Updates from December

These new changes are so confusing to me. Last night when I posted events I later realized it had asutomatically RSVPed me as a YES to everything. How do I change that?

Also, most of my events are limited, and now you can't see this! Am I missing something?

Hi Jennifer!

These new changes are so confusing to me. Last night when I posted events I later realized it had asutomatically RSVPed me as a YES to everything. How do I change that?

I'm afraid that you cannot disable the auto-RSVP function, that's a new feature. It's meant to be for your convenience. It's also encouraging to fellow members too!

This really isn't helpful in my opinion either. It's more of a inconvenience if anything. I do not attend all 60 plus events in a month and I do plan most of them and my AO's do not attend each event they go to. I think its rather annoying to HAVE to rsvp to an event. It should allow us to check yes, no, or maybe right off rather than automated "yes".

Also, most of my events are limited, and now you can't see this! Am I missing something?

You aren't actually missing anything. The limits are there, however, expected attendees will only display if there are more than 5 people who've RSVP'd yes or maybe for the event.

The 'There's only room for XYZ more' notification will only display if the number of available spots is less than one half of the total RSVP limit.


What purpose does this serve?? I have many people emailing me saying that the event says limit of say 10 but the "expected number is 6" they are confused. I know my group can't be the only one having this issue. So I have people on the No list as the waiting list when they could RSVP yes but it seems they can't due to the So and So numbers. Again this seems senseless. Why not have Limit: 10 Members and Expected Members: 6 so people aren't so confused.

Also why will it only display if 5 or more are rsvp'd, sometimes the limits are 3 to 5 ugh just another frustration added on. Sorry to vent but I really don't get half the upgrades and while 50% were great the others were not useful.

Still think there needs to be the OPTION of a Other block for the "Host" because I and many many others have stated the orgs nor the AO's are always the host nor going to be there.

I hope that make sense!

If I can clarify further, please let me know.

Thanks,

Andrea

Thanks for the info, Andrea (meetup), but I agree with the other Andrea. What a pain to have to go back in and change my RSVP every time. And I post stuff a month or two in advance, so how am I suppose to definately know if I am going to go or not?
Also, I have had several people email me because they thought I didn't put a limit on their event, when in actuality they couldn't see it yet because onyl a few people have RSVPed.
These changes are more of an inconvenience!

I wonder if there is a way to disable the "shout out" feature on the site. I think it's way too impersonal. If someone wants to contact another member, they should just email them through the site. With shout out, EVERYONE gets to read the messages you write to the other person.

I recently had someone join one of my sites and it seems as though they did a shout out to ALL of the women. To me, that send out very bad signals.

Meetup keeps making changes to the site, but I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. They should just leave well enough alone.

Not sure if this is the proper place to drop off suggestion for furture updates but here it goes. I would like to see a search eng. where weare able to locate members within the Meetup system. I have a list of people which Meetup says live in my aea but I can not click on a link to take me to that persons page to invite them to my group(s).

I would like know as I have asked customer service to respond 3 times now and they haven?t but did they remove the ability to add pictures within the event description there used to be a way to include in under the link tab
