Share/Post meetup event as facebook status
Hello, I miss the feature where could simply click to post/share a meetup event to your facebook page without having to choose individual friends to share with/message. I just want to be able to post a meetup event to my page for all of my facebook contacts to see. I believe this option now only exists for Twitter?? I don't want to have to choose friends!

Payments/donations with Bitcoin
By comparison to Bitcoin, Paypal is absurd. When you consider asking for a $1.00 donation from the members, you get $.67 after paypal fees. Since you are based in NYC, you ought to know that Bitcoins has become a reality. So why not be "hip" and start using them as an alternative. (i.e. Wikileaks, Piratebay , Reddit etc etc )

Please remove or harmonise the gray color in 'about us', 'contact', 'more meetups', sponsors and other zones
Not only light gray doesn't go well with many themes with light colors, but the meetup doesn't use the same gray for 'about us' and 'contact' (241,243,241), for sponsor image backgrounds (244,244,244), and for 'RSVP Close' (one of the two grays is 238,238,238).
Is it possible to harmonise this, and ideally to make sponsors logo background either white or totally transparent?
Thanks

red stripe across the top of the page on organizer emails to members, with meetup logo.
My compliments to you and Meetup on your new appearance option, it is excellent. I would like a similar effect on the emails I send out to my members, similar to your to your Meetup HQ blog red stripe across the top of the page.Thank you have a great day,

Get rid of those emails that tell me I just scheduled an event
We just scheduled the event - we don't need yet another email telling us what we just did two seconds ago.

What happened to the home page calendar that shows all my meetup group events?
What happened to this calendar? The new way of pulling up a calendar takes more clicks and doesn't filter to only my meetup groups - I don't care about groups I'm not a member of.

Create permanent "Event Host" member role
We would like HQ to consider adding "Event Host" as an assigned member role option. I am aware Event Hosts can be added to any event or the person who suggested a meetup can be assigned Event Host for that particular event, and even blank drafts can be set up with anyone assigned as an Event Host to log in and fill in the details.
But we have several members who announce and host regular classes/workshops on our site. We would like the option to give these people a permanent Event Host role, just like the other member roles, and…

scheduling calendar
I would like the scheduling calendar when drafting a meetup to reflect the group calendar. That way when when I am scheduling a new meetup, I can see whether or not I have a conflict. We are a very active group, with several organizers, so this would be a HUGE help.

Bring Back the Organizer Comment Window.
This window used to be on the upper left below the admin team window. It was a great way to get a message out to the members without having send out an email to the entire member list. It was also quicker and easier for a short message than using the message board.

Allow a photo to be uploaded to accompany announcement of new meetup.
Allow a photo to be uploaded to accompany announcement of new meetup. For instance attaching the event flyer to accompany the description of the meetup or even a photo/ logo of the venue or the idea/cause of the meetup.

Lost Message Text When Page Reloaded
It's *REALLY* aggrivating to spend 10-15 minutes composing a new message in the "new discussion" form, only to accidentally migrate away from the page or close the tab/window and lose the message.
At a minimum, the page should show an alert warning the user that they're about to lose their message. Ideally any unposted text would be auto-saved as a "draft" that could be recovered.

Hello. About collecting money. Other than collecting annual dues via paypal like we are already doing, How do I create another drop down?
Hello. About collecting money. Other than collecting annual dues via paypal like we are already doing, How do I create another drop down they can choose when paying money to the group? For example: someone wishes to make an additional donation or wishes to pay for Group T Shirts or Group Patches via the online paypal approach and categorized by a drop down that allows them to choose what type of payment is this for example; Annual Dues, T- Shirts, Patch. Can we do this? Something says this has yet to be programmed in...is this the toher way to make…

Apply the banner colour for banner/menu line separation when a banner picture is active?
Hello
The new theme system is quite powerful but it has a small issue for groups with a banner picture:The thin (8px) line between the banner and the menu is systematically set to be 25% lighter than the banner background colour specified in the configuration menu.
I understand why you would want to do that with plain colour banners, but it makes no sense when the group uses a banner picture. For those groups, the actual banner background is replaced by the picture. If you alter the line colour, the "banner colour" specified in the configuration is not used…

The format of Polls in AWFUL!
You should allow the organizers to insert a paragraph break in the information relating to the poll. Here's an example of how difficult it is for the members to read a poll: http://www.meetup.com/Hip-Girls-of-South-County-Book-Club/polls/806222/

I'd love to see on the member pages the events that the member and I both attended. Would help me remember them.
I belong to a fairly large and active meetup. There are always new people. Tt'd be nice to see which meetup events I have in common with other members.

Stop emails from events I've either not RSVP'd for or responded No
I get innumerable emails from the groups I'm in for events I've either RSVP'd no or not RSVP'd to at all. Usually it's some kind of update that only the people going need to know about. With all the other Meetup emails we receive, this one is just completely unnecessary.

organizer global email settings
Allow the organizer to globally set what type of emails are sent to group member. It would be nice in my group to turn off some of the email notifications that all members get as they're relavent or helpful to my group. They just add to the perceived spam.

Meetup Templates
The objective is to make it easier and less intimidating for non-organizers to post meetups.
The meetups could be pre-configured with typical event locations a pre-set limit to the attendees and with further directions specific to the meetup group. The person would only need to fill in beyond some basic details about the event is the date and time.
i.e. - Template title: Meeting at Park Entrance - Limited to 10 people
