      • Include new meetup group's location in the "new meetup group" announcement email

        I receive many "new group" announcement emails. It would be nice if the email included the group's primary location (which you see when you follow the link) at the very beginning (or after the group title).

        If the location is too far away, I don't even bother.

        • Change "Pages" to "About Us"

          "Pages" is misleading and gives members no way of learning more about the group. Pages should be changed to "About Us".

          • member removal

            I suggest you create a feature which allows us ( the organizers) to set policies for member removal. (i.e "if inactive for over a year, remove member from group" or 3 months, 6 months

            • make it possible to control how many upcoming meetups are listed on the homepage.

              This way, Recent Activity posts are visible as soon as the homepage comes up, without having to scroll down. People who unfamiliar with the site might not even know that the Recent Activity is there with the current setup.

              • Change the format from "This Friday, Join # of members at..."

                When I receive emails on my iPhone in this format I recieve a message that says "The complete message cannot be displayed due to the way it is formatted. Ask the sender to re-format." I can't even tell what event it is about. This means that I need to open each email to obtain the details.
                Thanks for considering.

                • Correct the alphabetizing order in the Edit Attendance member list

                  After a meetup there is a tool to edit the attendance. The members are listed alphabetically first by members A-Z (usernames starting with a capital) and then a-z (usernames starting with a lowercase letter). This should be corrected so that the upper and lower case usernames alphabetize together in one list. The normal member list alphabetizes correctly, but not in the edit attendance list.

                  • Hide or Remove Event's from showing after RSVP NO

                    It would be great if there is a way to hide or remove any meetups that you've RSVP'd No to. The main page is to cluttered to begin with and it will be easier to see other meetups that we haven't RSVP'd to at all.

                    • stop spamming me with weekly calendars and other crap from Meetup

                      I didn't ask for a weekly calendar, didn't ask for all the spam Meetup has been sending to me in the last couple months. This is spam from Meetup - NOT group organizers. Suddenly I'm getting a "weekly calendar" that I never asked for and all the other various emails from Meetup. Stop spamming me.

                      • Running Guide needed for blind 56years old Lady

                        I wonder if you can help. I have recently received a request from a colleague on behalf of a Lady 56 years old, blind located in South Harrow area. She has completed London Marathon2009 and several 10Ks. We would be grateful if someone could spare one or two days each week and run with her, the pace is moderately slow. Preferable in South Harrow area. This person is special and the world needs examples like her to keep us all uplifted and positive. I really hope you can help, recommend or advise me. Please email me for details. Happy New…

                        • Evaluate how members are e-mailed.

                          For the past two days I have been receiving e-mails when someone posts a new comment to random events. These events are hosted by groups I am not a member of. Most of these groups are from places no where near me. I think you need to also stop sending e-mails about comments to people who have changed their RSVP to No. I get e-mails all the time about events I'm not going to.

                          • Bring back original Edit RSVP. I could print a nice attendance list

                            Bring back original "Edit RSVP".
                            I print this out as it has a compact list of attendees with photos. I use this to take attendance. The print RSVP puts one person per line and that is not efficient as I have to juggle many sheets of paper.

                            • <No reply> is different from <Not going>

                              When <Editing who's going>, followed by <Not going>, all members, except those in <going> & <waiting> are shown. Isn't the <filter by RSVP> suppose to show only those who are <Not going>? Pls rectify, tx.

                                  When Changing an RSVP please keep the 'form' that controls the actual selection in the same location. Currently when you select the option to RSVP or change an existing RSVP - it moves the information to another location on the page leaving the user 'searching' for the RSVP option.

                                  • Allow members to share their Audible Name Tag (ANT) from www.antvibes.com

                                    Since the members already have a profile it would be nice for people to learn ahead of a meeting the proper pronunciation of a person's name.
