Hi Alexander,

When you're on a group's page, the sign up (the "join us" button) is for you to specifically join the group. If you don't have a Meetup account we'll create one as a part of that process, but the goal on the group pages is for you to join the group you're interested in.

The only way to register for Meetup.com without joining a group is to go to the link at the top right of the page that says "register" or to sign up for an email alert on a Meetup topic you're interested in.

I hope that clears things up? Let me know if it doesn't.

Hey Tadej,

Glad to hear that Meetup plays a positive role in your life! I checked on a few of the issues you brought up:

Leaving a group
We centralize all membership information and functions like this in the account section. We definitely don't want the process of leaving a group to be too slippery and simple (in case of user error), and there are somewhat negative connotations to putting 'Leave this Group' links on every single group profile page. So, all of these options are centralized.

To leave a group go to "account" and click on "membership and communications" from the left-nav. You'll see the option to leave the group beneath the group name.

"I want to change my picture for all events at the same time. Now it seems I can only do it one by one"
I hope that I'm understanding your question correctly - but I assume you're talking about your profile picture? You can only change the photo across all groups if you haven't gone into a specific group and changed it. If you have already enabled a specific photos on different group profiles, we won't globally change all of them for you. I hope that makes sense. I played around with it and definitely realize that it's confusing and will bring that up.

"I would further suggest a better distinction between what is actually a group profile and a general Meetup.com profile."
We hear you. We're working on this. :-)

I hope that this helped and thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. I will share it with the rest of the team.

- Viviane.

sorry Tadej that you had trouble. Would you share what specifically you were having troubles with?

If you've created a new group, they have to join the group. You can't automatically add them. But once they've joined and you've created an event, you can change their RSVPs by clicking the "Edit RSVPs" link below the text "Who's Coming?"
