Limiting amount of text for "Featured Authors" on the homepage GH2795
On the books homepage (https://www.mountaineers.org/books), some authors will have a lot more text show up on the "Feature Authors" portlet. Can we limit that to only display a maximum of 10 lines (or whatever looks the nicest), perhaps with a "Read More" link to expand the text if needed

We no longer need this because we implemented the full pre-order and backorder system.

Promo Codes: Offer Discount for Books Added via a Registration Process SD425
As a person registering for a course, course activity, trip activity or an event, give me a discount on any of the books that I added to my shopping cart from the book page shown at the end of the registration process. When I'm viewing the recommended books page, during checkout it will show me the amount of discount I'll receive.
If I have a member promo code in the same cart, whichever promo code is greater will apply (the better deal). This book promo code will apply even if I register for the course at a different time.

Promo Code: Bulk Discount for Purchasing from a Series SD484
As a site visitor let me use a promo code to get a bulk discount when I purchase a bunch of items from the same series (e.g. books in the Day Hiking series or backpacking courses/clinics). So we define "series" as any group (or bundle) of items of any kind (books, courses, etc.) that have to be in the cart for the discount to be applied.

Course page not loading with high volume visitation, Speed GH2785
When course participants visit this page at the same time and try and click Manage Registration no one else can visit the course page. Specifically we had about 75 out of the 100 participants were online trying to sign up for their hikes at 9:00AM yesterday. We had 25 hikes that all went "live" for registration at 9:00 (these are our April CHS hikes). The offerings were split evenly -- 12 CHS1 hikes and 13 CHS2 hikes -- and, from what I can see, the participants were attempting to sign up for a real variety, not just 2 or 3…
3 votesWe’ve optimized the course page and manage course activity registration dialog, and added a sever that we can turn on as needed for times like these when there are many people registering for many course activities.

"Suggested Alternate Activities" when Registering for the Waitlist
It would be great if we could have "suggested alternate activities" pop-up when someone registers for the waitlist on an activity. This might look like the page that shows of recommended books. Alternate activities would be of similar difficulty, they would have availability, and they would be open or upcoming. The hope would be to try to get folks off our waitlist and into activities with availability.
3 votesWe think is may be partly fixed by requiring leaders to choose a Leader Rating so that searches are more accurate.

Make Activity Template's Activity Type a Multiselect GH2752
Right now we have a number of leadership clinics which we are having a hard time reporting on since they are categorized by activity type when really we want them tagged as both the activity like Sea Kayaking AND outdoor leadership

Offered Status Deadline - Transparent date/time ~Salesforce
Add specific date/time in offer email for the five-day cut-off. It currently says "5 days" but participants often want a specific time as to when they will be moved off.
This will help us better justify when a person is moved from the offered status and create more transparency in the process.
Current Email:
Congratulations! You were on the waitlist for ACTIVITY to take place on DATE, and a spot has just opened up! You have five days from now to accept this offer.
If you would like to accept this offer, login to your accounthttp://www.mountaineers.org/profile, and…

Improve relevance of Branch News page
The Branch landing page presents a newsfeed (blog) over which the branch has little control and does not make a very useful "home' or "welcoming" page for branch.
Ideally,branches should be able to design/manage landing pages to their liking, but that's another story.
Short of that, I request a better way to prioritize the blogs that appear on that page. As it stands, the page intermixes blogs submitted by the branch with blogs submitted by staff and others. The problem is that the volume of blogs originating from others overwhelms those originating from the branch, causing them to scroll off…
3 votesManaging the blog posts and events branch pages is a team sport. We don’t tag everything to the branch pages, but with organization-wide things that are important for our members we do post them to the branch pages. We do so because assume some people visit only their branch page and don’t always visit our home page.
The design of the branch pages was requested and approved by all our branch’s leadership. Changing their design requires the same level of consideration and approval. At this point, we don’t see a desire for making changes from our branch leaders, but please do send any suggestions to your branch chair so they can bring them before their fellow branch leaders.

Make tag type-ahead search case insensitive GH2325
Make the type-ahead tag search case insensitive. For example, if you type "Everett" or "everett", the "Everett Branch" tag should be in the results list.
