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.

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

  1. Dues Functionality

    Give me the functionality to actually use the levels of membership. For instance, I want to be able to "require payment to rsvp" for non dues paying members, and then to NOT require payment for my dues payers.

      • Automatically add questions to ALL new meetups even user created ones.

        I want to add questions to ALL new meetups in my group such as "How many hours are you planning on staying?" etc.

        Given that you have added the auto-meetup feature so preemptively its the least we can ask for!

          • Copy Event bet

            Can you guys give us a feature to copy an event between my meetup groups.

            The same feature you currently have as copy a past meetup.

            This will save time than manually copy and past.

            Thanks

            Yara

              • Allow upload of video clips from utube/facebook

                I run a site for live music fans, we go to concerts, festivals, gigs etc. I use facebook, utube and myspace a lot to research artists and it would be really useful if we could upload links to artists videos like you can on facebook. I think this would encourage more people to attend events

                • A mechanism for discussions and comments to be posted on the group site would be great!

                  I think it would enhance communication and group participation if there was a mechanism within the group page to post comments and start a discussion.

                  • allow a waitlist even after the RSVPs are closed

                    I want control over member RSVPs. By allowing a waitlist after RSVPs are closed, it allows me to confirm members in the order they waitlisted themselves plus members can't RSVP themselves out of order. Right now, there's no real difference between manual and automatic RSVPs.

                    • Unique URL for calendar months

                      We need a unique URL for each calendar month like we had before. I could go back to November 2009 by just changing the URL at the end to www.meetup.com/groupname/calendar/11-2009. Now I have to click the calendar month back arrow 12+ times to find the right past month. The same is true for future meetups, I have to click forward through the calendars to find Meetups posted in the future. Very time consuming and a step backward instead of forward on the improvement and ease of use side.

                      • fix trending meetups near ...(location) to include ALL meetup groups.2 of my groups not listed

                        something happened a while back and I am getting less traffic to my groups since they don't show up in weekly emails OR when you click to see ALL groups on that day. why are some groups showing and not others?

                        • List company contact number/email

                            • Add broadcast option

                              Add a link to watch the Ustream, Livestream or Justin.TV stream of the event on web or mobile. Maybe even add that ability to broadcast the event via the mobile app.

                                  i would like to re run and event from the beginning of my calendar - currently the only way i can do it fast is to push the calendar back month by month, and then should select any particular event the calendar jumps back to present day and i have to start again...
                                  > page or month links in to the past would make it so much faster...

                                  • Group organizers and assistants to have two emails addresses

                                    I've recently become an assistant organiser for a group. I need to have my new group email address on my profile and for responding to messages via meetup, BUT I'm also just a member of many other groups and I don't want my other personal meetup emails going to that address.

                                    I want the ability to have one address for the group I help with and one for everything else. It makes communication easier.

                                    • Let us ad a tab at the top for "promotions"

                                      Adding a tab after "Discussions" that is "Promotions" so I can add a promo such as bring a friend & get 1/2 off their membership dues or purchase this special tee and proceeds go to charitly, etc...

                                        • Move the discussion/comments at the top of the page or side-by-side with the meetups

                                          Coudl you move the discussion/comments at the top of the page or side-by-side with the meetups so all can be viewed at once? Maybe move the group info to the top of the page to give more room?
