This is the 2nd time in two weeks that this happened, so It can't be my imagination.

I approved a member for a "Request Only" Group, their icon disappeared from the "Pending Members" list, and I posted a "welcome" in the Group to them. Days later, when I checked another new membership request, that other individual's icon was back in the "Pending Members" list .. although I'd never gotten a notice that they'd left the Group, accidentally or on purpose!

Have any other Group Owners experienced that?

Yes happens all the time in my group...... members seem to disapear, and then somehow they are able to get back in without approval, and my group is also approval only...I once noticed while I was on line working, a box popped open with a message that said, so and so has joined issues& elections.... I was thinking, how can they join when first I must approve them, then had noticed it was someone who had disapeared days earlier, and was able to rejoin without being approved...............very strange....

who controls aarp software issues? do they even care ? this has been going on quite awhile, with no resolve in sight, and no one doing anything about it.....

oh well the powers that be probably have the mind set that oh well its only seniors, what do they know.

Its getting old... they need to fix the problem, and they also need to allow group owners to have control of their own groups.. such as deleting posts, and topics, banning disruptive members.... My question is this.. does AARP think seniors need to be supervised ? if thats the case,  Its an insult.

Im not a senior yet, but to me it looks like they think seniors are helpless, and it really makes me mad... and needs to stop
