Society for the Prevention of Unnecessarily Inefficient Meetup Planning

daisyace — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 09:57:55 -0800

Doodle, an easy little tool for picking future meetup dates. You set up an event with a number of possible dates. You post the link. Other people who want to attend add their names to get rows, and click all the dates that work for them. It tallies the dates that work best. No registration required. The link above goes to a fake meetup, not a real event, just so you can get a feel for how it works. Okay, begin the deluge of all the other sites I don't know about that do this easier and better. Or, if not, someone feel free to post this one to MeFi (where I haven't commented enough to earn the privilege), on the condition that you forward all ensuing favorites to my account.

Meetup Calendar Feature Requests

carsonb — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 16:27:04 -0800

On the Add a new meetup to the Calendar page ground rule #1 states, Someone proposes a meetup in the gatherings category, people mull over a location and a date. Eventually an actual date and location is proposed, then people start saying if they're coming or not. It would be neat if there were (optional) entry fields for date and location and maybe location URL, and also neat if adding a meetup to the calendar posted a comment or notification in the thread stating all available specific details. I'm imagining—if not a comment at the bottom of the thread (that the sidebar calendar linked to)—a mini-sidebar inside the thread that listed the meetup details. I can also conceive of problems surrounding changing the information when the information is changing. What else is amiss with this idea? What would make it work better? Are things peachy as they are?

Hotlinked Dates

PonyRequest: Can the dates at the top of threads be hotlinked? Example: I would like to be able to click on "October 4, 2002" at the top of this thread to see all the posts from this day.

Time Zone Problem

wilful — Tue, 04 Apr 2006 00:12:57 -0800

Why is the time wrong, as I view it? Sitting here on the Australian east coast, it's 5:10 pm, or UTC + 10, which is how my preferences are set. So what's the Metafilter setting, where's it gone wrong?

Time Zone Problem

Time Zone problem? My prefs are set to display the Eastern TZ, yet I'm seeing everying in PT. I think this is a recent phenomenon, though I may have just missed it before.

Time Zone Problem

Bug: The posts on the front page (www) all have my correct timezone. However, posts to Metatalk and Ask are all reported as PST. Can you please make them in terms of my configured timezone?

Time Zones

Posting to bugs, but not sure if there's something I'm missing - I can set my preferences to GMT or whatever the other abbreviation is, and this shows up on the MeFi front page but not on AskMeFi and MetaTalk. Am I missing something?

Time-zone custom settings don't work properly for AskMe or MeTa, you California-centric bastard.

My timezone doesn't work now.

Time Zone Issue

The clocks went forward an hour in the UK at the weekend, so the GMT timing on posts is now an hour too early ...

I'm not seeing my time zone on the home page, or on comment pages — I'm seeing PST.

a little calendar of upcoming MetaFilter events

mcwetboy — Sun, 24 Nov 2002 19:19:07 -0800

Sorry to be posting again so soon, but, pursuant to Smart Dalek's request, I've put together a little calendar of upcoming MetaFilter events in iCal format. Nothing too fancy, just me manually adding events to the calendar as I receive them. Nothing is on the calendar yet, so submit something, already. Details on subscribing to (if you use iCal on Mac OS X 10.2.1 or later) or viewing the calendar are here. Hope you like it.

Time Zone Display

ajbattrick — Tue, 29 May 2001 01:35:53 -0800

Is there any chance the time can be displayed in the top right hand corner in metafilter again?

It's disapeared, I'm in GMT, and so I cannot work out how old the threads are.

Either that, or is it possible to display all the times in GMT, or let the user choose which timezone they want displaying? Fanks very much.

TimeZone Bug

MetaFilter from the future. Says up at the top there (and on this post) that it's 1:41 PM PST. Not for another hour, I think. It is, however, 1:41 PM PDT.
