    • Stop spamming your users! Set-up one digest of daily messages instead.

      I run a group for Meetup Organizers in Ottawa-Gatineau. It is a concern that many of our clients work for government and large firms that have marked Meetup emails as spam. This means anyone who is using a work email address often doesn't get our emails. Others who do get our emails set up their own filters to redirect the multitude of emails they are getting from even just a few groups to a folder. Quite often people tell me they fall out of the habit of checking these folders. Since the number emails have been increasing, we have noticed…

      • Please add the "most recent activity" feature back to member profiles.

        I used to be able to look at a particular member's most recent activity to see their message board activity. Can we please get that back? I require my members to participate in the message board and it's a big pain to search through 3 months worth of message board posts. It used to take 5-10 minute to check the handful of members but it now takes HOURS to search all posts for specific members. Thank you for considering!

        • create a button in the discussion board for automatically inserting quotes. i.e [quote]....[/quote]

          we have a very active discussion board and this is a major omission

          • Have the login on the homepage

            I'd like to be able to see the username and password on meetup's homepage, not have to click the link to go to it. I realize it's only one click to go to login, but when so many other sites have their's set up that way, it's frustrating. Thanks!

            • Email RSVP yes attendees after event

              We to many Meetups every month. Each one generates audio/video/written residue. Please add the ability to email people who RSVP'ed and/or rated the Meetup, to send them a link to Meetup residue. Also the ability to edit past Meetups to add the links would be great too.

              • Allow organizers to op out of receiving "how was your meet-up" emails

                It's annoying to receive "How was your meet-up" emails after every event. Please give us a way to opt-out of receiving them

                • Expand MUITM to make it useful for a greater number of members

                  I love the idea of "meetup in the making", but it's missing some very important features that would make it usable to a greater number of groups.

                  -Spam filter: adjustable "events attended" threshold before feature appears for use to members

                  -1 day delay for organizer approval or optional organizer approval before new MUITM is open to group/emailed out

                  -Email of new suggestions to all members

                  -Event host category added, no longer assuming suggestee is the organizer

                  -Event will not be displayed on the calendar until it is announced (OR, large watermark/color change over event on calendar to differentiate it)

                  -Email…

                      • inform the potential group host of manditory fees before

                        So, I came across the site via Soundcloud.com and then decided to attend this may 25th meetup day for musicians in knoxville. I then started to build a meetup group of my own only find out after a very specific group description was typed.
                        I just feel a free trial would give users an incentive after becoming acquainted with the site and it's navigation.
                        The site is only worth what it could potentially yield socially or professionally. My intent was to establish a group to connect musicians/bands/promoters/managers/venues/ect. in Knoxville.
                        I can't justify any amount of money for a monthly 'hosting'…

                          • Make an option for groups to substitute the word "workshop" or "event" etc. in place of "Meetup"

                            Give organizers an option to be able to substitute different words for the word "meetup" whenever it occurs on their Meetup page (i.e. "let's meetup and"..."suggest a new meetup"..."upcoming meetups" etc). How bout an option to substitute "Meetup" with words like "workshop"..."event"..."bootcamp"... etc.

                                If members are leaving nasty comments, becoming unruly or posting unwanted comments on the poster board for a scheduled meetup then organizers should have the ablility to "turn off" new posts just as you would on a message board.

                                • Make it easier for users to scan and find upcoming events

                                  Please make it easier to get an overview of what events are coming up across all "my groups".

                                  It would be great to have a dedicated page for "Your Meetup Calendar" that is just for viewing events across all of "my groups" with 1) a calendar where you can jump weeks, months, or even years ahead to find events scheduled for your free days and 2) a compressed list of events with only basic info in order to see more events in a smaller space, with a mouse hover balloon that contains more details

                                    Some meetups have multiple locations and organizers, but not so big that an Everywhere Meetup is good. If we can add multiple zip codes for searches, this would help.

                                    • Reservation become very annoiyng - many windows you have to click on. When it was 1 click it's fun

                                      Not only reservation - this also extremely annoying. Why cannot I just fill in one window and click on 'submit'? Simple, clear and fun. All these complication and many windows - just wasting of time and energy. Also I cannot close this current window. It's an annoying disaster.

                                        • Option: Please allow Suggested Meetups to Leadership Team!

                                          On the May2011 New Meetup Release, please allow Organizers to choose suggested new Ideas to go to the whole Leadership Team, instead of Organizer.
                                          Re: "For Groups where member suggested Meetups are disabled, members who want to 'Suggest a Meetup' will be linked to the email form to contact the Group's Organizer." Thank you!!
                                          How about an email to contact the team?
