabled, so Cancel/Remove Invite and Send Again could be chosen with nothing selected. It is now disabled until at least one invitation is checked, like the action buttons on the other list pages. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41144
• CHANGE: The "Directly add people to your group..." warning at the top of the Direct Add page was a plain grey box. It is now the same highlighted note used for the anti-spam note on the Settings page. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41144

Moderation

• CHANGE: When a moderator rejected a member's pending message, the rejection notice sent to the member was not recorded in the member's email delivery history. It is now recorded there as a member notice, the same way rejected subscription notices are, and if the notice bounces, that is recorded in the member's bounce history. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41060
• BUGFIX: On the pending message pages, the previous/next message arrows next to the "1 of N" count rendered as tiny unstyled chevrons crammed against the count, instead of the normal navigation buttons. They are now proper buttons again, on both the view and edit pages. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41124
• BUGFIX: The pending message page threw a JavaScript error on every view, which also broke the "Copy Email Address" tooltip in the sender dropdown.
• BUGFIX: On the view pending message page, the sender's profile photo in the sender dropdown was drawn as a rounded square instead of a circle like the sender dropdown on other pages. It is a circle again. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41130
• BUGFIX: The edit pending message page still showed the old-style sender dropdown: an underlined name next to a large square photo or user icon, unlike the view pending message and New Topic pages. It now uses the same sender chip as those pages. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41130
• CHANGE: The "All actions" filter on the Activity pages (the group activity log, a member's activity, and your own account's activity page) used its own older look: square corners, a darker border and a small triangle, matching no other dropdown on the site. It now has the same corners, border, height and arrow as the other selectors, in light and dark mode, and the highlighted item in its list uses the site's blue. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41139

Group Settings

• BUGFIX: On the Membership Defaults page, selecting Following Only did not enable the First Message Also and Auto Follow Replies checkboxes, and did not auto-check Auto Follow Replies, so those defaults could not be set. Also changed a leftover "thread" to "topic" in that page's help text and in the plain-text email footer. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41099
• BUGFIX: On the group Settings page, the Restricted Membership checkbox (and the Allow Sponsorships checkbox in the General section) rendered as bare, unstyled checkboxes next to their styled neighbors. Both now match the other checkboxes. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41098
• CHANGE: The "To help prevent spam, groups must have at least one of these options set" note sat in a grey footer at the bottom of the Group Type and Moderation section, where it was easy to miss and often required scrolling to see. It now appears as a highlighted note at the top of the section. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41098
• CHANGE: The Two-Factor Authentication Policy setting has moved from the General section of the Settings page into the Privacy section, which is now titled Privacy and Security. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41098
• BUGFIX: The Settings page did not enforce the rule that a group must keep at least one anti-spam option enabled: you could uncheck them all, and the site would silently re-enable New Members Moderated when saving. The page now keeps the last remaining option on (re-checking the checkbox, or reverting the Message Moderation selector), so the page always reflects what will actually be saved.
• CHANGE: The Group Description editor on the Settings page and the Signature editor on the Subscription page were always at least 400 pixels tall - a minimum sized for the message composer - showing mostly blank space for short content, and could not be resized any smaller. Both editors now size themselves to their content and can be resized down to 200 pixels; the message composer is unchanged. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41108
• CHANGE: On the Membership Defaults page, only the panel title expanded or collapsed the Default Subscription Settings and Default User Settings panels; the description text under the title did nothing, so the cursor flipped between a pointer and a text cursor as you moved across the heading. The description now toggles the panel too. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41144
• CHANGE: The Edit Notice page had no Cancel button, unlike the other edit pages. It now has one, returning to the Notices list. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41144
