Prior to the latest website update, any committee member was able to click on a committee link on their profile to go to the roster for their committee and also to see the roster for their committee even if they weren't an admin. This functionality has been lost with the update and many committee members found this extremely helpful even if we didn't need full admin privileges. As just one important aspect of this functionality, this is the only way to find one's fellow committee members and send an email to everyone. Would be great for this to be fixed back to the way it was!

This idea is to address via the Mountaineers website a forum or better way of organizing info on trailhead parking, access road conditions, and trail conditions, the concept would be to have an easy convenient way for trip leaders and/or participants (plus any Mountaineers member doing a private trip) to have a central location where they would post information on the status of the trailhead access road, and how much snow or mud there is on the trail, which is always a question mark during the Spring and early Summer.

Currently the only method I am aware of is to go to WTA and look for recent trip reports for a given location which is not difficult to do, but the detail on the road and trail conditions is hit or miss depending on the perspective of the person writing. There are a few WSDOT web locations to check status for a few forest roads, but finding them is not easy. Using prior year trip reports to guesstimate whether there would still be snow blocking the road is not very accurate given year to year fluctuation. Mountaineer trip reports are another source of info, but are less frequently posted, and often too old to be useful for this purpose.

Currently our website rosters and the mailings we send do not support non-English scripts. Our members would like for their names, written in their native languages, to display correctly.

More information from Super Volunteer Ananth Maniam:

When participants Sign up for my trip and on mailers sent to my home and when leaders email back to me. My contact name comes like below
Ananth Maniam (??????? ??????)

This is because the (?????? ?????) are supposed to be my native script
Ananth Maniam (ஆனந்த் மணியம்)

This feature sometime works when I print roster - It works, it doesn't work when participants get their registration emails for trips - or when the Mountaineers mail something to me and the envelope has (??????? ??????)

Is this something you can take it up as a feature request. As I've been working with a lot of my Non-English friends to be proud of their language and have it in the Mountaineers website as well - as a part of the Inclusivity work in the Mountaineers and overall

The incident report exports narratives in HTML. Change to plain text format. Example:

<p>At 1:10 pm 1.5 miles from the trail head on the Spray Park Trail (heading back to Mowich Lake), participant tripped on a root and ended up bumping her brow bone on another root.  Student did not present with any signs of head trauma, the bump site swelled to approximately 2.5 cm in diameter and no bleeding was noted.  Patient reported minor discomfort, no current medications.  Applied a cold compress with bandana soaked with cold creek water and continued to hike out.  Patient still retained normal mentation and reported no significant discomfort associated with the bump.  Advised that she will likely get a black eye over the next couple days, the swelling may not go down right away, and to consult her normal physician if she has concerns.  Student was able to drive herself home with no further medical attention.</p>

Hello Mountaineer Community!

I'm new to the club, so forgive me if this question has either previously been asked or if the answers currently already exist.

Would it be possible to have a recommended course & activity sequence plan that was goal oriented? For example: I would like to climb Mt. Rainier. What courses and activities would be best to position me for such an attempt, and in what sequence?

From what I've seen many of the classes act as stand alone training and education programs with some degree of overlap to ensure critical skill coverage.

Anyway, I just thought I'd ask. Thank you!

When the nightly delayed orders process runs, nothing is done with those with failed credit cards as best I can tell. I am not sure what's best to do here, but I think the options are:

1. Cancel the backorder and update the Salesforce opportunity's Stage to Online Credit Card Problem.




2. Mark the pre-order or backorder as Credit Card Declined on the website and Online Credit Card Problem in Salesforce, and add a "Buy Now" button/link for the customer to move the item, shipping address, and shipping method to the "regular" shopping cart and take them to the checkout page.

Any other options come to mind? Thought s on any of the options?
