  1. For mobile users using m.meetup.com, please show comments and ability to check-in.

    When I'm browing on my mobile phone (a non-smartphone), I get the mobile version of your site m.meetup.com. I cannot see comments for any events, only description and rsvp list with wait list. It would be nice to be able to also see comments for the event and also be able to check-in.

    • Email subject should have the Meetup group name in it. The old way was better... (again!)

      I belong to several groups of similair interests however I like the events and people of one over and it was really helpful seeing the group name in the subject of the email.

      • Please fix the heat meter logo

        Please remove the red [x] on meter; it looks "too negative", like a "circle with line" no-smoking logo and, post event, please be so kind as to avoid altering the Event's Logo too much. Thank you so much!! Example: http://www.meetup.com/svnewtech/events/past/ and http://www.meetup.com/theMonthlyPintClub/events/past/ Any help is sincerely appreciated!

        • Include first & last names in organizer RSVP list

          Organizer RSVP list does not include first and last name. First and last name should be required; at least on the RSVP list.

          It's typical to have 5 Ed or other multiple name listing at events. This does not work well for attendee registration.

          • Fix the inability of the Org or member to add guests to one's Yes RSVP for upcoming Meetups

            As Org I can no longer add guests to our upcoming Meetups, nor can members (the pop up window does not save additions to the "0" number of guests). It makes attendance look small when it is not, so we have fewer members RSVPing.

            • Default reply email

              Change the default reply email so that it goes to the event organizer by default. I keep on forgetting to set this for each email that I send, and when people reply, they end posting to the entire group, which is not what they usually intended..

                • Display Answers to Required Questions in Members View

                  I require new members to provide their zipcode. It would be great to see this field (and sort) in the Members view.

                  • For recurring events, you should be able to cancel one or more meetings directly from calendar

                    For recurring events, you should be able to cancel one or more meetings directly from calendar. Not that you should be required to click on upcoming events tab and scroll through to see list of all events first and then cancel

                    • Edit option missing from Tools drop down menu

                      I am an assistant organizer of a group. I need to change some details of an event I setup. There is no edit option on the tools drop down menu. Why not? Why do I have to use a vote to report an obvious bug issue? Why do you make it soo difficult to report what should be a simple problem?

                        • Allow sponsorships that have been offered but not accepted to be withdrawn.

                          I offered a sponsorship to a meetup group but haven't had it accepted, but now I want to withdraw the offer as I can no longer afford to fulfill it. I can withdraw offers that have been accepted, but I can't withraw pending offers. Please allow me to do this.

                          • Show more posted events on the main page - 5 events is not enough

                            Our group has several events going every weekend and around the same time. Showing only 5 events does not allow everyone to see all events that are going on in the next 2 weeks. Also, have "featured" events dominate the page even further and crowd out all other events from showing. Please show more events on the main page. Recommend at least 10.

                            • have a sort by cost search feature

                              I find cool looking meetup groups all the time but when I read the details, the cost for the meetup is prohibitively expensive for me. I'd rather not see $20+ meetup groups.

                                Provide a dynamic sponsor rotation based on page views. Also it would be nice to have a "move to top" button to allow a new sponsor to be promoted without clicking UP 20 times.

                                • Make it easier to copy old events by providing us a list of all old events.

                                  Organizers often copy events from previous years. With the current system, we have to click back on the calendar arrows month by month, which can take a significant amount of time just to get to the date our old event was posted. Can you find an easier way that we can navigate to old events, such as a browsable list, advanced search option, or even a way to jump from one year to the next more easily?

                                  • Reward Meetup Organizers for their efforts to grow the system.

                                    Meetup organizers should be rewarded financially for their efforts. Meetup depends on its organizers to bring more people into the system through our event coordination and marketing efforts. We provide valuable feedback on new features and on your business model. We provide Meetup the opportunity to market promotions to our members. However, we must pay a fee for all this and we get nothing in return. If Meetup wants to engage us more, it should provide us better promotions that reward the organizers financially for allowing its sponsore to reach out to our members. We built the brand for our…

                                    • allow organizers to charge when/same time someone joins.

                                      Charge when someone joins. I get lots of fake profiles in my closed group and I' m adding a small fee to reduce fakes.Right now I'm playing collections and having to kick people out if they don't pay. more work and silly

                                      • place a reminder to go to or telephones prior to meet up date

                                        many of us get involved in you name it.
                                        To keep on top reminders send to our phones would be great specially if they came directly in to our phone calendar.
