I do not want to organize or run a group but would be very interested in joining groups. I unfortunately can never find groups of interest in my area. I would like to suggest and show interests of people in the area just in case someone else would like to step up to form a group or maybe there are people who are on the fence about starting a group but don't know if there is enough interest in their community. It would help in many areas to have a place for suggestions and interests.

Is there any way to sort or arrange interests, either alphabetically or by subject? I have many interests, some duplicates of each other, and it's tedious (and therefore not worth the effort) to look through all of them to see if I've listed one or not. Also, a full list of everybody's interests, also arranged systematically, would be very useful and interesting. --Steven Lytle

Organize all lists on Meetup pages with more than, say, 9-10 items. I'm not going to read an unsorted list of hundreds of unrelated topics.

Allow organizers to be able to share group reviews on facebook and other social media sites

If someone wants to be a Meetup group organizer (or co-organizer) they should be required to post their photo. There is no good reason to be anonymous and at the same time ask people to join them for an in-person meetup. Organizers should be visible so members can recognize them at the event and also for safety reasons.

I'd like to change the layout when I open the site so it doesn't show my 1000 interests but rather brings up all my groups. Can I hide my interests and the calendar from my homepage? I know how to hide interests to others.

Please could you add functionality to support different locations?

I live in Hong Kong but am visiting London for a few months. It would be helpful to be able to bring together the groups under My Groups by location, so I can have a London category, or a Hong Kong category.

Secondly, it would be great if we could turn off all notifications for individual locations in one go. For example, while I'm in London, I'd like to turn off e-mail notifications for Hong Kong in a single click, without having to manually update the notification settings for each group.

I should be able to see my upcoming events from any page.

How can I prevent any info I post from appearing in the column "whats happening?" This is an invasion of my privacy as it lets people know where I will be and what I am doing. Not a good idea. I may have to sign up as a fictitious person is this is not changed.

I run a motorcycle meetup and quite often we have multiple meeting points, we are often waiting around waiting for people who have decided to go to the second or third meeting point.
Being able to nominate which meetup point you will be at would be good, also if there was a function to set multiple meeting locations.

Definitely. We want members to see the Group Description. (and not have Matt Graves close the suggestion) Why?
a) So we can all see it like it is being seen by non-members (an make/keep it good)
b) It takes days for a new organizer of a new meetup to figure out where the heck it went.
c) It is a good place to also put a few general announcements or changes to the group.
d) where else can we put general info for the members?
no brainer.

I think it's important as an organiser to identify who has left star ratings for an event..? It's something you definitely should add. Like other sites such as TripAdvisor, the rating has no credibility if it's anonymous. If someone maliciously gives you one star, you don't know who they are to remove them!

Kind regards,

Mark.

Add an area to view and add new Suggested Meetups to the app.
There is not a way to view any Suggested meetups using the app, having this would be wonderful, as I'm sure alot of people only using the meetup app, and they are missing lots of potential meetups because they can't view the ones that are suggested by others and haven't become a 'full blown' meetup yet.

I have received an E_Mail which says the adress of a venue I am using for an event has been changed - because some other event organiser has changed the adress on their event.
I now have the wrong address for my event
Meetup claims this is a shared event venue - it is clearly not - the.new venue is for a Bon Jovi concert at the O2 in London absolutely nothing to do with my event.
This is ludicrous

Currently Organisers are limited to describing their Meetup groups using just 15 topics. Please could you consider raising this to 25-30 topics? In busy metropolitan areas, it is easy to reach out to large numbers of new members with only a few topics listed, however in regional areas such as where I live, extra topics can make all the difference in reaching and bringing in new members. Please consider.

I recently wanted to turn off email notifications for my meetups and learned that I have to customize every one of them individually. That's quite a pain in the toukas!
