It would be great for people outside of Sydney, on the Central Coast to be able to meet up with other people in our local area. It is too far for a lot of people to travel to Sydney to access groups.

Sorry but that is the way I see it

Recently, I saw an email go out to everyone asking for their help with helping me select a new location for an event. I was planning on changing locations and had removed the old one. I was not prepared to add the new location on the same day. There is no need for members to get spammed with unnecessary email, especially when the location was going to be added the next day.

Impossible to keep track of where we posted a comment, opened a discussion, messaged a member. We need a threaded timeline/log of our activity or something along those lines. An internal inbox/mailbox would be nice too.

In larger groups the organizer that schedules a meetup may not be the one hosting, so listing the organizer that scheduled a meetup on the groups main page doesn't seem to make sense. The Event host(s) should be listed on the meetup - who the organizer that scheduled the meetup doesn't give meetup users any useful information as that organizer may have only created the meetup for the Event Hosts to populate with information.

Trying to remove a sponsor I have been receiving the following error for the past three days. You need a method of reporting system problems so they can be fixed in a timely manner.

Our server wasn't able to process your request.

This may be a temporary problem due to an upgrade, so please try again in a few minutes.

I am bothered that groups where the organizer does not display a photo of their face, such as a cat, and uses a nickname. Yes, obviously a person can post a false photo/name but that quickly comes out after the first meetup where the organizer is present and I'm sure that person doesn't really want to do that else, I would like to think, Meetup.com, would ban them for life.

I understand the issue of perhaps not wanting to mix private and public life but the safety of the group trumps that... always.

The "read more about us" is displayed in a popup window. In the popup window it does not recognize all HTML, so unordered lists and other formatting and all jumbled into one mass of text. Really sloppy and makes my group look stupid. I want prospective members to see what we are about before joining but the copy they get now is ruined by Meetup.

I do not want to close of member communications but it would be nice to require them to attend a certain number of meetups before being allowed to contact the group. This would cut down on SPAM.

It is NOT good to have anyone post MeetUps and I changes the choice to "Only Organizers can Post" but it reverts back - it doesn't work!!!!

people are getting scammed into purchasing online seminars. Not cool.

With respect to "meetups in the making" (the old "IDEAS"), I'm bothered by the statement "I'm going" and "Can't go" when really, this needs to be a place to assess interest in suggested events. When a meetup is in the planning phase, it's not reasonable to ask people to commit to going (especially when often no date or location is determined yet) but, as an Organizer, I do want to get a sense of general interest. Please change the language to reflect the assessment nature of "Meetups in the Making".

Continuing with your arbitrary changes, one of those left it out, were the ability to post message (reserved for organizers) in the homepage. This was particularly useful to quick communicate with members and welcome the new ones.

I used to post to my group all the time and got LOTS of feed back.Today I posted a discussion instead,it's so far down on the page , no one knows it's there.So I am going to re post on FB
