    • reverse the thread in message board, like email , current mess. to beg. mess. easier to follow

      Reverse the thread in a message board, similar to emails. Current message first and backing up to the first message. Some are really long and it takes a while to get to the current reason for the notice.

          • make it easier for members to message each other and their group, & vice/versa

            some kind of "wall" format that can link messages between members, and between members & their groups; would greatly increase communication on the website and not make it necessary to go through separate email accounts to communicate

            • Make a clear distinction on calendar between "Official" and "In the making" meetups.

              There is no distinction on the calendar between what is an "Official" meetup and what is and "idea/in the making" meetup. Some of my members post ridiculous ideas that will never become a meetup, members should not be able to see that they can RSVP for this idea until it is official. Some members post "More saturday night meetups please" as an idea/in the making. It's not a meetup and should not be showing up on the calendar as such. I love the way both "Official" and "In the making" meetups show up on the calendar, but organizers should have…

                • Search for Meetups by Date

                  Sometimes I have a sudden free day or evening (such as President's Day) and would love to get to a meetup, but I check my meetups and nothing's happening at that time. Would love to be able to search broader for any activities happening on a particular date.

                  • Provide Noticeboard Area

                    I love this site, but unless you are prepared to organise a meetup you can't gauge the interest others may have in a particular group. Having a noticeboard facility would allow prospective organisers the ability of posting an idea and having potential members the opportunity of either contacting others and formulating an appropriate group.

                      • Let a sponsor specify what country(s) they wish to have their offer available in as a parameter

                        If I have a product or service that is only available in the United States, and I can only specifiy a mileage radius to offer my ad in, I might get meetup groups in Canada accepting my offer, even though I can't serve them. No reason you can't have a checkbox saying what countries a sponsor can make their offer available in to avoid this, which will make it less frsutrating both for sponsors and the groups who accept their perk and then find out they can't use them.

                        • dont delete comments when meeting is cancelled and dont remove from home page

                          Recently, we had someone post a comment saying that the meetup would be cancelled, because the main player was sick. Another member in charge of that meetup 'cancelled' it. When he did, it completely removed it from the home page, so now instead of it showing the meetup, but saying it was cancelled- so that people would notice- it just dissapeared. You could see it as canceled in the calender, but even then when you clicked on it, all the past comments posted were deleted. So nobody saw the comment about why it was canceled. Additionally, no email was sent…

                          • Improve the iPhone app's functionality to better resemble to website.

                            The iPhone Meetup app is a good start, but it needs vast improvements in order to be as useful as the website is. It would be nice if you could see and comment on photo albums within the groups you belong as well as view and make posts to the discussion forums as well. It would also be nice to be able to email from the app to the members in your groups as well.
                            The current version of the app just seems too light on function.

                            • Require Hosts to inform others what EXACTLy is going to happen @ meetup

                              I recently went to a dog walk, I thought it was going to be a nice little walk around the pond etc... no idea it was a 2.5 mile walk.

                              I think you should require HOSTS to inform people exactly what is going to happen.
                              If it is a dog walk require the host to tell how many miles or whatever. Many people can't walk 2.5 miles.

                                  We are a volunteer group and would like to thank those for attending the event afterwards. I would like to send one group emai instead of having to do individual emails.

                                  • Fix the grammar in the RSVP notification mail

                                    After the "new meetup" upgrade email notifications for RSVPs have included a glaring grammatical error that really irks me. The issue is in the following phrase:

                                    "<name> just said **they're** going to <event>."

                                    The problem is that "they" (as in "they're") is the third person plural form of a possessive pronoun. It should only be used to refer back to a plural subject, but a single person's name is _not_ plural. The correct way to phrase this is to either pick one of the singular forms or to list multiple singular forms.

                                    For example:
                                    "<name> just said he or she…

                                      • Repair the issued with graphs of group activity

                                        Three issues have been identified with the statistical graphs presented to Meetup groups. Organizers need these graphs in order to reliably assess their performance in recruiting membership and activity. This item is a request to address all three as specified below.

                                        1. The bottom calendar axis needs to be clearly labeled with consistent date values, such as "week ending" accompanied by week-ending dates. Currently the bottom axis shows unlabeled dates which are a function of an obscure algorithm. Graphs labeled in this way can be easily misinterpreted.

                                        2. Intervals with zero activity must be included in the graphs and displayed…

                                        • Include All the Formatting Tools from the BBCode Editor in the New HTML "Additional Details" Editor

                                          One of the main reasons I get dozens of RSVPs is because I make my events stand out using the BBCode editor. I need those same buttons in the new HTML editor so I can change size, center, color, etc. Oddly, we now get better markup tools/buttons for sending an email than we do for the event itself. If I can't code it, it won't make a splash so I won't get RSVPs, etc., so please create/enable those formatting options for HTML.

                                          Thanks!
