No leader permission requests without valid waiver.
If a participant making a request to sign up for a trip does not have a valid waiver, the system should inform the requester directly to resolve the matter before sending the request to the trip leader. As it is now, the system relays the request to the trip leader without regard to waiver status, resulting in a waste of time and effort when a requester's waiver is not valid.
3 votesWe will likely send reminders to sign your waiver once we have better timed email sending capability later this year, making this much less of an issue.

Make names on roster open their profile so you can view all badges, activities and course history GH1490
When I click on participants names in the roster it only shows their
basic profile data. When I click on names in the roster I'm doing it to
see their recent activities and how much they have done recently. So I
have to instead copy and past their name into the search button. Its
time consuming doing this for a whole roster of names. Clicking the
names in the roster should take you right to the profile screen where
you can click someone's activities.1 vote -

Add "Slider Images" to Branch Home Pages SD385
Allow branch admins to add images to their branch 's page that will be "slider images" similar to the main mountaineers.org home page. They will be images only (no special text, boxes or links).
Some thought this was part of the branch home page design, but that was not perfectly clear in specification.

Mileage and Elevation Gain modifications GH1474
Although Leaders can change the mileage and elevation of a trip they took instead of using the default route/place data, they currently have to do this by editing the "activity." It would be one-step easier if this was possible on the same page as when you "close out" the activity. Can we duplicate that data input there as well as in the activity template?
1 voteYou may now update the mileage and elevation gain when closing an activity in addition to the trip results, participant results and volunteer hours. We also improved the instructions on the roster page, so it shoudl be much clearer how to close an activity.

Change Color for links that those with higher permissions can see

Schedule quarterly meetings of all hiking committee leaders to coordinate the scheduling of hikes to match demonstrated demand. .
We need to avoid both too few and too many hikes of the same type, to avoid both long waiting lists and the need to cancel for lack of signup.

When regional chairs offer to help a member with something, follow through!
I have a road trip to Zion coming up and would have liked to post as global activity. I have been a member for only one year so was unable to post. Tacoma Branch Chair offered to help any way he could and though I reached out twice, I received no follow through. Suggest:
1. Changing rules for activity posts so those who have experience and good activities can communicate to others who may be interested in participating.
2. If you are a in a lead position (regional chair) and offer your assistance, follow through to your membership community. It…1 voteChris corresponded with you about these issues. Please let us knwo if you need anything more.

Notification to Course or Activity Leaders when someone registers GH1289
Many leaders have asked for the ability to get a notification of when someone signs up for their trip or course. At the same time, many people are feeling inundated with too many emails and would not want these added to their inbox. The ability to opt in or out of notifications like this when you set up a trip or course has been suggested so I am putting it into this forum to see how many people would like to invest time into developing a solution for this. If possible, maybe people would prefer the choice of either email…
6 votesLeaders can now request to be notified when registrants register or cancel themselves from an activity listing. This option lives on the activity Edit form on the registration tab where you normally enter registration open and close date and enter the capacity for your activity.

Improve Drill Down Navigation in Left Side Bar
I waste a lot of time navigating up and down the hierarchy page-by-page. Certainly, the breadcrumbs and the navigation tree in the left side bar are a great help for more effecient navigation.
Unfortunately, the left sidebar is somewhat limited because at certain levels the expand/collapse arrows no longer work. For example,when you encounter "committees", you cannot drill down further. Instead, you must move your attention to the body of the page and choose a committee from there. Then the hierarchy in the side bar miraculously expands and you can continue drilling down from there. (Until you reach another committees…
1 voteAs you noted, one can now drill down at the committee level. We cannot do this for the branch “home page” because branches requested a home page style that did NOT include the left navigation panel. You do get the lefty navigation back once you’ve gone to the Branch News, Courses & Activities or About Us page.

Volunteer Recognition Badges ~WebsiteContent

Activities can be scheduled for a route/place that has not been published, but only the author and staff can see it. All others will get an error. The more complete the content, the quicker we can review and publish. If you have an immediate need, please feel free to call our Member Services Team.
