  This is a TERRIBLE idea. Organisers spend a long time putting all the relevant information into event descriptions and need people to READ IT before deciding to come along - just in case they are not suitable, the event is not suitable etc etc. Whoever came up with this idea has no idea what kinds of meetups other people set up - events for which you need qualifications or detailed understanding before agreeing to go.

  This is a BAD idea. I think no organizer would want this unless the event is a trivial one like "meet us at the beach".

  I suppose I wouldn't mind if you could RSVP NO with a "mouse over" - but as an organizer of a group of 1500 people you can imagine the pain we'd get if everyone "No"d every event they aren't going to attend.

  I think this is a bad idea. If you haven't got 3 seconds to click on a link, you don't have a couple of hours to spare at a meetup. People who RSVP without reading the description are the bane of the organizer. They are always asking multiple questions that are completely covered in the Meetup description and then they don't even bother to show up (or change their RSVP).

  I like the idea of fewer clicks, but only if the full event information pops up. My members need to understand the details of an event (including our RSVP and No Show policy) before taking a space at it.

  I definitely agree, as an organizer that way too many people just click yes without reading the details and it makes for an ugly mess sometimes.

  I would like to see a listing of events and a check box system as a scroll down list, If a member looks at their calendar and cannot make an event, then they check no and the event fades out with an option button to "I change my mind".

  If a person check yes, then the host should be notified, the event description should open up in another tab and have to be read in full to be confirmed that they are aware of the event information. (tabs can be left unread until checks for one month are complete)

  There's no reason a description of the event couldn't be included in the lightbox along with the RSVP form.

  Personally, I think it is too "clicky" to RSVP for events, and anything that makes it possible to RSVP without actually navigating to another page. And for the people using pointerless devices this could always be implemented as a link for users to click on (but instead of going to the event page, it pops up the same lightbox that others see when they hover over it).

  Please make this OPTIONAL. We already have way too many people clicking YES but without reading the details or answering our sometimes mandatory questions.

  The mouse-over event does not function on iPads and mobile phones since there is no moveable pointer. This also applies to other touch-based events.

  I'm all for more convenience here. I have several groups that have recurring events. I know what the description is as it never changes and i just want to be able to say yes or no quickly. I'd even be happy if it didn't have a hover, it could just be a check or x mark like LinkedIn uses for invitations. You have the option to see what they wrote to you but if you know the person you can quickly accept or reject without wasting your time.

  Surely all anyone has to do is RSVP yes, no RSVP is as good as a no RSVP. If there are too many events to RSVP no to, just don't RSVP

  I agree that this would be a nice option to have and let the group decide if they want to use it.

  I guess in my group, we have a lot of events nearly every day of the week and sometimes multiple events in a given day. And it just becomes a very time-consuming process to have to go into each and every event to RSVP with all of the many clicks that are currently involved. It's not that a member would not have the interest, or make the time to read a full event description, but when it comes to a calendar, either someone is available for that date, or not. If I look at a particular week, and I know that I am not available for the events listed at particular times, why should I have to take that extra time to go into each and every event at the full extent just to RSVP no (or yes, for that matter). Some events are repeat events, and it's not necessary to read the full description. Then again, remember, isn't convenience a positive ??? and being able to do things more quickly only frees you up to do more things, or read more descriptions, or RSVP to more events? I don't see how this can be a drawback, or a "disaster". There is no guarantee that even if a member clicks into an event to RSVP, the way it currently is, that they're going to read the description anyway. Just because they're there doesn't mean they have time to read. If anything, it is the adverse where they don't have the time, and end up not RSVPing at all. That sounds more detrimental to the process than anything. I'm merely suggesting a way to speed things up for the members who do like to stay current and active, but without bogging them down with extraneous clicks.

  i really don't like this idea. if it is implemented, make it so organisers etc can disable it. it is hard enough getting people to actually read event descriptions as it is... plus if a member doesn't commit to an event enough to go to the description, how likely are they to turn up? This "feature" has disaster written all over it.

  can mouseovers (javascript) be included in an email? that doesn't sound possible.

  It's a good idea, and worth a try. My only concern would be with members not reading the full body text of an event.
