Introducing event conversations
A number of event organisers have asked for an easier way to contact everyone who RSVPs to an event. So we’ve added event conversations. Now, when you create a new event (and it has been approved by a network coordinator), we’ll automatically create a private message here on Talk for that event.
- The conversation will include the person who creates the event and anyone who RSVPs will be added automatically.
- The subject line of the event conversation will be the name you gave to your event. The first message will be the event description.
- Event conversations are private message threads on Talk and work in the same way. That means, by default, everyone included in a message will receive an email notification every time someone posts in the conversation. If you’d like to change your personal settings, you can do this in your email preferences.
- You can find the conversation for your events in your Talk inbox or on the page for that event:
Other new features
- You can now filter the list of all events on the events page by name, country and date
Localisation
- Your language preference will now be carried across to the Wiki too.
Bug fixes
- Cancelled events no longer contribute the full number of hours to your ‘hours volunteered’ stats
- We went around with our code spanner, fixing broken links, helping the login button accommodate French and making other small tweaks.
