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".
(thinking…)

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. Allow groups the freedom to format their homepage as best suits each group needs

    Each Meetup group is unique onto itself. Over the years Meetup has offered many great features and some that have been a bit questionable. What they have never offered is a way for each group to choose the options that best fit their own needs.

    • Add Post to Facebook after we RSVP'd

      It seems that the only time I can post my event to Facebook is when I make the original RSVP. I am trying to find ways to not have to re-enter all the info in FB if I can simply post reminders for the event to my fan page AND my wall when I want to. I generally like to send reminders a few days before weekly events, and several times before bigger events.

      • Allow us to override the "map" photo when scheduling a meetup. I want to upload my own pic choice.

        It is nice that you have a "map" photo next to the meetup description; however, I like to be able to upload my own picture choice that is relevant to the particular meetup scheduled. I don't need the map because I always include thorough directions and a link to a map for the meetup site. Please allow organizers to have the option of defaulting to your "map" or to be able to upload our own picture. The old way was preferable because it allowed organizers to have more freedom in designing the meetup postings.

            • Add a way to terminate memberships in groups

              So that we don't have to go through every person that has been inactive, please add a way to terminate members by a simple checking multiple people who are inactive.

                  • An idea for "Ideas" Please Consider!

                    Ideas + In the making + Official meetups

                    In that specific order and organizers can control or not control every aspect of what goes onto the calendar.

                    Essentially it would be great if a member:

                    * can post an idea from the home page, organizers can turn off or on this function, members can turn off or on the option to receive emails about new ideas posted
                    * the idea can be listed under "Ideas" - members and organizers can view comment on and 'like'/vote for the idea. Members/Org's can elect to receive emails when a new idea is posted.…

                    • Upload new image to a meetup

                      As of right now we can only choose a photo from an existing album. I would like to upload a new image when creating a new meetup.

                      • When an organizer posted a discussion, an email should be sent out to all members in the group!

                        The discussion thread is hidden and with the new activity posting at the bottom of the page, members will never see the discussion s that are being posted!

                          • Enough with the changes....

                            Coming to Meetup is like dating a person with multiple personality disorder... you never know what's going to be there... used to be a cool place to organize stuff... now all I see are the ever changing faces of the site that used to look like old friends, but now are always quite strange to me... Enough with the upgrades... nothing you are doing is helping the communities that are here...

                            • Allow categories for RSVP limits.

                              Example: Our group has photographers, models and Makeup artists. We would like the ability of creating categories of RSVP limits so we can set how many of each category can RSVP. As it stands now, we have to create multiple events for 1 day to make this work.

                              • Don't allow Organizers to 'auto RSVP' for members

                                I had a bad experience where a group 'auto RSVP'd' 140 members as 'YES' to a paid $40 meetup (falsely making it look like everyone was willing to kick in $40 for that event). I posted a comment that I didn't appreciate being RSVP'd as YES without confering with me first, and they kicked me out of the group with no discussion. Too much control for Organizers...please remove auto-RSVP ability (RSVP should be member's choice, not Organizer).

                                  • "in the making" not working as Meetup HQ said in forums

                                    I am having a problem with Meetups "in the making". We have our "Suggest Meetups" set to "Only the Organizer can announce Meetups to Members". In the forum post here http://www.meetup.com/boards/thread/10357424/0#39534531. Avianna states that with the setting above, only the Organizing Team can see them until they are announced. That is incorrect. I created a dummy account to verify this, and that account, who is just a member, can still see "in the making" events. In fact, a new event was suggested last night, and even that one is visible to all members. Please let me know what is…

                                    • fix your mapquest. the maps are COMPLETELY innaccurate. not even showing the area of the meetup!

                                      Your maps do not show the location. In fact, not only are they pointing to wrong locations, often the actual location isn't even on the map being displayed!

                                      • Fix RSVP Updates. BUG ALERT

                                        When we try to update a person's guests to an event, we can't save the change - save option is missing.
