Hi Mike,

I'm afraid that Organizers won't be able to change the color of the group's text boxes. The cosmetic changes we've made to the platform are designed to ensure the site is easy to read and accessible to all members and across all platforms (including mobile). We're sorry if you're disappointed.

You can read more about how you can customize the pages on your Meetup Group by clicking here:
http://meetu.ps/StkhR

We want your Meetups to be super successful and as accessible and easy to navigate as possible for all members, which is why we're standardizing certain settings like text colors and fonts. We hope you understand. We will be watching carefully behind the scenes to ensure that's the case.

For more advanced Organizers, there are still many ways to customize the pages on their Meetup Groups:
http://meetu.ps/StkhR

Again, the changes will be in effect for all Meetup Groups on April 30th.

Please keep us posted. If you're experiencing any difficulties with managing your tools or your members, let us know. We're here to help in any way we can.

Description of Bug:

Recently, our meetup site settings changed and as President of the Southeastern Photographic Society (http://www.meetup.com/sps-meetup), I am getting a lot of heat for it. People DO NOT like the change of our background from black to white. We are the largest group of photographers in Atlanta, GA, and photographers are a funny bunch and really are not taking well at all to this change. My site organizer says that he has no control over the site background. I consider this a bug.

Mike Boatright, President, Southeastern Photographic Society

Expected Result:

Background should not have been changed, certainly not without out our say so in the matter, and the option for us to set it ourselves is absolutely critical.
