Hi Richard,
The tutor who first reported the problem to me was one of our early adopters, and had been using Mahara since 1.2 - but he only picked up on the issue at start of term after we moved to 1.4, so it's possible it wasn't working earlier but I'd have thought it would have been noticed quicker as his group activity is prolific.

I guess having notifications sent to the group by default would be the
prefered option (if the checkbox is ticked) as having to go in manually
to remove then re-enable group share seems a bit messy. I agree about
the notifications being sent too early though - had encountered that
before. Would it be possible to suppress the notification until the page
creator clicks save - and at that time trigger the notifications to any
users added?

I'd wonder whether you'd actually need to prevent notifications on a group homepage - unless it triggers a new e-mail every time there is a change. Might be useful to be sent a link to the group homepage as soon as you're added to the group, but doing that during group creation would be tricky as when users are added depends entirely on how access is controlled.
Thanks, Gordon.
