    I think it's important as an organiser to identify who has left star ratings for an event..? It's something you definitely should add. Like other sites such as TripAdvisor, the rating has no credibility if it's anonymous. If someone maliciously gives you one star, you don't know who they are to remove them!

    Kind regards,

    • Add an area to view and add new Suggested Meetups to the app.

      Add an area to view and add new Suggested Meetups to the app.
      There is not a way to view any Suggested meetups using the app, having this would be wonderful, as I'm sure alot of people only using the meetup app, and they are missing lots of potential meetups because they can't view the ones that are suggested by others and haven't become a 'full blown' meetup yet.

      • DO NOT change adresses on my meetups without my express permission

        I have received an E_Mail which says the adress of a venue I am using for an event has been changed - because some other event organiser has changed the adress on their event.
        I now have the wrong address for my event
        Meetup claims this is a shared event venue - it is clearly not - the.new venue is for a Bon Jovi concert at the O2 in London absolutely nothing to do with my event.
        This is ludicrous

        • Allow Organisers to use more topics when describing their Meetup group

          Currently Organisers are limited to describing their Meetup groups using just 15 topics. Please could you consider raising this to 25-30 topics? In busy metropolitan areas, it is easy to reach out to large numbers of new members with only a few topics listed, however in regional areas such as where I live, extra topics can make all the difference in reaching and bringing in new members. Please consider.

          • I want a place where I can see in ONE list all the Meetups I am signed up for.

            The Android app has this feature to see everything you've RSVP'd Yes for under "Meetups I'm attending" but the main site does not. Maybe I cannot find it on the main site but I've searched pretty thoroughly.

            • Add New Banner Image Options and Fixes

              Suggestions for how Banner Images would work better, and look better:

              + Stop taking my PNG images and turning them into JPEGs. JPEGs make logos look terrible, and the PNGs are small enough. JPEGs are not suitable or suggested for non-photographic images.

              What's funny is that my PNG is smaller than the ugly JPEG that you're producing. But on the other hand, you're allowing images like the banner here that's over 100k!

              http://www.laoutdoors.org/

              Example: my PNG image:

              https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9411926/blackwhite_horizontal2_white_16.png

              Example: as converted by MeetUp:

              (note that the meetup example involved me uploading a 4x resolution PNG, which looks much better…

              • Increase max limit of groups for tech prez topics/groups.

                Today you can only subscribe to 250 groups, and add only 15 to 20 groups in a row. That's great for real groups of interest and not great for PR groups, such as tech presentations. For the latter, meetup has a use and it would be great to be able to subscribe to lots of groups. Ideas (separately or all of them):

                * Add a check "Is your group a "pro" group, for promotion or a watch on trends". If it's ticked, then adding the group won't increment the limitation counter.

                * Allow the user to request to increase its…

                • Setup additional payment options if they are an event organiser!

                  Have co-organisers who is able to collect money into their paypal account. When the organiser refuses to share the paypal account, the organising becomes a pain in the back side.

                  How do I ensure people pay when they RSVP? I don't want to put my personal paypal address in public!!! It is linked to all other aspects of my life. Now I have to e-mail them individually and manage this individually!

                  If a solution already exist, please contact Amy Lo of Jaunters!!!

                  • When is Meeup going go drop the "Not Attending" button

                    This silly "Not attending" button actually costs events!!! For some reason people like to hit this button when they never wanted to attend the event in the first place. Then other people view the event page thinking that they might attend but see all those who aren't attending and then feel the event is not happening or not worth going to. It is such a stupid feature. I don't mind if there is a button that only comes available when they have previously said they they were coming but for whatever reason can no longer make it. That is a…

                    • Third party offer of assistance to members

                      • Event "Host's" should be at the top of the attending list, even if an "Organiser" is attending.

                        Scenario... (I'm a group Organiser)

                        One of my "Members" has posted an event, and I've also RSVP'd to attend. In the attendance list, I'm listed at the top, so people THINK I'm the one who's hosting it. The actual person who posted the Event should be designated as the Event Host automatically.

                        Currently I need to log in, and add them as an Event Host manually. However I still appear at the top of the list. This is unfair to both the real Event Host, and the Group Organiser.

                        Can you please fix this.

                            • "Stop being notified about conversations in this Meetup group"

                              It bugs me how when I get emailed about a comment on a Meetup event, the bottom of the email has a link for "Stop being notified about conversations in this Meetup group". What I would LOVE is if that got changed to this: "Stop being notified about conversations for this Meetup event." Just because I no longer want to hear conversation about an event that I can no longer attend, sure doesn't mean I want this whole group to go silent... silence just this one event, NOT the whole group.

                                • Testing out interest for specific types of meetups in particular areas

                                  Some of the categories such as Music or Arts and Crafts miss the mark. I would like to find meetups such as Creative Process (exploring expressive media broadly) or a Composers Workshop in my area (Acton, Concord et al) since none of the music or art schools offer such classes.

                                    • Removing the "No" feature for new RSVPs.

                                      As an organizer and Event Host I am most interested in who has RSVP'd they will attend a Meetup. Those who initially say they are not going to an event, not so much. Nice to know, but really doesn't impact the Meetup. I would add the "No" feature for a member after someone has RSVP'd "Yes" and would like to change their RSVP. That has more of an impact to my events, then those who initially RSVP "No".

                                      • Change the meetup notification to include the ending time

                                        When I get an invite to a meetup I only see the start time. Is there a way to include the ending time? Then I wouldn't have to open the invite to see whether I can make the time slot for the event.

                                        • Opt out of photo tags

                                          For those of us who do not wish to be tagged, a one-time setting that allows us to opt out of being publicly identified, without ever having to worry about it again.
