I used to be able to join a group via the group’s page - this now seems impossible, and also, the member list is absent:
- _logged in as me_ - expecting to see “Join Group” button and member list on [SE23 Forum - Forest Hill & Honor Oak](https://se23.life/groups/2016_Parents)
- _not logged in_ - expecting to see member list:

@ChrisBeach Is this just a public group?

Is your instance on latest? I can’t reproduce this locally.

Yes it is.
I’ve just checked, and three of my public group pages work correctly e.g.
> **[SE23 Forum - Forest Hill & Honor Oak](https://se23.life/groups/Politicos)**
Pondering ways in which these two non-functioning group pages are different… the groups:
- start with a number?
- are the most recent (possibly created after a logic / DB change)?
- don’t have me as a member or owner (the others do)

Cool that should be sufficient information. I’ll look into it soon.

Hmm can you check for any errors in your logs? It looks like the members API endpoint is not returning the right results.
Anyway I noticed that font awesome icons with longer widths are still not displaying correctly so I made a fix 🙂

I have the same issue. I am on v1.7.0.beta11 and hosted by Discourse.
(Not seeing any _request_ buttons on private groups and PM is still going to the entire group–so maybe I am not on latest?)
Same issues with brand new test group.
Could it be related to the link on the groups page being
- [https://community.mygalaw.com/groups/Test3/members](https://community.mygalaw.com/groups/Test3/members)
It then redirects to
- [https://community.mygalaw.com/groups/Test3/](https://community.mygalaw.com/groups/Test3/)
Back when the landing page for groups was changed from _activity_ to _members_ there was a redirect added. Just a guess.

Thanks for the report @ChrisBeach and @scombs.
There was a bug client side when the current user does not belong to any group.
