Allow creation of email alerts for when registration opens
It would be great if there could be an option for email alerts when an activity's registration opens and not just when it is posted. Sure, I can manually add the registration date to my calendar to remind me but it reduces friction to get alerted when I am able to take action on that information. This would also solve for the uncommon instance where the leader changes that registration date after posting (in which case any manual calendar reminder is rendered useless).

Emails generated from email roster button should indicate hike post
When you have the same people on multiple hikes and they use the "email roster" button to communicate with the group, it can be unclear which group they are communicating with unless that participant remembers to include those details in the subject or the body of the email. We should automate including information on which hike post the email was sent from.
For example, if I get an email from "info@moutnaineers" suggesting a post-hike activity and I'm signed up for 10 hikes, I have no idea what date/hike the email refers to. I can look at the reply to but…

Per-badge content hosted (securely) on the website
As a committee chair and various leader, I would like be able to securely post content on the website and control access to it using badges that are awarded by my committee.
The primary use case would be open/close codes, where anyone with the Open/Close badge would be able to access the most recent codes through the website. A secondary use case would be committee- or course-specific combinations for cages or lockers that could also be controlled via badges.
(The underlying feature would be badges linked to RBAC for the website.)

badge clarification
make sure badges actually have a person attatched to maintaining them. Some of the applications are quite extensive and if a person doe an application for a badge and never hears back, that is very frustrating. Also, there are a lot of badges people can get, we should highlight these and celebrate, also each activity should know what badges their branch offers and have budget money to do award celebrations.

course activities being moved to general members
when course activities are moved to general membership, can an email be released to those whose settings are set to get an email when a new activity is posted. From experience, people don't seem to know when hikes/backpacks are moving from a course to general membership. People have to look for the activity. Is this a setting that can be fixed or is it more involved?

Display Activity Start Time in Search Results
Currently, When we search Activities, you have to select each activity and click on "Show More" and scroll down to the bottom of the page, just to see when the activity starts. So, if I can only able to do an activity in the afternoon or later, and if I have 10 results for that day, I will have to click 30+ times, just to see the start time. That is very inconvenient and waste of time.
Any event search has date and time. So next to say 'Tue, May 5, 2026', it should say '8 AM'. This is a…1 vote -
Option to see password on log in page
I recently attempted to log in to my account and when I typed in my password (several times) I got a message that my password was incorrect. This didn't make sense since I had not changed my password. If I could have seen what I had typed in I would have been able to tell if it was my correct password or not. I did a reset. Many websites have an eye symbol at the end of the log in space so individuals can click on it and see if they typed the password in correctly or not. I would…

Customize email frequency for different activity postings
Currently, website users can specify which activities (or courses, etc) they want to receive email notifications about as well as the frequency of those emails (immediately, daily, weekly). It would be great to be able to specify the frequency of emails on a per-activity basis. For example, a user could set their notifications to receive immediate updates about new climbing trips posted but weekly updates about new trail running trips posted.

Add Satellite Number to Print Roster
It would be helpful to add the new Satellite Number field to the Print Roster view. Right now, it shows up only on the Download Roster view.

Create tracking system for behavior complaints filed on the website
When a behavior complaint is filed it sends an email to staff but the information in the form is not compiled anywhere allowing the organization to track total number of complaints per year and type of complaints easily. At a minimum there should be an excel/csv report that compiles this information similar to the incident report spreadsheets that are created.

Make end date of activity / event same as start date by default
I have found that setting the end date can be a bit time-consuming, as it requires navigating the calendar a second time, especially when scheduling events far in the future.
To make this smoother, would it be possible to implement two small changes?
(1) Default the end date to match the start date. A large number of our activities are single-day events, so this would save a step for most postings. Currently, there is a warning that shows up if we missed this step - which would be solved by doing so.
(2) For multi-day events, when a leader does…

I believe we should be able to re-use the function that automatically sets set-up and departure datetime for events. We are in the middle of an iteration at the moment, but will move this to priority as I believe it will require minimal development. If we find that is not the case, we may need to move it back to new.

customizable number of days when a person on the waitlist of a fee course is offered a spot.
Currently the default of the automated email sent to the person who is being offered a spot for a course or clinic is 5 days to take the offer and register. Ideally the number of days for a person to take an offer should be customizable probably when setting up the course (similar to registration start and end date)..
For interim solution, if the automated email can be modified to say that "you may receive an email from the course leader for a specific date to take the offer" which may be less than 5 days.5 votes -
Post application not registration dates for courses.
When a course requires you to "apply" BEFORE you can "register,"it is much more important to know the date when applications begin rather than the date for registration. If someone reads "registration begins November 4th" they might return to the page on November 4th thinking they can register for it when they can't unless they're application has already been accepted.

Trip reporting issue inverting images
It is most frustrating that the website inverts pictures sometimes and there is no recourse. Not sure what can be done about this but it would make filing trip reports faster and easier if the system worked more smoothly and without frustrating glitches like this. Also, improved support for smart phones would be nice so things worked more smoothly on these devices. Many of us don't use computers much anymore and it's frustrating when you have to turn your phone sideways to see the full contents of a field or for an onscreen button to work.
4 votesThis idea is moving from "New" to "Priority". Some technology volunteers and our developer team have looked into what is causing this and it requires changes to a background feature. This is a more involved fix but something we still plan to address.

Update All Forms with Rich Text Fields
Most forms on the website today use a Text field instead of Rich Text. For Equivalency applications and other long forms, this makes it difficult for the intended audience to read the submissions given all formatting is removed.

Rate Hike Preferences
I get daily emails describing upcoming Mountaineers hikes but for the most part they are too challenging or too long for me. I joined GoHike this year to find out about shorter hikes. I prefer hikes that are less than 10 miles. I think if would be great to be able to choose in preferences: Hikes less than 10 miles or Hikes greater than 10 miles/ strenuous.

Notifications based on saved searches
The current method of defining notifications is basic and, simply put, inflexible. It is possible to get notifications based on varies high level criteria (e.g. branch, activity type) but that doesn't mean that the notifications will be meaningful since there are many criteria that can be filtered on in the activity search. It should be possible to create search criteria and save those such that you're notified any activity that matches that criteria. This would save people time by since they won't need to manually filter the activities in the notifications based on this additional criteria.
This would supercede https://feedback.mountaineers.org/forums/273688-general-feedback/suggestions/49808195-alerts-notifications-preferences-for-audience…

"Subscribing To" or "Liking" a Newly Posted Activity To Receive Updates About It
The activity email notification is great but often times it notifies me of activities that have been posted but are not open for registration.
It would be great if I, as a hopeful participant, am notified about an activity I'd like to register for at some point. If I could "like it" or show interest by "subscribing" to the activity that way I can get updates if anything changes regarding the activity (e.g., roster fills, registration date changes, trip cancelled, etc.). The number of "likes" or "subscribers" could be visible on the activity page to notify other participants of levels…

Notify course participants when new field trip/lecture within the course is posted
Once a course is live, leaders can add new field trips and lectures to the course offering. However, participants are often unaware of these additions unless course or activity leaders notify them manually through email or other channels. The Youth Team is currently exploring solutions to automatically notify course students when new activities are added. This system could eventually be expanded to adult courses as well, reducing the administrative burden on leaders by ensuring participants are automatically informed via email.

Allow markup formatting for Carpool Preferences notes
The Carpool Preferences widget provides a "notes" section which allows for free-form content to be provided by the users. This can provide useful information for other participants such as the type of car, passes you have, expected reimbursement rates, etc. A participant may organize this information so it's easily consumed by the reader. The problem is that the formatting is only preserved when viewing the "notes" section in the edit view. When a participant tries to read it, all formatting is removed (e.g. newlines are removed) which can make it very difficult to read the content. This undoes any attempt…
