Remember me on login
I frequently need to login to the mountaineers website, sometimes multiple times per day which is a bit annoying. It would be great to have a remember me checkbox to persist the login.
It appears this was a feature until 2023 https://feedback.mountaineers.org/forums/273688-general-feedback/suggestions/15859615-remember-me-function-on-log-in-page-is-broken-gh20
And a 2024 post was declined without reasoning https://feedback.mountaineers.org/forums/273688-general-feedback/suggestions/47641436-keep-me-logged-in
It would be great if an explanation could be given on why this isn't possible, or options for how some login persisting could be supported.
1 voteHello Jacob -
I was able to meet with the developers and can provide more context! I will not close this idea right away so that you have a chance to reply/comment back. The reason that this feature no longer works is because cookies on browsers changed and the plone-native (what our website runs on) feature for this no longer worked. There are other ways we could potentially re-introduce something like this but we did not pursue these due to the additional security concerns they would introduce. All members logged in have access to their personal PII and potentially saved credit card information (through 3P link service). Leaders have access to other member's PII data for those who have joined their trips. Alternative solutions could cause issues if someone were to log in on public devices that would keep that user logged in and pose a risk. For this reason,…

Alerts & Notifications Preferences for "Audience" Field
Members are able to setup alerts and notifications based on activity type (e.g. "day hiking"), branch, etc. It should be possible to configure notifications based on the audience (e.g. "adults", "20-30 somethings", etc.). This would allow for members to include notifications only for audiences they're interested in.

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…

Support markdown for formatting all input
The website currently uses a rich text to format all content on the website. This can be convenient for some but it can be frustrating and slow to work with. Markdown is easy to write and understand (https://www.markdownguide.org/). It has become a common option on many websites. Please consider supporting markdown as an option and let users specify it as their default preference so that they can use it without having to select it each time they want to post an activity/comment/etc.

Display discounted pricing for Books/Activities
Right now, if you change the price of a book or activity for a "sale", there is no way to distinguish that new sale price for the past regular price. The ask is to create a way to clearly call out discounted prices.

Add Address Verification Service
What: Consider adding an address checker to the website to help manage number of bad addresses (incorrect unit, missing zip code, etc). This tool could help us verify/correct postal addresses.
Why: Potentially important for decreasing amount of mail that is marked undeliverable and returned to the PC4 votesThis idea is moving to priority as we plan on testing out a new way to manage addresses within Salesforce to hopefully clean up addresses.

Phone Number Validation
I noticed in one of my activities that a member put their e-mail in the phone number field. This should not be allowed. Phone numbers should require validation to ensure that they satisfy the expected format.
4 votesThis item is moving to In-Progress and will be worked on in the next few weeks!
Please note, we will not be able to do as thorough validation on the emergency phone number as we are changing the intended use of that field to contain multiple phone numbers so users can easily provide multiple emergency contacts.
