Members

• CHANGE: Member labels on a member's page were larger than on the Members page and didn't use its label text style, so they looked like the Set Labels button next to them. They now look the same as on the Members page. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41394
• CHANGE: Member label tooltips on the Members page and a member's page now show the label's description as well as its name. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41384
• CHANGE: The Moderator Note icon on the Members page and a member's page is now solid and darker, so it stands out next to the member's badges. It now also shows its tooltip when you move to it with the keyboard and is read out by screen readers. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41384
• CHANGE: Hovering over or tabbing to the Moderator Note icon on the Members page and a member's page now shows the note itself and when it was last updated, instead of just "Has Moderator Note". Long notes show their end, where the newest entries usually are. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41395
• BUGFIX: In groups where members can see the member list, ordinary members could see the Moderator Note icon next to members who had a note. The icon is now shown only to moderators who can manage members.
• BUGFIX: In groups where members can see the member list, searching the Members page also searched moderator notes, so ordinary members could find out which members had notes containing a word. Moderator notes are now searched only for moderators who can manage members.
• API BUGFIX: /searchmembers also searched moderator notes for callers who could not read them. Moderator notes are now searched only for callers with permission to manage members.
• API BUGFIX: /searchmemberdirectory didn't follow the rules of the member directory on the website. It required permission to view the member list instead of the member directory, searched every extra member data field, returned pending, banned and unconfirmed members and members with private profiles, and let members whose own profile is private search. It now matches the website: it requires the view_member_directory permission, searches only the extra member data fields marked Viewable In A Member's Profile, returns only active members, shows members with private profiles only to moderators and owners, and returns an inadequate_permissions error to members whose own profile is private. Moderators and owners can now also search by email address, as on the website.
• CHANGE: Sorting the Members page by a column cleared any members you had checked. Checked members now stay checked when you sort, including ones checked on other pages. The same applies on Pending Messages, your own Pending Messages, Drafts, View RSVPs, and Direct Add for subgroups. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41424
• BUGFIX: On the Members page, Drafts, and a member's Subgroups page, if you unchecked something you had checked before going to another page, it was checked again when you changed pages. Unchecked rows now stay unchecked.
• CHANGE: The Moderator Note tooltip on the Members page and a member's page showed only the last 300 characters of a long note. That suited moderators who add new entries at the bottom, but not those who add them at the top. Long notes now show their beginning and their end, separated by an ellipsis, and the tooltip shows up to 400 characters. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41434
• CHANGE: In the Set Labels window on a member's page and the Change Member Labels window on the Members page, the checkboxes still had the old style, and you had to click exactly on a checkbox to check or uncheck it. The checkboxes now match the rest of the site, and clicking anywhere on a label's row, including its name or description, checks or unchecks it. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41386
• BUGFIX: If you opened a member's page from a filtered, sorted, or searched Members list, such as the Bouncing members, Save and Cancel took you back to that list, but only if you hadn't visited any of the member's other pages. After going to their Email Delivery History, Activity History, Notes, +owner Messages, or Subgroups page and then back to Membership, Save and Cancel took you to the full, unfiltered Members list instead. Saving a moderator note or changing the member's subgroup subscriptions had the same effect. You now return to the list as you left it, including the page you were on, and members opened from the Subgroup Members list return there. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41385
• CHANGE: A member's page said "This member is bouncing." at the bottom for both bouncing and bounced members. Bounced members now show "This member has bounced.", matching the Bouncing and Bounced badges at the top of the page. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41385
• CHANGE: When the Members page was filtered to Bouncing members, the Actions menu offered only Remove, Send Bounce Probe and Send Message. It now has the same actions as the other filters, including Ban, Change Email Delivery, Change Moderation, Change Color, Change Member Labels and Change Member Notifications, as well as Send Bounce Probe. Send Bounce Probe is now also offered when Bouncing is combined with other filters. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41389
• BUGFIX: On Basic groups, Change Member Notifications was missing from the Members page's Actions menu, except when it was filtered to Moderators, even though notifications can be changed on a member's page in any group. It is now always offered to moderators who can change member settings.
• NEW: The Actions menu on the Members page has a new Add Moderator Note action. It adds the text you enter to the moderator notes of every checked member, on a new line after their existing notes, so you can keep a running log for a set of members, such as "10/16 - second warning about topic hijacking". It is available to moderators who can manage members and is logged in the Activity log for each member. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41389
• BUGFIX: In groups where members can see the member list, the Members page didn't check that the person making a change to members was a moderator with permission to make it. The Actions menu only showed those actions to moderators. Each action on the Members page is now checked against the moderator's permissions.
• 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.
