Description

If you define an area which overlaps a group's you can click through to a group's page (that link is obscure, as mentioned in another report). If you then click JOIN THIS GROUP, that's not what happens. Instead you get taken to a page where you have to press a further button to submit a request.

I think (a) the green button should read ASK TO JOIN THIS GROUP or similar, and (b) it should just do it, not add a second redundant step - it should just show a page that confirms the request has been sent.

Research direction

Reproduce the flow by defining an overlapping area, opening the group page, and selecting JOIN THIS GROUP; inspect the request page and its confirmation behavior. Rename the button to indicate that it asks to join, submit the request in one step, and retain a page confirming that the request was sent.
