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

Possibility to separate lines or do basic fromatting in comments/captions/forums

I would like to make line breaks and urls in the comments and captions etc. Like often you see in other internet forums [br] or [url][/url]

I can't find a way to do that. Direct html tags seems to work when you write them, but when you come back, the tags are shown and format is gone.

Also there is many many programming meetup groups and [code] tag in the forums would help a lot!

So, just map [br] to br-tag, [url] to a-link-tag and [code] to pre-tag.

Please!

        I've realized what I mentioned happens on page reload. So, it's not the end of the world, just jarring at first. That being said, more formatting options would be great. Markdown support would be another safe way to do it.

        Even keeping the line-breaks present in the original formatting and auto-linking URLs would be a vast improvement. Having this information stripped on submit has my messages look terrible. Particularly when I want something like this on a meetup event page:

        "Person #1: ...
        Person #2: ...
        Person #3: ...."

        Pretty please!
