  1. Allow individual images for meetups because of different locations and topics

    Is there a possibility to have an individual image per meetup? I schedule meetups in different parts of NYC and I would like to keep the main image of my meetup group as it is, but still maintain individual images per meetup that reflects the location where the meetup will be held.

    • Comments and tagging after posting the pictures on android

      Comments on photos can't be read or made and tagging can't be done from phone right now. Apart from this discussion boards is the only other feature that makes me access the Web version.

      Thanks for such a great app.

      • Bring back the ability to see a list of the newest Meetup Groups near a given location

        Bring back the ability to see a list of the newest Meetup Groups within so many miles of one's location. I used to be able to do this on the page for finding groups, and until a few years ago, the newest groups were also listed in one of the weekly newsletters.

        I do get e-mails from Meetup when new groups are founded, but only for interests I've already indicated. That means I can miss two kinds of groups:

        1) Groups in categories that I haven't searched or participated in before.

        2) Groups in categories that are worded slightly differently…

        • Combine calendars of My Groups events under one My personal calendar.

          Having all my groups events combined under one personal calendar instead of having to view the calendars at each individual groups would be nice.

          • Organizer communication between groups or between an organization

            They are the 'Organizer Meetup Group "Movement 5 Stars Val d'Agri." For groups linked to the Movement 5 stars would be very useful for the Meetup platform offered the opportunity to communicate with all Meetup Groups Movement 5 Stars. For Example Direct communication between the Organizer. It would be possible to have this implementation?

            • Display the next meetup date alongside the meetup group name in the meetup group list page

              On this page that contains the list of meetups that a member belongs to: http://www.meetup.com/members/62774562/?showAllGroups=true#my-meetup-groups-list

              Instead of clicking each group to see when the next meetup is, can this be displayed near the meetup group name.

              Thanks

              • Provide an easy (one click) way to list all my future meetups (those I have RSVPed to).

                Yes, I can scroll through all future meetups to see which ones I have RSVPed to (much too clunky). Yes, my calendar could be a solution but this doesn't indicate in any way my meetups on a day unless I specify a date.

                I am a Meetup newbie so maybe Meetup already contains what I want.

                • Provide a way to turn off (or perhaps totally eliminate) the ability to RSVP 'No'

                  I feel that the 'No' RSVP option is redundant and leads to spam. If someone doesn't RSVP then they don't; end of story. If they have an abiding need to mention why they haven't RSVPed then surely this could be made as a POST to that meetup.

                  However, perhaps others feel differently to me ;-). Is there a way, as an Organiser, that I can totally stop all 'No's for my meetup or, at least, stop the 'No' emails being emailed to me. Yes, of course I can block all emails for my meetup but I want to know about…

                  • Enable reordering files so you don't have to load them in the order you want them to appear.

                    Several ideas: Alphabetically, by size, by date added, by dragging and dropping to desired location.

                    • Have a LinkedIn integration to post events.

                      It will be easier to transition and promote events across networks

                      • Allow setting reminders for meetups that I have RSVP'd Yes

                        My meetups show up on my calendar; if I copy them to my Calendar app to ger a reminder, I end up with two items in the same time slot. Please allow Meetup to generate a reminder of its own.

                          • Make it easy to copy events FROM Google Calendar.

                            We can copy events scheduled in Meetup to Google Calenders with one click (thank you), but not the other way around (unless I'm missing something). Those of us who manage calendar with multiple editors would like to be able to share events entered by other editors on Meetup easily, without having to enter them individually and manually..

                            • Ads per click

                              Though meetup reaches out to 100 or so potentially interested people, perhaps additional advertisement can be done through ads per click. Where the more clubs you click through, the more advertisements you get for your own club in return. Bonus advertisement if you find a club you like and join it.

                              • Help to SOLVE Visually Impaired user accessibility!!

                                Allow a feature that allows for a sighted person or group organizer to have the ability to create member profiles with a VI's person's information and enter a feature that allows for contact phone numbers to relay meet up information through group voice mail. There is nothing to connect VI community with sighted community for events!! I organize activities for the VI athletic community and we RELY on SIGHTED people to help in athletic activities.

                                • Provide the Capabilty to Import Events

                                  My current Meetup is the Northern Virginia Hiking Club.

                                  We have an access database that every quarter produces our hikes. There are about 50 every quarter.

                                  I need an automated process of getting the database info into meetup. Provide an import feature from an Excel file.

                                  It is very labor intensive to create each event manually by cutting and pasting.

                                    • Notify all who RSVP'd "YES" via e-mail if a meetup is changed.

                                      If I have signed up for a meetup, I want you to e-mail me when that meetup is changed or cancelled.
                                      It's pretty lame that I have to keep checking up to make sure the thing is on, and even worse that if the organizer changes the date, my "YES" is transferred to the new date without my permission or knowledge.

                                      • Be able to share epub or pdf files with other members! Your current copy and paste application is terrible!

                                        When hosting an event, my members take notes. I would like to be able to send them copies of my files instead, either by sending a pdf or an epub file. Let's make it easy for members!

                                        • Not display a list of similar groups every time some one rsvp for an event

                                          Many of the groups that come up after a member rsvp are not related. This is a promotional tool and it is already a column on the home page.
