  • Send you an email with an attachment to add the meetup to your personal calendar
  • Notify you in the future if the meetup organiser changes anything.

Clicking the yellow Thinking about it button will:

  • Notify the meetup organiser that you’re interested and following the meetup, but as yet still unconfirmed
  • Add your name to the Might attend list
  • Send you an email with an attachment to add the meetup to your personal calendar
  • Notify you in the future if the meetup organiser changes anything.

Clicking the blue Add useful markers? will allow you to attach some additional and useful map markers on the meetup for things like parking, seating, eating outlets, etc.

Is it intentional that the Locations layer is turned off when I click from a forum link to a meetup?
Chrome on W11, have dronescene open with Location layer enabled (A) and another tab with a meetup thread open. Click the meetup thread link and it opens a new tab (B) zoomed to the meetup site. Refresh the tab that already had dronescene open, refresh and Locations is unchecked.

Ticked Locations and refreshed the tab, all OK. Go to B and refresh the tab then to A and refresh, Locations layer turned off.

Yes. Both the Members and the Locations map layers are automatically turned off to declutter the map of icons.
