• BUGFIX: Sending a message to members via the Members page ignored any checked members other than those on the current page. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/82367001#29287
• CHANGE: Added some text to the Default Subscription Settings page to hopefully explain better that those settings apply to new members, not existing members.
• CHANGE: Clicking the `Identity` tab in your account now takes you directly to your editable overall profile. There is now a dropdown selector to select a different profile to edit. I've also added some text to hopefully explain the (quite complicated) profile system a little better. More can be done, however.
• BUGFIX: Fixed Discard button in `/posttosub` and also made it red and moved it to the right corner, to match the `/post` page. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/79386435#29285

• API CHANGE: When calling the `/getgroup` API endpoint with a `group_id` of a group you are not subscribed to, return a new response of `not_subscribed` instead of `group_not_found`.

May 20, 2021

• CHANGE: When composing a message on the website, inline images will always be resized to be <=640. Previously, if the Max Emailed Photo Size was unlimited, inlined images were not resized. Attached images and inlined images in emailed photos will continue to have the previous behavior of being resized to <640 if the Max Emailed Photo Size was set and was larger than 640.
• NEW: Working photo upload from the app into the Photos section. Still work to be done.
