  1. When viewing someones profile make the "My Activities etc" show up differently than one's personal profile GH901

    When browsing another members page, many of the headers appear as if I'm viewing my own page (My Activities, My Profile, My Courses). It's a bit confusing at first whether those will continue navigating another users page, or will take me to my own.

    When viewing someone else’s profile we now have changes to help make it clearer whose profile you are looking at. When you are looking at someone else’s profile it no longer says My Activities or My Courses it simply says Courses and Activities and the person’s name is inserted above so it is clear that it isn’t your profile you are looking through.

  3. Add Email Alerts & Notifications Preferences to My Profile SD508/599/600/601

    This could be allowing people to request an email notification for an activity or course when it becomes available. It could include notifications to committee chairs when leaders list activities sponsored by that committee. Please describe below what you'd specifically like to see as far as email notifications go that would help you sign up for the activities you want or help you manage your committee etc.

    April Leader Survey showed interest in:

    1. Ability to receive a calendar reminder when registration is opening for an activity

    2. Ability to receive a reminder notification about your trip this weekend

    There is now a minimum and maximum age field on courses and activities to avoid having parents sign up for youth specific activities.

  7. Add text in manage registration window regarding activities that have closed GH1256

    If you get off a waitlist for a field trip and want to remove yourself from one that is already closed it is not clear how to do that from the manage registration window for course related activities.

    Please add a tag line to the red text that exists already saying registration has closed to make it say.

    Registration closed Mar 11 5:00 pm. Contact leader to be added or removed from roster.

  10. Enhance promo code limits GH1111

    As discussed, can you please talk to David about adding a “max use” requirement for our Promo Code. Right now you can add a maximum use per person, but not per code. Meaning you can only use a code once, but then you could give me the code and I could use it (also only once).

    Ideally we’d like to create a requirement for promo codes so they can only be used once (in the case of gift membership) which means we don’t’ ever need to go back in and add an expiration date, as it will expire once it…

  12. Ability to see 'what trips i have done with this person'

    It would be great if I could look up a person, and see the trips i've done with them in the past, along with their badges. So many times, we end up playing the 'i've been out with you somewhere. were you on my Norse Peak trip? no? may be on Snoqualmie last year then?' :)

    Members can now see what overlapping past activities they have with other members! The count of overlapping activities is visible in contacts search and roster tabs where the details are shown under a member's profile. This has been a highly requested feature for years - huge shout out to volunteer developer Ian for making it happen!

    We moved "Suggest edit " to be under “Suggest photo” and remove the "Suggest new’ link.

  15. Set up automated autorenewal email and reminder about lapsed membership

    Not currently automated, would be time saver to have more of these automated to ensure member renewal.

  17. "add new comment" box to the top of blog posts and trip reports.

    Previously you had to scroll all the way down through trip reports and blog comments to add a new one instead of having a button at the top

  19. How about alpha sorting the Badges? Its a pain always to scan an unsorted group of data. Grouping badges on the My Profile page. GH 1127

    How about alpha sorting the Badges? Its a pain always to scan an unsorted group of data. Grouping badges on the My Profile page too. Group by type of badge (e.g. (course, skill, leader, award/peak pin) and then sort by name within that group.

  20. Create a UI for staff to process membership dues

    Staff have a 21-step manual process for processing dues paid by check currently. We need a better user-interface and process for this system since a large portion of dues still come via snail mail.
