What new feature would you like to see on Meetup, and why?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

  1. create locations in Google Calendar events as "HOST near ADDR" rather than "HOST (ADDR)" so that Google Maps can parse them.

    Google Maps (especially for Mobile) doesn't parse well addresses like "Box (1440 El Camino Real, ...)" -- it'll find Jack-in-the-Box, etc. Better would be "Box near 1440 El Camino Real, ...".

      • Fix the drop down boxes

        When using the drop down boxes (for example when you remove a member) in Chrome, it does not recognize the drop down box. I have to go into IE to do these functions.

          • Name tag print request

            I wish we could print the name tags we select, rather than all. We reuse tags, so just need to print the new attendees.

            • change the "maybe" reply so that it does not take spaces in a meetup and certain people can sign up!

              • Arrange meetings with Organizers to find solutions to the problems caused by the New Meetup format

                I know there is a Southern California Meetup Organizers Group. There are others. Meetup HQ should send its people out to meetings with these Organizer groups to hear our voices about the changes they've created with New Meetup. The good and the bad. Meetup HQ needs to interact with its Organizers to find solutions together.

                  • Allow More than One Payment Choices

                    Allow the organizer to choose any andor all of the payment choices (PayPal, Amazon, Cash) for the members, including one for direct payment to a venue.

                    • Create functionality that only allows members to RSVP "Yes" for an event, unless they are changing from a "Yes" to a "No."

                      Create functionality that only allows members to RSVP "Yes" for an event, unless they are changing from a "Yes" to a "No."
                      Organizers do not need to recieve email every time a member says no. Obviously if they are not a yes, they are a no. If they wish to leave a comment as to why they cannot make it, they can leave a comment on the event.

                      • Abilitiy to Delete (or Hide) individual Meetups from Google Calendar Meetup feed

                        If I have subscribed to many Meetups and I have a busy calendar, I'd like the ability to delete or hide individual Meetups on Google Calendar. And not have to go back to Meetup.com to change RSVP status.

                        • add a feature to organize transportation.

                          I am a helper organizer of a large hiking club and we always have challenges arranging car rides. It would be great if participants could indicate if they can offer transportation, for how many, and from where to where, and allow people to request a ride. Right now people have to email each other.

                          • Customizable Page Layout

                            I understand you have no plans to make page layouts customizable, so maybe a lesser suggestion... it would be great to be able to place sponsors in a higher profile screen position. Currently the visitors of my page need to scroll before they see them.

                            Becomes an issue when sponsors are keen on good screen realestate.

                            Your consideration would be appreciated.

                            • That "comments" never go out in email - to anyone.

                              Stop sending email out every time there is a comment. Yes, I know you can control what email you receive individually. However, that does not prevent people from using the comments for inappropriate rants, promotion of things that have nothing to do with Meetup, religious beliefs, etc. As an Organizer, I do my best to protect members from this kind of email. I'm the only one with access to the list now. At the very least allow Organizers the option to choose whether comments get sent as email to members.

                                • make Meetup's website show in google search results

                                  i'm sorry for this situation where a user must be the one to inform the IT tech support of a big online company that their website doesnt show on google's results, but the fact is if you try to search for " meet new people" or other relating subjects the meetup website doesn't show in google search results....

                                  • I would like to have the note function have the same capabilities as the event function. I want to be able to schedule and repeat notes.

                                    I would like to have the note function have the same capabilities as the event function. I want to be able to schedule and repeat notes. I have notes that repeat daily/weekly/monthly and have to copy by hand. This would make my life SO MUCH easier...

                                    • Add a Global Discussion Board groups could subscribe too, like Global Motorcycle or Auto Recalls for these large # of groups

                                      Add a Global Recall Discussion that a group could "subscribe to" (or better yet, "opt out of"... as there's many motorcycle riding groups, car groups, etc. All groups withing a "classification" should be able to see it, even if their group is private, as this is great public information specific to a targeted group of meetup groups.

                                      • New user communication

                                        Is there a way to implement a one way for people to communicate but when then confirm they are asked "do you want to communicate to only the leader, the attending, all". It's annoying to see postings (which create discussion where they should not be) for questions that should only go to the leader. New users are very confused!
