We’re contemplating adding a notice somewhat like the discussion area notice (“This part of the site is for…”) when there is an upcoming meetup close (200km?) to you.
I’m reluctant to bold the city names, since everything we do to make one thing in the sidebar more prominent reduces the prominence of everything else in the sidebar (think Las Vegas), and it’s not clear to me that meetups deserve more prominence than they have now, compared to everything else.
There are currently quite a few meetups listed, perhaps it would be better to only show a meetup or two (assuming the nearness ranking works)? This would focus attention on the relevant meetups and also perhaps steal less attention from everywhere else.
Right now ‘nearest meetups’ lists 5 meetups in the sidebar. If this was reduced to listing 1 or 2 meetups (the very closest) then this will focus more attention on the meetups that are shown as well as stealing less attention from other content. I think there probably are not too many people who need are going to pick from 5 meetups and those that do can check out the meetup section.

I don’t think the bold green you use for the first line of recent comments would be too much, but I can see that it’s a judgement call.

I don’t understand.

Good point.
