2026.21
Release Date: 29.09.2026
Highlights
Adjust where affiliation is shown
Affiliation was shown in email and the notification system inconsistently. Affiliation is now never shown in emails, whether or not the affiliation field is enabled, and no longer shows in the notification center.
A user’s configured affiliation still shows on activity streams (home, explore, group and profile streams, and the dashboard stream block), now as its own text next to the author's name rather than inside the author link, linking to the affiliated group or organization when the reader is allowed to see that hub.
Affiliation now disappears everywhere on the platform when the affiliation field is disabled in Social Profile Fields, when the member hides it through profile privacy, or when no group type has "Enable affiliation for Groups" turned on. Free-text (non-platform) affiliations follow the same rule.
Resolved issues & Changes
- The User API now includes the flexible groups a person is a member of. Only groups the requesting account is allowed to see are returned. Unpublished groups are not included.
- Fixed an issue where Video Recording appeared as a Resource Library media type even though event recordings cannot show in the resource library. BigBlueButton recordings stay on events; they are no longer listed under Resource Library settings.
- Fixed an issue where re-saving existing Resource Library content could send update notifications to community members.
Fixed an issue where albums that belong to more than one group showed extra pages, so you could not always return to the first page of a group's album list.
