Week 1 Release: March 2008

The voting now dictates which ones appear on the home page, but they are still randomized as a second filter. So, if there are two quotes with the most votes (let's say 10 and 9 votes respectively), these will always appear. But if there are no votes, or multiple quotes with the most votes, it still randomizes (say, 20 quotes with 1 vote each.)

As I read that back, it sounds confusing. Hope it makes sense.

Okay - big problem with the voting now. Every time a member fills out a new survey, all votes for her comment are removed, even if she doesn't change her comment. So the comments with the most votes are from our less active members. To get the good comments back up to the top, we have to keep voting over and over and over again on the same comments. What a waste of time!

You're all correct about the randomizing - it's a bug. The above issue might be a bug too. It shouldn't erase votes if you don't change your comment. Will be tested and fixed soon.

Thanks.

AMAZING!!!

Your Meetup.com marketing people, management and software developers should be brought into Trump's Boardroom and be fired!

Why don't you enlist the help of some of your customers so that you would get your boat steered in the right direction. Giving the customers what we want! Simple... Recruit several small groups of Organizers based on the various sizes. Small, medium, large and extra large so that all the meetup groups are fairly represented and can give you feedback.

Please give us features we ask for... beg for... instead of stupid tweaks and features the majority of your paying customers (Organizers) hate!

The rating comments is so lame. Plus it cannot work for us as we have so many events each month (20+) who's going to waste their time rating comments? Also we have hundreds and hundreds of comments, so if you want the group to have a decision as to which comments will be shown... Simply give that power to the Organizer or AO's so they can choose which ones will be featured on the site. It is much better than simply having veto power of deletion if we don't like which comments are bubbling up to the top. But I doubt many of my members would take the time to read and rate the many hundreds of comments. In the 1.7 years my poker group has been in existence, it's already had 241 events, say 3 comments per event (usually many more in the past) so that's about 800 comments to rate....

Good going Meetup.com... another brilliant idea!

Please give us a Waiting List, Event Host Membership level, Allow more than 200 Friends to our profiles...

Stop with the downgrades please.

It's not a huge problem, but the quotes on the Welcome page don't rotate anymore. It's always the same 2 quotes for the last 100 page loads. Good thing for me is they are good quotes!

I noticed this too. This adds an extra degree of boredom to the Welcome page and makes it look like only two people have ever commented on the group! I really don't think members are going out of their way to vote on comments. I'm happy enough when they actually show up at an event. nevermind having them vote on comments.

I would prefer that we return to the randomized, organizer-approved comments.

What happened to the ratings? I see that members are rating the events; but, I can't view the ratings.

It was a great feature to be able to see how successful events were; but, now if that information is available I sure cant' find it. I'd imagine users can't either.

If an Organizer doesn't bug the crap out of their members to go to the comments page and agree, then it looks like none of the members agree with the comments!

Having positive comments that no one agrees with is worse than having no comments at all. I, for one, am NOT going to direct my members to vote for comments by sending them EVEN MORE e-mail, and most of them wouldn't take the time to do it anyway -- even the ones that LOVE my meetup groups!

When, oh when, will our input carry any weight? At least we got the meetup rating back the way it was -- the upgrade that removed it sucked!
