Well, there definitely is a difference between public and "you can see the messages but you haven't properly joined" because with the latter it won't let me get files or anything. It's kind of like a public group without joining, I guess - where you can see the messages but you can't access anything else.

:thumbs-up: I'll be sure to edit my responses appropriate for the groups where that's happening, then, once you've got that implemented. At least that'll indicate that those groups are aware of the situation and may want the archives to go somewhere. (I'm going to be storing my backups in a private Mega.nz folder and giving direct links to whichever moderators request them. Though if they want the db3s I'll have to figure out how to remove my password from the file first.)
