Your group’s homepage is getting a new look: a grid of widgets you can arrange yourself. The group’s Organizer makes the first call on when to switch. After that, anyone whose role lets them manage the group’s settings can switch it on or off until January 1, 2027, when every group moves to the new homepage.

What’s New

The new homepage is a grid of widgets. Each widget shows one thing, like your next event, your game collection or your links. Members and visitors all see the same grid. On a phone, your tabs sit in a dock at the bottom of the screen. To reorder them, use Edit Menu on a computer.

Who Decides

The Organizer decides first. Once the group has made its first choice, either Try It Now or Not Yet, Co-Organizers and anyone else whose role lets them manage the group’s settings can switch the homepage on or off in Group Settings, in either direction. The choice is for the whole group. When it changes, every member and every visitor sees the change, including people who aren’t signed in.

Trying It for the First Time

When the Organizer opens the group’s page for the first time, a window titled The New Homepage Is Here appears: Closing the window with the X counts as Not Yet. Clicking outside the window does nothing. Co-Organizers and other group leaders don’t see this window. Until the Organizer chooses, the Group Homepage card in Group Settings tells them: “Your organizer decides first. Once they do, you can switch the homepage here.”

The Tour

The first time anyone whose role lets them manage the group’s settings opens a group that’s on the new homepage, a short tour starts. It’s the same for the Organizer who chose Try It Now and for a Co-Organizer who never saw the window. The tour walks through the grid, Edit Homepage (moving, resizing, adding and setting up widgets), pinning an announcement, your tabs and where to switch back. It never saves a layout. Each person sees it once.

Switching On or Back

1

Open Your Group's Settings

On your group’s page, select the gear icon.
2

Find Group Homepage

The Group Homepage card is at the top of the group’s profile settings.
3

Flip the Switch

Turn Use the New Homepage on or off. The change happens right away, with no need to save.
The card also shows the last change and who made it, like “Turned on by Alex Kim, Nov 7” or “Turned off by Alex Kim, Nov 9.” When someone switches back, we’ll ask What Didn’t Work? You can pick any reasons that fit, add a note, or skip it and select Switch Back. Switching back never brings the first-time window back for anyone.

On January 1, 2027

On January 1, 2027, every group moves to the new homepage and the Use the New Homepage setting goes away.
If your group is still on the classic homepage from December 2, 2026, the Organizer sees a one-time window titled One Month Left on the Classic Homepage, with the same Try It Now and Not Yet buttons. Choosing Not Yet earlier doesn’t stop it. If your group has already tried the new homepage, even if it switched back, the reminder doesn’t appear.

If You Don’t See the Choice

Some groups start on the new homepage and never show the window or the switch:
  • Groups created after the new homepage rolled out
  • Meetup listings claimed after the rollout
  • Groups where nobody who manages the settings had used WR-Games in the 30 days before the rollout
These groups have the same widgets and editing tools. There’s just no window and no switch.
