Activity Rosters should divide instructors and participants GH 1124
Please divide rosters for participants and instructors for activities and course related activities in the same way that courses are set up. The sort by feature is less helpful than seeing the clear division.

Hide Cancelled activities from Default Find Activities View
Is it possible to add a flag in the Activities View that would hide all cancelled activities. It would be nice even if all cancelled activities were hidden automatically unless you set a checkbox to "Show Cancelled Activities".
1 voteWe just completed this. You’ll find it at the end of the list of filters on Find Activities.

Streamline waitlist registration for course related field trips
Right now if you are registered for one field trip but on the waitlist for another and get off the waitlist you are not automatically removed from the other roster. Ideally there would be some sort of notice reminding the person to cancel off their other list or some sort of automation.
-Submitted by Chris Williams1 voteWe added info to the confirmation emails instructing students to check their roster statuses before confirming the new course registration.

Avoiding duplicates in donor records and regular records SD322/347/348
Need a way for donors who donate without logging in but do have an account to be linked to their other profile so we don't create unnecessary duplicate accounts. Ideally when you type in your email it would have a flag that says, this email is already in the system, do you want to log in and then make your donation" or something like that. There is also a nuance of donations not being lumped together by household when we would want one $500 donation by one member to be lumped with the $500 donation made by the spouse so…

Feature Request - Expiring Badge Notification ~SFOnly
As a user I would like to be notified prior to my badge expiring so that I can arrange to meet requirements or arrange for an extension given that I have a badge that has an expiration date. The problem to avoid is people losing their privileges without notice and being unpleasantly surprised.
Then, when the expiration date is within 90 and 30 days from expiring:
A notification of what badge is about to expire and when will be sent to me (User) 90 days and 30 days prior to the expiration date.

Roster field showing members Branch
Many trips and outings are joined by members from all Branches. Once a trip is created, and the time comes for communicating final information, a field showing the participant's Branch world be most helpful to assist with arranging carpooling.
1 voteWhen we were chatting with many of our leaders and members during the creation of the current carpool system there was a strong consensus that people have the flexibility to share more detailed information about where they are coming from rather than grouping by Branch. We also were not able to share city with the group because of member privacy.
What we came up with instead is the carpool preference field which has 2 parts. One that allows you to pick Drive, Ride, Drive or Ride, Drive- Full Car, Drive- Have Space.
And then part two where you can say. I’m coming from Ravenna and prefer to meet at 65th St Park and Ride.
Anyone signed up for the same trip can then see this detailed information when they go to the roster and click Email Roster.
Leaders are able to see which city people are coming from and occasionally…

Change "downgrade" language
I suggest changing your language on membership "downgrades". Rather than say "downgrade", which has negative connotations, why not say "You have chosen to change your membership type". Using the word downgrade makes it sound like the membership type has fewer benefits or less value than another type.

Have the route/place default view as if the "map" tab had been clicked
When pulling up a route/place, there isn't much showing until you click on the "map" blue tab. Why not have that as default?

Have an option to display Learn items and Explore activities in one screen SD360
If I want to see everything going on at all branches for both Explore (activities) and and Learn (courses/clinics/events) in (for example) Sea Kayaking there is not a straight forward way of doing this. I want to look ahead and decide what in the Sea Kayaking world I might like to do and have it all listed chronologically.
9 votesWe just launched all of these changes:
As part of “single activity courses,” we now show the new “single activity courses” in both Find Activities and Find Course, Clinics and Seminars.
We have improved the site-wide search where one can find any kind of content and be able to filter that search on the type of content desire (e.g. activities, courses and/or events).

Make Peak Pins and other awards more public and interactive on the website
Make Peak Pin and Paddle pins public on the website so members can see all of the neat awards their fellow members have completed and/or are working on. Plus we need to have good descriptions of the requirements for each of the awards.
27 votesWe just completed editing and publishing the award badges that existed on our old website. They are at Membership > Badges, https://www.mountaineers.org/membership/badges/award-peak-pin-badges.
There are two for which we need badge images. We should have those by the end of March.
We’ll next work on adding badges; including content, images and roster; for our organization and branch service awards. We do not yet have this scheduled.
Please take a look and let us know if you have any questions or find anything that needs corrected.
Thanks to all you helped us get these done!

Create a new course content type better suited for our single seminar courses SD296
Create a type of content that is similar to courses but is more useful for the once a year, one-off seminars that we do. It would be connected to a route/place like activities but have course graduation function or the ability to add badges to it and mostly would be good for things like winter scramble seminars or pool sessions that are activities that have learning attached to them but aren't full fledged courses.

Auto Save functionality needed for filling out online forms like Routes/places
Can we create an auto-save for some of the online forms so users can save their work on route-place and activity creation forms and come back to it later if they haven't filled all the required fields?
2 votesAll required fields expect for the title and summary have default values so leaders only have to fill in a couple fields before saving.
Pro ti! If you save your route/place and you navigate away from the page you can find what you created by searching using the magnify glass search field in the top right hand corner
