    • Use consistent terminology for Topic, Interests, Alert List to make searching more effective

      I've been trying to find certain ideas/suggestions regarding "Interests," but because you guys use multiple terms for it ("Topics" and "Alert Lists" I've seen referred to in a few places), people have basically posted the same ideas under different terms. Would be nice if the terminology were consistent.

      • Add a date and description box to payment page

        Please add boxes to input what date and event our payment is being made for. We often have events that must be paid for in advance in addition to our regularly scheduled meetings. Being able to add the date and description to our payment is beneficial to the organizer and the member.

        • Stop limiting event location options to your home zip code

          I schedule events across multiple states. Please end limiting event location options to your home zip. I need to get event locations in NYC or Charlotte or Baltimore. Who thought this improvement was a good idea?

          • I would like to suggest putting the 'About' link back on the homepage. It's more self-explanatory!

            'About' button or link back on the homepage. It's more self-explanatory which makes it easier for potential members to learn ABOUT us

                • Allow us to leave street address blank and add option for a zip code.

                  We don't always want to put a street address for a meetup, especially if it is a private residence. Why not let us put "To be Emailed to those attending' or something similar.
                  Also, adding a zip code field makes more sense than the city & state as far as making the map more accurate.

                  • Make it an option to move the latest activity to the top of the page.

                    We are a moms group and we use our message boards a lot, but now with the change no one is reading the message boards. I have to send an email to everyone so that it is seen and read.

                        • Allow users to disable special announcements from meetup groups

                          Please allow users to disable special announcements from meetup groups.

                          If I want to know what's going on, I'll just look at the site. This spam is getting painful.

                            • Send weekly list on Thurs for Sat- Fri instead of on Sat (too late to make plans).

                              Send out the email with the weekly list of events on Thurs for Sat - Fri of the following week. When the list goes out late on Sat for that same day, it is too late to make plans.

                                let people find out for themselves they are removed. Don't send them an email.

                                • forum should discuss issues with appropriate examples with code.

                                  Since your api document is not providing example codes for implementing meet up api.It found very difficult to finding the exact implementation mainly for the beginners like me.So i am kindly request you to elaborate your api documentation with more examples.
                                  thanks in advance.

                                  • Support additional email address formats

                                    The "email an invitation to my friends" feature only allows email addresses of the form: friend@somewhere.com. However another legal form, and one that is very commonly found in emails and address books is of this form: Joe Friend <friend@somewhere.com. And sometimes that form is even surrounded by double quote marks: "Joe Friend <friend@somewhere.com".

                                    If you could add these two forms to your address parser for this dialog (and anywhere else I can enter an email address), I would really be grateful.

                                      • Instant Email Notification when Subsribed

                                        When subscribed to a thread on the message boards, it would be nice to be notified of responses instantly or at least have that option. Not having this feature makes the boards useless for in depth conversations.
