Get Together Questions
How do I create a meeting?
First off, you need to be the organizer of a group which means either creating a group of your own or having one transferred to you by its current organizer. Once this hurdle has been crossed you will notice that the Group Profile, whenever you look at it, now has a bunch of buttons in the upper right hand corner. Seek out the Create Meeting button, click it and fill out the form this brings up.
Pay close attention to the very last field on this page, the Release Field. You can only release a meeting once because when you do it will send out messages to all the members and joiners of the group telling them that a new meeting has been created. When they click the link in the Correspondence center this will take them to the meeting profile page where they can click a button to tell everyone whether or not they will make it.
Afterwards the meeting, whether the player decides to go to it or not, will show up on the front page of the site as well as the My Get Togethers page. These will tell people just how long it is until the meeting happens. However no message will be sent out as a last minute reminder of it. If you feel your groups needs this sort of encouragement, try using the Contact button on the group profile page.
You might also wish to try changing the group's contact method to email. This causes the Contact button to load your message into a standard email form addressed to the members in your group.
How do I edit or delete a meeting?
The easiest way is to go the My Get Togethers page. If you are the organizer of the group which is hosting the meeting then three buttons will appear just beyond the icons of those players wishing to attend. Their titles are pretty self explanatory.
When you edit a meeting, no notice of your changes will be sent to the players in your group.
When you delete a meeting, if it was scheduled to occur in the future then a message announcing its cancellation will be sent to all members of the group.
How do I tell the group I will attend a meeting? Or not.
Go to the meeting's profile page, look for a box that says Members Attending and click the I Will Make It button. The page will reload and your icon will appear in the box. Click the Can't Make It button and your icon will be taken out of the box - it's just that easy! No messages are sent to anyone in either case.
What's the difference between a get together and a meeting?
There is none. The two are interchangeable.
