  1. PLEASE let us decide how many meetups we want to show on the homepage! We don't need to see FIVE!

    My meetups repeat weekly. FIVE (all exactly the same) meetups are shown on the homepage, making my members scroll more that half-way down the homepage to see posts. PLEASE let us choose how many meetups we wish to show on the homepage!

    • Make a sort of "wishlist" button for meetup groups we want to remember but can't join yet

      I am finding meetup groups that I really would love to join but I need to wait a few months to find the time to do it, and in addition I would like to observe them from the outside for a while to see what types of activities they do and decide whether or not its the right group for me. I would like a way to be able to bookmark them or put them in a wishlist so that I can remember the groups I've found.

      • Add keyword filters to Meetup alerts, so we can limit emails about meetups from keyword spammers.

        I have a lot of diverse interests. The more interests I list in my Meetup alerts, the more new meetups I will be alerted about. This is a great feature! But I would like to add a few keywords that I could use to filter the kinds of alerts I receive. That way I can keep from receiving alerts about new Meetup groups that are undesirable, but overlap my interests slightly.

        • Can these events be grouped into categories.

          It’s getting to the point where there’s too much to go through to find what you’re looking for; perhaps offer the option to view by category in the email, such as; Business Builders/Entrepreneurs, Technical networking (coding exchange), business social mixer, breakfast, lunch networking, Happy hour, social events local, adventure and outdoor events, etc

          • Privacy feature that allows us to hide our RSVP or other comments from other people's home page.

            Privacy feature that allows us to hide our RSVP or other comments from other people's home page. What I post to one of my Meetup groups is intended ONLY for that group, not everyone else in my other Meetup groups. I don't want everything I post showing up on other people's home pages, such as the content of my message, the day I typed it, the time I typed it, etc. It is no one's concern. Thank you.

            • change the banner "Let's Meetup and..."

              Make the banner "Let's Meetup and..." changable. This is the most valuable space on the home page and would be great for announcements.

              • Require organizers to explain why you have been removed from the group when they do so

                I just played my first game with the LA Coed Soccer group a day ago and have already been removed. I made several friends and had a good time and was prompted the next day to rate my experience and spoke what was on my mind, I listed the pros & the cons and how things could be improved. Now I find myself removed from the group with no explanation. Naturally the organizer won't reply because he doesn't have to and I already paid so he'll just hang on to it. How much does meetup make off of the organizer's…

                  • Mass deletion of communication in profile AND having private email box in profile

                    Would it EVER be possible for the tech people to put something in the communication/email section of the profile to have a way to delete mass communications for ALL the meetup groups at once AND also could meetup have an email within the profile or if not possible an option where announcements go to one email and personal email from members go to another?

                    I know, I know, that had I not filled out the sign up page so quickly I shoulda (sic) and woulda (sic), read everything and done it correctly and checked the boxes in the first place.…

                    • Please add a Member location map to help organisers choose MeetUp venues

                      My group in Normandy is spread across a huge rural area - I need to know where members are based so I can organise MeetUps for where most of them are!

                      • fix popout photo effect

                        The popout photo effect on an event page should enlarge the photo when it is moused over instead of just displacing the small thumbnail of the photo.

                        • forums are an essential part of a community and needs more visibility (widget) on the front page.

                          i think that the current "news-feed" is great for all activities but it'd be really really helpful to have a widget of some sort that displays current discussions in the forums on the front page. i wish that the forums were designed with greater readability--smaller fonts, especially. everything looks so clunky and big.

                            • Quick event list

                              Please give me a way to see a scrolling list of all events that shows just title and date. Some groups post their monthly meetings a year in advance and/or have lots of events. When I've RSVP'ed for some event in the far future, it takes 3+ clicks on "More meetups" to get back to that event if I want to re-read details or post a comment.

                              • provide organizers a more discreet and polite alternative to "ban a member."

                                Since the main objective of meetup is to foster community, please provide organizers with a polite and discreet way to remove undesirable elements that is more kind than the "ban a member" option which automatically sends the ousted member a practically confrontational email saying 'we don't want you here.'

                                    • put together an organizer and assistant organizer conference. Organizers need support.

                                      I would like Meetup HQ to put together a conference for Organizers and Assistant Organizers. Organizers need support. We're not professionally trained on how to deal with a lot of problems that come up with dealing with groups of people and need some help. Meetup doesn't provide ANYTHING. I feel like Meetup just takes our money for the privilege of posting something I could post for free on Craigslist or Facebook. Meetup also makes it nearly impossible to contact individuals at Meetup for help. A conference might also might provide more interest for people to become assistant organizers. Thanks.
