General Feedback

This forum is for you to share ideas and exchange feedback with Mountaineers members, guests, volunteers, and leadership. You may vote for or comment on any idea and will be notified of its status changes. Your feedback helps us prioritize projects and improvements for our organization.

We receive lots of great ideas, so please search the forum before adding a new one. If your idea is not yet in our forum, please post it with a simple title and an explanation, and how it could benefit The Mountaineers. If you want to learn more about what we've already implemented and what is up next, please visit our Technology Blog. Thank you for your participation!

Please note that all our courses, events, trips, course-related activities, clinics, seminars, and lodge stays have forms for you to give feedback when you participate. You’ll get an email reminder to do so just after the activity. If your feedback is of urgent nature it may be best to contact the chair of the committee that sponsors that program directly. Not sure who the chair is? Visit our Committee Chair Directory or contact our Member Services Team at info@mountaineers.org.

If there was a safety incident or near miss, you will have the opportunity for submitting an Incident Report after submitting activity feedback. You may also use the Incident Report button on the activity detail page (from your My Activities page) or contact our Safety Committee directly at safety@mountaineers.org.

  1. Program Center Event "Add Activity" Buttons GH3550

    Make adding an activity at a Program Center easier by adding buttons on the event details page that appear after the event is published. These buttons will start the activity scheduling process for the appropriate program center route/place using the event start and end dates.

  2. Improve Event Detail Page View GH2927

    Improve the event detail page view so that it is more like those for other views like activities, courses and lodge stays. There will be some small re-organization of basic information (e.g. remove phone number), the addition of a tabbed nav area--Location (map and address), Roster (for carpool organization), and Details (mostly info for volunteers)--and showing recommended reading.

  4. Sell Tickets to Events on our Website GH3343/SD669

    We have EventBrite as a “workaround.” It does cost money (fees) and some extra staff time (which can be equated to money). Once implemented, we will have a more fully integtared shopping cart and bet better able to serve and engage with our members and guests.

  5. Make Events work on tagging system for all branches GH2284

    Right now you can't tag an event to multiple calendars and we want to be able to show some events in multiple branches calendars without having to copy and paste. Please make events work this way rather than the folder system to allow greater flexibility and maintain only rsvp roster.

  6. For events, be able to RSVP as a volunteer

    For events, make it possible for people to sign up as a volunteer. Currently, people who RSVP to an event are labeled participants by default. But on the roster, there are 3 roles people can have: event contact, volunteer, or participant. Whoever is managing the roster can re-label people as volunteers, but it would be nice if people could initially RSVP themselves as a volunteer. This would also serve as a recruitment tool for events that need extra volunteers. But maybe this could be a feature that you could turn on or off by adding separate lines in the event…

    We have the ability to set events up to default registrants to be listed as volunteers. This works really well for committee meetings and instructor trainings. When you are creating the event simply go to the RSVP tab and hit the default role for RSVP to be volunteer, it will default to participant. If you use the participant default you can set up a “Want to Volunteer” button on your event that can be set up to email you. There was concern that volunteering for an event requires some back and forth about roles and responsibilities so emailing the leader was helpful.

    Learn how to set this up here: https://www.mountaineers.org/volunteers/leader-resources/branch-committee-how-tos#rsvp

  7. Add More White Space Between Events on Calendar View GH1992

    Add a bit more white space between events on the calendar view so that they do not appear mushed together as they do in some cases.

    Here's an example for August 2016 on https://www.mountaineers.org/about/locations-reservations/seattle-program-center/events

  8. Default location on map in Events GH1781

    For adding events to branches other than Seattle and Tacoma can the location map to defauit somewhere in the Puget Sound Area instead of coordinates so folks can more easily drag the dot around.

  9. Better sort for event calendar contents view GH1837/1955

    When working on Events in Contents view, the oldest events (two years ago, as of now) sort to the top of the list. That means repeatedly paging to the end of the list to get to the Events of interest. Since, every time the page is refreshed, it starts over at the top of the list, the paging effort must be repeated over-and-over and is very time consuming.

    Please change the list to sort in descending date order. Or better yet: present and future dates in ascending order followed by past dates in descending order.

    Also, the event date is…

    The column headers in the “folder contents” view are now spaced correctly and you can sort (as you always have) by clicking on a column header for the forward sort. Click a second time for the reverse sort.

  10. Bring back the ability to post informal weekly activities.

    Bring back the ability to post informal weekly activities like the Volleyball, Greenlake Walk and Evening Outdoor In-line Skate acitvities we used to be able to post on the old web site.

    Events can be found in the header on every single page of the website. The upcoming events are featured in a calendar box in the middle left of the homepage as well. We are working on improved functionality for events, including the ability to RSVP and see the events your are registered for, however we do not plan to add an additional menu item to the main navigation for events.

    We need a program center calendar for Tacoma the way Seattle does.

  13. Improve Program Center Reservation Process GH1167/1168/1169/1175/1176/1177

    Submitting a room reservation for the Seattle Program Center is incredibly time consuming and there is a lot of room for error. For example, the calendar does not show which room is reserved, so you have to click on each event so you can see if the room you want is available. If you're looking for a room in a future month (which is often the case), each time you go back to the calendar, it defaults to the current month, so you then have to scroll again to the date you're looking for and click on the next event…

    Clicking on an item on a calendar opens a popup with info about the activity including a link to the full event details. This prevents you from losing your place in the calendar.

  14. Link Activities to Event/Room Reservation listings

    One of those items that I would be interested in seeing added to the
    capabilities of the new website system, is for when room reservations are
    made that an option exists to simultaneously tie that reservation into an
    actual activity. I know that not all room reservations are
    Mountaineers-related, but I suspect that those that are related would
    generally be associated with an activity (I know that all of mine are so
    far). This would possibly help alleviate date problems (I just noticed I
    was broadcasting a lecture date as being different from the room
    reservation - which was the…
