Great idea! I can't wait to use it.
Happy Fourth of July! I hope you have a great time with friends and family this weekend and that your dog makes it through all the fireworks without too much emotional damage! In honor of the holiday, here's 30 more reasons to celebrate! Check out these new looks you can give your sign ups!
I haven't had time to blog this week because I've been working hard to finalize the new "My Account" page and "My Calendar" page. We've had a number of users ask for these changes and we really wanted to make sure that the functionality took a major step forward. I'm happy to announce that these upgrades are now live!
Actually... looking at it now, I can't believe the site made it this far without these functionalities because they just make a ton of sense. Here's what's new:
You can now see a simple list of everything you signed up for on the My Account page. No more clicking through to every sign up to see what you are responsible for.
Old sign ups (those with dates in the past) are now automatically archived. They are still accessible, but your My Account page conveniently shows you only the events that are taking place in the future (because we find it difficult to participate in events that have already happened!).
You now have the ability to customize your view of the My Account page. View the sign ups as icons, as a list, in a specific order, or open and close certain categories completely. Go crazy... it's your page and you should see it how you want to!
Members can now view all related sign up dates in a calendar view. Sort your calendar by category and then click on each event for quick pop-up details or to link directly to the sign up.

New build 2.57
A couple small but useful items were recently added to SignUpGenius. The biggest news is that sign up creators now have the ability to work with group email aliases as part of their SignUpGenius email groups. Previously, entering a group alias (like a yahoogroups or googlegroups address that points to numerous people) could cause notification problems -- especially if an individual accidentally signed up for something using that address. We now have safeguards in place to prevent sign ups from a group alias --including the specific ability for a sign up creator to flag an email as a group alias when they enter it. Follow the simple directions when you create your sign up or group and it is now safe to use your group email alias!
Here are a few other new items you might spot:
The create a sign up wizards now have an upgraded WYSIWYG editor for the description field that is compatible with the Mac Safari browser
An upgraded "My Groups" page now allows you to sort your group for easier identification of a particular user. In addition, this page is now a standard web page instead of a pop-up window... which allows for easier viewing of all the members in your group.
An upgraded "Send Email" page now allows sign up creators to view a preview of their bulk email before sending it to their selected group of users.
February wasn't all candy and roses for the staff here at SignUpGenius. We've been working hard on a number of fun upgrades! Check out some of these recently added items:
Planning Resources: A new site section with helpful tips and articles for group organizers
Community Features: You can now add your comments to any article and join the conversation!
