So info on location, price and time may be a ways down the road.

For those close enough to drive and stay a night or two, maybe a dollar a day will get you there. Others may need to save $100 a week (per person even!). Start your LP Meet Fund 'cause we want to see you there!
Originally Posted By LuLu Geez... still not fixed! knight, I like your idea, but even if that were possible and something Doobie would be willing to set up for me, the topic would fall down quickly in the list, as it would need new posts to keep it bumped up. (I was told before that there's no such thing as "sticky" topics on LP, that could stay at the top of the list.) It's a tough call, as the energy and excitement of posts about upcoming meets is fun, but sometimes the number of silly posts make it hard for people to find information.
Originally Posted By knightnfrees Hmm, I didn't think about the decending list, LuLu. Perhaps Doobie knows a way to program it to automatically bump, say every week perhaps? Or he could do it manually, I suppose. Then there's the old fashioned way. Select MEETS and then All Messages, if one feels so inclined.
