What new feature would you like to see on Meetup, and why?

Get calendar to work on export to new Yahoo calendar. Puts in one day ahead and wrong time. Day late for a meetup the other day--ANGRY!!

Since Yahoo changed their calendar a few months ago the Export to Calendar function has not worked. It always tries to set the wrong date--one day ahead and in the AM (maybe it's trying to use GST now that I think about it???). If you don't catch it that's a huge problem--as in I was a day late for a book discussion earlier in the week. VERY annoying! PLEASE please fix!!!

        The problem lies with Yahoo!, not Meetup. I contacted Yahoo, and they told me the default time is Greenwich Mean Time unless the user selects another time zone. (However, Yahoo does not provide a means to do this.) The CSR said that I had one chance to set my prefererd time zone, and the window of opportunity is now closed, so I must manually re-set the date each time I export an event to the Yahoo! calendar. BS. I'm switching to Google.

        I think what's happening is that Meetup sends a GST time and Yahoo interprets it as local time.
        On the other hand, I can't get export to Google calendar work at all.
