    • allow group organizers the ability to create tabs linking to new pages on their group website

      This should only require just a few snips of coding, but would be a huge deal for group organizers who have been trying to create new pages that would link to tabs at the top of their website page navigation rather than link new pages to the sponsor/perk blocks on the side bar that so many users do not look at. The other used option of linking pages to the generic "pages" tab also seems to be invisible to most meetup.com users and is seldom if ever clicked on.

        • highlight the city where the meetup is located when you send out e-mails about new groups.

          When I get emails about new groups, I'd like to be able to quickly see the city where the group is located.
          I get emails from groups that sound great and after wasting time clicking and reading, I find out the group is way too far away.
          I think the city should be easily identifiable right away. I've considered stopping all e-mails from Meetup because it's time consuming to sift thru all the suggestions.

          • Use texting to contact members

            We are one of Ireland and the UK's leading providers of mobile messaging solutions. Only 70% of homes in Ireland and the UK have a computer but everybody has a mobile phone.

            • It would be great if there was an option to print out the meeting details on one sheet - including the names and pictures of those attending

              It would be great if there was an option to print out the meeting details
              (where, when, description) on one sheet - including the names and pictures of those attending.
              Similar to what we see on screen when we view the event.
              I've tried to print the screen, but it doesn't come out on one page, and the pictures don't print next to the names.
              Having the names and pictures would make it helpful for those attending to find the rest of their group. Especially for the new members, or for larger / more active groups with different members attending…

              • Allow simple text formatting when you initially suggest a meetup.

                If you want to do any formatting to your suggested Meetup you have to suggest it and then go back in and Change it to get any formatting for your Meetup.

                It would be nice to have that option when you first enter the Suggestion. Any formatting you try to do (I just would like to break up my message into paragraphs) is lost when suggested and you have to go back and hit the Change button and edit the text to get it back.

                • Make the Location field for events less restrictive.

                  Most of our members do not want their exact address listed online when they host partys at their homes. However, the Location field wants an exact, existing address. It's nice to be able to look up addresses when you want to. However, you should be allowed to put in "Joe's house in Newton" if you want to. Currently sometimes Meetup allows it, and sometimes it just hangs. It always gives me a hard time when I try this.

                    • About creating a new group.

                      Make the EXACT costs clear to a member BEFORE he takes the first few steps in creating a group. Also, make it possible to cancel the creation of a new group at any time before the final commitment to pay. I also noticed that there is more information you get AFTER committing to pay--one should have all relevant info BEFORE he pays.

                      • Allow two groups to share a scheduled event. Each group calendar to show event details.

                        My group often shares events with another group in the area. It would be great if one group calendar could 'link' to another group's scheduled event (with organizer permission, of course).

                                • Bring back the "no" RSVP stats for members

                                  Please bring back the "no" RSVP stats for members. Now we can only see if a member attended or "no-showed". But I would also like to see if they RSVP no. I use it as a tool to gauge the person's interest in the activities. If they constantly rsvp no or rsvp no to certain types of events. I can tell their interest. I send a personal email to members that constantly email no to see if there's something that they want to try.

                                    software bug, after I select a specific meetup from my date list of searched by miles distant groups, back 1 page arrow (<--) now takes me back all the way to meetup HOME PAGE instead of previous screen of by date listed meetups, even if on say 4th page of list. This forces me to enter miles range again and go through multiple pages of list before getting back to where I was on 4th page of list

                                    • Allow me to block emails from somebody that seems to be advertising w/out blocking all meetup.com

                                      I have received quite a few emails from somebody trying to promote a business. She seems to be creating events in a bunch of different groups. I'd like to block her emails, but it seems that all meetup emails got blocked. Please allow these types of emails to be blocked.

                                      • Would like to see the ability to schedule events for a duration for more than 2 weeks.

                                        I would like to see the ability for a longer event duration. The 2 weeks currently now seems to be a restriction not needed. I personally have a challenge that I would like to schedule as an event but the duration needs to be for 6 months, and the feature to repeat the event would cause too much frustration.

                                        • Stop the "Good to See You" emails!!

                                          The Good to See You feedback emails drive me crazy!! I get them from members who did not attend! I think? Maybe? I don't know!?

                                          These are so confusing that I feel like screwed up because I simply don't have a record of a member attending, but I get a "Good to See
                                          You" email from that member!
