I have this group on my Forum for Beta Testers of my company’s software. For about a month I’ve been manually inviting people who sign up to our beta to this group. The process was simple:
A user sign up for the beta.
I copy the user’s email adress.
I go to the Beta Testers group on Discourse, click “Add user”, and paste the email.
They get notified by email and join our forum.
This process had been working perfectly for about 2 months now (there’s currently 70 users in that group), until today. Now whenever I try to add a new email to the Beta Testers group, I get this error:
I get this with any email I try. Did this feature just randomly break? As I said earlier, there are 70 users on that group right now, which means I did this process 70 times and it worked perfectly. It seems like the only other way I could add new users to the group now would be to create an invite link, and then personally email them myself. But I don’t want to email them myself.
It looks like this commit made it so that emails cannot be used in that modal to add users to a group. @dan Is there a way to add an existing user to a group via email anymore? I see how you made the invite feature more prominent inside the invite modal, but I worry that we took out useful functionality.
