It would be nice to disable the news feed completely. Since most of the stuff posted is by people, I dont know, removing them, gives me more space to see the events.

When we have 30+ upcoming events, it's very tedious to scroll down, and page down the main list to reference, make edits or copy an event.

Could we please have a "list view" the way that most calendar software does? Can you give us a page view where we can see our list of upcoming, and past, meetups in a simple line by line format list that just uses the event title?

Currently, a member's no-shows are visible only to Organizers and Assistant Organizers. I strongly believe that if everyone could see a person's no-shows it would make them more accountable. People would no-show much less often if they knew everyone could see their no-show record. No-shows should be visible at the very least on the event page that the person no-showed for, if not on the person's actual profile.

I would like to require dates for event suggestions? The problem is if if a suggested meetup doesn't have a date then it never goes away...

* We wish to choose who and what to highlight, when and for how long, please. Thank you!
* We wish to feature and highlight members, not simply sponsors nor vendors, please.
* We wish to feature our charity partners, non-profits and not simply sponsors, please.
We would sincerely appreciate better tools to do these things which we already do. Any help is sincerely appreciated. Thank you!!
As Meetup builds Sponsorship capability and Events tools, please design in the ability AND TOOLS to do similar things for non-sponsors, non-profit partners and simply persons. (Also note, sponsors are not necessarily vendors.)

I would like the notifications that are sent from meetup that "Bob has said he was going to..." to include the date of the event in the body of the email. I don't like to have to go to the site and find what is being talked about

Increased privacy: So that people can't google open groups and read our bios and find out where we are living.

I have time at the present to help translation in Dutch language , if the team would have other people which want to do the same, i could join , Philippe Pauwels pauwels95@hotmail.com

I would love meetup everywhere if i could use some meetup group features such as email members directly or create organizers.

I think some members forget to check the message board and see whats new there, because it is not at the top of the page. So I think it would be good to switch the what's coming up with the rsvp's & message board info. Also that would be a good way to promote meetups to be able to see that your friends are attending.

MAYBES are now NO SHOWS? With these changes to MeetUp, people who have previously RSVP's to events with a MAYBE (these MAYBE rsvp's go back to 2008 in my group) are now showing up as NO SHOWS in their Member Stats. I'm the Owner/Lead Organizer of my grouops and I have NEVER NO SHOW'd. Suddenly, I have 13 NO SHOWS?! No, I had 13 MAYBEs that have been magically converted into NO SHOWS. Ridiculous. Fix This NOW!

A 9-11 magazine can get different ideas as to why 9-11 happened. Horoscopes and all.
Including Science stuff

Including the situation where the emails are non existent or the members have not logged in for 6 months. Some members are receiving emails despite the notifications to the contrary : Also some members dont log in but are still active in the memberships and depend on emailers that they are receiving despite the notifications that indicate otherwise.

My meetup consists of adults and their children. It would be
nice to have a separate RSVP for adults and kids. ie. 6 adults,
10 kids. (In my case, I would want this in French.)

A map to show where members live would help when choosing location for events

The map feature isn't all that. A picture is worth so much when you want people to come on a new hike or to attend a new place. A picture gets higher attendance.

Make drafts and Calendar events searchable for extent of the group's existence. Many events repeat irregularly and the old postings can be used as a convenient posting template.
