    • Hide suggested events from calendar feed

      How can I remove suggested events from showing up on my calendar feed? Now have my calendar is filled with events for Meetups I do not belong to which makes it very hard for me to find events I actually want to attend.

      • Allow organizers to change the layout of their Meetup page to suit their needs. We need the discussion updates front and center.

        Allow organizers to change the layout of their Meetup page to suit their needs. We need the discussion updates front and center just under the upcoming events. Now that it is small and off to the side the communication within our group has greatly decreased. The discussion updates off to the side and so small are not noticeable enough.

        • Have option for meetup to auto remove members

          Can you put an option when creating your meetup to choose to have meetup automatically remove members for different reason such as an excessive number of no-shows to events or inactivity of a prolonged amount of time?

          • Announce Meetup to Specific Groups

            We would like to be able to create Meetup announcement lists – similar to mailing lists (they could even be the same – just allow us to announce a meetup only to a specific list at first and then to everyone else later). The idea is that we would like to give sustaining members (people who have paid voluntary dues) advanced notice of meetups to allow them first chance to RSVP.

            • Only show the MeetUp location to the RSVP list

              My MeetUp group has become quite popular. With our current venue, I've had to cap events and start wait lists. Several people have either crashed or implied they would crash an event in the comments section.

              I can't control what other people do but I have to limit the number of attendees for a reason. It's not fair to me as an organizer and the people willing to abide by the rules. I suggest adding the option of allowing only RSVPs to see the location of an event.

              You could allow it to have a general location (Washington DC or…

              • Allow grouping of sponsors in categories (platinum, gold, silver)

                Currently the sponsors are listed in a single column. We want to distinguish the major sponsors from those that only provide smaller donations (for ex. Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze), so it would be great to add support for that directly in the meetup UI. We tried to hack around this by inserting placeholder sponsor images, but it looked ugly.

                • Create membership cards

                  Similar to the already available business card making template - it would be nice to create membership cards so that members could identify themselves. I see this being especially valuable for taking advantage of perks.
                  Flexibility with the card would be key.
                  Group name & member name should be required.
                  Optional fields could include:
                  - member #
                  - member since
                  - title
                  - expiration date

                  As well as an option to list perks on the reverse and maybe a disclaimer to the effect that ultimately the company listed as providing the perk can change their mind at any time, despite…

                  • Make date format in data export consistent with Meetup group country

                    It would be nice if the member data could always be exported in a date format consistent with the format used in the Meetup group country, e.g. US meetup groups export US date format, UK groups export UK date format.

                    Perhaps a nice feature would be to also give the organizer the means to override this default setting and vary the date format to the preference of their particular meetup (e.g. a group for US expats but based in London).

                    • I would like to embed weather on my motorcycle meetup events

                      I run a Motorcycle Meetup and would like to be able to embed the weather for the area we are riding to for each event. Unless I am doing something wrong, I cannot embed the html code in the body of the description.

                      • Support <iframe> tags (or equivalent) on Pages

                        I'm trying to bring more informative content into the Pages on my Meetup site. It would help a lot if I could embed views of web pages on other sites (e.g., like one would with an HTML <iframe>), rather than just linking to them.

                          • Show Event Host at top of RSVP List

                            Organizers RSVPing for a Meetup someone else is hosting show up at the top of the RSVP list. This is confusing as it makes it appear that the Org is hosting. The Event Host should be the first name on the RSVP list.

                              I think groups would love to car-pool, but it isn't easy to organize.

                                It would be nice to be able to customize name tags: i.e. regular attendees, a logo specific to my meetup, select only certain names to make name tags for, etc.

                                • Allow organizers to have a forwarding email account that is separate from the log in email. i.e. - organizer@GetOutThereAdventures.com.

                                  We have a domain name that forwards to our Meetup site. I would love to create an email address (to look more professional than my Yahoo email address). However, I do belong to other Meetup groups and would not want to change the email for the others...just the one that I organize. Possible?

                                  • Create an automatic "carpool" option after every "yes" RSVP

                                    Here in trendy Portland, seems like there are dozens of new people at new meetups every week! We've thrilled about all the new opportunities for people to connect, but even here in bike city, lots of people are driving to their meetups. Suppose that as soon as I RSVP "yes", a button pops up asking me if I'd like to carpool & if I respond "yes" I am directed to an option box which allows me to enter whether or not I can drive or want a ride, what part of town, how many passengers, etc. Right now I'm hearing…

                                    • Give the organizers the option to change the first day of the week in the calendar

                                      European calendars set Monday as the first day of the week.

                                      • Put the group description back on the meetup homepage.

                                        No one goes to the pages section to read the description. It is too hard to find.

                                        • I would like an easy way to clean up my member list. It is a real pain to have to do it one person at a time.

                                          Have radio button next to each persons name and at the bottom or top of the screen an option button of what you want to do with those members, ie delete
