I have an idea for group notifications..... because most users over time will belong to 25 groups, everyone is probably getting a lot of notices (usually at logon). .... however most notices relate to either a future event, or some form of announcement relating to the group....

but the event related notices are not effective. They give a mention of an event in the future, but users rarely keep track of the events they may want to attend.

Here's what I suggest:
A group notice feature: One would be able to declare a notice as an event notice.. if selected, fields would appear:

Event: (this would be the title)
When: (date & SLT)
Where: (coordinates... perhaps you could even drag/drop a LM)
and then message body.

Then... and most importantly... because this is an event notice, when a user receives an event notice, there is a 'notify' button. (just as there is a notify button when you view an event in search) ... This way, users would receive a notify when the event is going to take place, mentioned in the notice.

good idea? LL, can ya do it?

I second that e-motion, Doubledown.

There's something inherently bizarre about jotting down SL events on my RL calendar (yes, I really have done it), not to mention how downright un-fun it is to drag out the old Daytimer when logging on.

Yep ... a notify button would be most useful and greatly appreciated!

Thanks for bumpin this one!

The group notices for events are currently not too effective.

Having all of the text in the title, plus having a notify button would be great!
