*** Issue 89815 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** See #90373 - Macs cannot handle HTML in menu labels. I'm using it and loving it! Yes, I use it too, but two users is not enough. :-) Yarda said he would soon send me the log information that has been collected so far about it, which includes info on who uses advanced mode, what kinds of groups they use, how many groups with how many projects, etc. Created attachment 43810 [details]
Logs of usage so far
Informal browsing of the current anonymous usage logs (attached) shows most people using autosynch free groups, typically containing 5-20 projects each. I saw a few non-autosynch free groups, and a few directory groups. Jano suggests: "I'm fine with keeping the advanced mode. Just remove the "Advanced" menu item. In the dialog, put the Name field to the top with a bigger spacing spacing between the name field and radio buttons." For the future it may be preferable to move the less-common options into an optional section loaded with an "Advanced>>" button so as not to overload typical users.
