Groups.io: Changelog
September 25, 2026
Design & Accessibility
- 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.
September 18, 2026
Highlights
- Enterprise SAML settings now support certificate rotation, and request signing now actually signs authentication requests.
- Photo searches now include emailed images.
- Reports of messages, photos, files and profiles now require a reason.
- Pasting a web address into the online editor now links it without needing Space or Enter afterwards.
- Subgroup pages have corrected breadcrumbs, and saving a member opened from Subgroup Members now returns you to Subgroup Members.
Messages & Topics
- CHANGE: Recent Topics now appears in a panel, with matching View All link styling for Recent Topics and Top Hashtags. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
Editor & Drafts
- BUGFIX: Pasting a standalone HTTP/HTTPS URL into the online editor could leave it unlinked unless followed by Space or Enter. These URLs now become clickable immediately when pasted. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41194
Hashtags
- BUGFIX: Two Top Hashtags sections appeared at intermediate browser widths. Only the appropriate version is now displayed. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
Members
- BUGFIX: Clicking inside the Members and Subgroup Members filter dropdowns could close them and clear selections. The dropdowns now stay open while choosing filters. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
- CHANGE: Member label descriptions are now displayed in the Members filter, matching Subgroup Members. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
- BUGFIX: Saving or cancelling a member record opened from Subgroup Members returned to the regular Members list. It now returns to Subgroup Members with the previous list state preserved. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41182
Moderation
- CHANGE: Reports of messages, photos, files, and profiles now require a reason; empty or whitespace-only reasons are rejected. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
Group Settings
- BUGFIX: Dismissing the private-archive confirmation could leave Visibility blank. Cancel, close, Escape, and backdrop dismissal now restore the previous selection; Yes retains the new selection. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41185
- CHANGE: The private-archive confirmation now uses public instead of open and a check-mark icon for Yes. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41185
Subgroups
- BUGFIX: Subgroup page breadcrumbs had missing links or page titles. They now show a linked Subgroups parent and the current page title, with corrected breadcrumb spacing. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
- CHANGE: The sidebar shortcut to sibling subgroups is now labeled All Subgroups when viewed from a subgroup, and the subgroup directory breadcrumb identifies the main group. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41185
- BUGFIX: The Subgroup Members table header lacked its gray background in light mode. The background is now restored. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41185
Calendar
- BUGFIX: Calendar validation errors reset dates, times, All Day, and other event options. The form now preserves submitted values, and Event Name is marked as required. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
Photos
- BUGFIX: Photo searches omitted emailed images. Searches now include emailed images for viewers with archive access, and searching within Emailed Photos limits results to that album. Emailed-image results link to their source messages. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
- CHANGE: The Move Photo dialog now sorts destination albums alphabetically and uses a move icon. Edit Album and Edit Photo now include Cancel buttons. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
Wiki
- CHANGE: Wiki comparison revision links and the Claimed by profile links in Pending Messages now open in new tabs. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
Databases
- BUGFIX: Database import and row-action buttons were enabled without the required selections. JSON and CSV imports now require a selected file, View/Edit Row requires exactly one selected row, and Delete Rows requires at least one. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
- BUGFIX: Cancelling Edit Table Properties returned to the database list. It now returns to the table being edited. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
