I would like to offer a suggestion for the Groups pages after having a small issue recently, and that is to have a follow-up ‘Are you sure you want to leave Group?’ query box come up if you click a ‘Leave Group’ button.
I view and use LibraryThing on my mobile phone to read/partake in Group conversations, and was doing this recently when my phone slipped in my hand and I accidentally clicked the very large ‘Leave Group’ button. This obviously resulted in me instantly leaving the group. In this instance, not only did I not want to leave, but rejoining wasn’t an instant fix option because the Group was one that you have to be an approved member of to comment in the discussions. To rectify the issue, I not only had to send a rejoin request, but also personally email a friend associated with the administrator of the Group to nudge the rejoin request along after it had not been responded to.
I think that a standard failsafe ‘Are you sure’ click box such as those found in multiple sites and programmes when a deletive process is being opted for would be a good idea and totally negate the problem I had.
Failing that, maybe a far less huge button not being right at the start of each group page would be another option. Prrhaps a smaller button at the bottom of the page, rather like you get with email unsubscribe buttons, would be better. Presently, the overly-large button on the mobile phone version is placed right where you need to start finger scrolling pages, making it too easy to accidentally press.

Added a confirmation on this so that when you click the button it should ask "Are you sure?"
