Troubleshooting

I see “Error leaving the group”

Leaving didn’t go through: try again.

I can’t see Leave group

The panel isn’t shown to the group’s leader (administrator): ask the community to hand the group to someone else.

I can’t see the Settings tab

The tab appears only to active members: if your request is still pending, you’re not a member yet.
