• BUGFIX: On /directory, the bottom page navigation could be covered by the scroll-to-top button. Viewing another member's profile no longer expands the Subscription menu and highlights Profile in the sidebar. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41163
• BUGFIX: When a search was active on /members, saving a member's details could leave their row showing the previous values. The list now loads current member details when returning from an edit, so saved changes appear immediately. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41179

• BUGFIX: A member label with no color was drawn with white text on its white background, making the name invisible in the member labels list, the Set Labels dialogs and previews, and on the member page, where the label disappeared entirely against the page. No-color labels now get dark text and an outline, and the no-color choice in the label color picker shows as white with a border instead of a transparency checkerboard. Also fixed the separator line below the member page's labels, which did not extend the full width. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41097
• CHANGE: The Create Label dialog on the member labels page now shows a live preview of the label as you type, matching the Set Labels dialog on the member page, and the create-label forms across the site now use the same field names and description length. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41097
• BUGFIX: In the label color pickers, the checkmark showing the selected color was drawn in white, making it invisible on the white No Color swatch: editing a label with no color looked like no color was selected. The checkmark is now dark on that swatch. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41109
• 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

• NEW: The Direct Add page of a group with subgroups now has a "Restore previous subgroup memberships" checkbox, unchecked by default. When checked, anyone being added who was previously a member of the group is also added back to the subgroups they belonged to when they were removed, with their previous delivery settings, and the subgroups are listed in the notice they receive. This helps groups that remove members when a paid membership lapses and re-add them when they renew — previously, the person's subgroup memberships had to be rebuilt by hand. Moderator and owner roles are not restored, and subgroups explicitly checked on the page are added with default settings as before. It works for removals that predate this feature.
• API NEW: /directadd accepts a new optional boolean parameter, restore_subgroups, equivalent to the new "Restore previous subgroup memberships" checkbox. Restored subgroup memberships are included in the response's added_members.
• BUGFIX: On a member's page in the admin area, the Moderator Permissions, Moderator Notifications and Owner Email sections — which should only appear when the person's role is moderator or owner — displayed for every member. This was display-only: no member gained any permission, and the page is only visible to moderators and owners in the first place. The sections once again appear only when the role calls for them. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41073
• BUGFIX: In dark mode, member labels (and any other colored chip) displayed grey instead of their assigned color. Dark mode's grey treatment is meant for count badges only; it now leaves anything carrying a color alone, as it always did before the restyling. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41079
• BUGFIX: In the Moderator Permissions list on a member's admin page, the "Invite Members" checkbox rendered indented differently from the rest of the list. It now lines up with its neighbors. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41084
• CHANGE: The sections on a member's admin page — User Details, Moderator Permissions, Member Notifications, Email Delivery, and the rest — are now collapsible, like the corresponding sections on the Subscription page, so sections you aren't using can be folded out of the way. They start expanded. Section headings on both pages also now use a single consistent color; previously the collapsible ones rendered slightly darker than the static ones. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41084
