Weekly release: March 11, 2008

Hi there folks,

Our next upgrade will go out Tuesday and will include the following:

Past meeting page update
We've updated the past meeting page so that you and your members can share your memories and experiences after the meeting happens! The look of the page has been refreshed and you will now be able to add photos and post comments on each and every past meeting page. Organizers will still be able to take attendance, and organizers and members will still be able to rate each meeting.

Rotating logo & bug fixes
The Meetup logo that appears in the top left corner of the Meetup.com site will rotate on each page load. And we made a bunch of behind-the-scenes bug fixes.

Till next time!
Maya

Thanks for the heads up Maya! I am looking forward to seeing the new past meeting pages.

Rotating logo & bug fixes
The Meetup logo that appears in the top left corner of the Meetup.com site will rotate on each page load.

Could you clarify that? Will it be 'rotating' as a non-intrusive watermark or a pop-up that users will want to click to make go away, or neither or both?

Bringing back some old functionality from a few years ago. The handwritten Meetup logo used to change to different versions of handwriting (collected from many users, employees, and others). Tiny bit of work that someone undertook as a really quick and easy undertaking.

Cool Greg. I remember that and I am looking forward to seeing it back!!!

Thanks for the heads up. I appreciate it and look forward to seeing the changes when they roll out.

Love the past event update!!!! Really cool and I used it some today! I also like the rotating logo, while it serves no real purpose it is a nice change on every page.

Aha...! You mean the text in the logo's rotating, not the logo itself.

Painless.... and adds a dynamic feel to the site...

Hi
What happened to the 'info' link for venue? I used to be able to see how folks rated a venue.. seems to be gone now.

Thank you for looking into this.

p.s logo looks great :)

the past event page upgrade is a very cool new feature!

I wonder which are the bugs fixed. One of the most important ones I am aware of is right after creating an event, when you email members. ALL the text formatting is lost! If you used Bold, Italics, underline, color, html tags, etc whatever you used in the event description to embellish it and complete the information (like, inserting a picture with [img] tags), all disappears when you get to the send email to members section.

thanks for the upgrades!
