was this feature added?? Thanks

any idea when next year this will be added?
Will you also be adding the ability to post event pictures within that event and have them simultaneously saved to a photo gallery area?
my group is really not using the website like I had hoped because of these 2 missing functions :-(

yes! please add this functionality as soon as you can! My group is moving to Wild Apricot from meetup.com. Though meetup.com has many inconvenient and non-user friendly aspects, it does have the nice feature to allow commenting within each individiual event. Our events too are primarily social, and it's important for us to be able to easily communicate with attendees about last minute changes, etc.
We are still in a trial free subscription with Wild Apricot. I wonder if not having this functionality that our members have used so much on meetup.com, will prevent us from moving over to Wild Apricot permanently.

I would like to see this for our club as well. We have used Meetup, but may be discontinuing with the move to Wild Apricot. It would give our members a chance to comment on events as they can now with MU.

5) If a registrant changes her/his/their registration status their forum subscription status would change accordingly.

This proposal is to provide a degree of integration between events and forums.

When an event is created include an option to create a forum thread associated with that event.

1) A hyperlink to the forum would become a part of the event's page or embedded in the event's description.

2) The event organizer would be subscribed to the forum as a moderator.

3) Subject to the visibility of the forum thread, registrants to the event would be subscribed to the forum. If the forum is visible to the public then a setting would allow either all attendees to be subscribed to the forum or the subscription could be limited to exclude non-members, members of particular levels, and/or guests. If the forum has less visibility than public then those registrants outside the event's visibility would be automatically excluded from the forum but the options would remain to exclude those registrants who are inside the forum's visibility.

3) If the event is rescheduled then the forum would receive notification of the new date and its header would indicate the rescheduled date and update its header accordingly.

4) If the event is deleted (since 'canceled' is not currently an event state, which come to think of it, it should be) then the forum would receive notification of the 'cancelation' and its header would be updated accordingly.

Most of our events are organized at the grass roots rather than serve as formal occasions. Discussion and participation among the registrants actually adds to the content of the event, to the sense of community among our members, and, when posted on a publicly visible forum, will greatly serve to excite prospective members toward joining our organization (especially when listserv makes the forums themselves vital).

Please add the ability to allow comments on individual events. The current functionality of the blog comments feature, would work well for events.

1 - comments are per event, not all events (even in a series or for repeating events (if/when that functionality is added in the future))
2 - allow comment threading so replies are under the initial comment
3 - notify attendees when comments/replies have been made

I have attached images showing how comments work on Meetup events and on Wild Apricot blog posts.

We would like this feature as well. We have outgrown Meetup for our organization which is why we are transitioning to WA, but nearly all of our events have comments of some kind on them.

Try using a commenting system plugin - I'm in the process of experimenting with Disqus to achieve a similar outcome to what you have described.

While this may not suit all your requirements as laid out (especially as you would probably have to add this to each of your events), it is an option if you're in a hurry to have this feature on your site
