Add cancelation date range
Issue:
I'm a trip leader. A couple days before a trip I don't want anyone new signing up for planning/logistics reasons. The solution for that is to have signup close a couple days early. But then people signed up can't cancel from my trip without emailing me and having me do it (or the Program Center do it), which is a pain for me to do. Since someone can't be signed up for 2 trips at the same time, they might need me to cancel them ASAP so they can sign up for another trip, but I might not be…0 votesChanging from DECLINED to CLOSED to follow the improved and streamlined feedback status options: https://www.mountaineers.org/blog/new-technology-experience-manager-feedback-management-improvements

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.

"My Activities" should be visible on the landing page after the login
I'm internet savvy but didn't discover "My Activities" and other menu items that are currently hidden behind the login name, until recently.
Make the site intuitive like http://www.Meetup.com. It shouldn't require training.1 voteChanging from DECLINED to CLOSED to follow the improved and streamlined feedback status options: https://www.mountaineers.org/blog/new-technology-experience-manager-feedback-management-improvements

Here is info that would be helpful to us if you experience this issue:

- Was there anything odd about when you logged in?
- From where did you log in (e.g. following a link in an email or bookmark/favorite that required log in or navigation directly to mountaineers.org.)?

Move Question Mark
The question mark at the bottom of the web page is right on top of the down arrow on the scroll bar, so its really easy to accidentally click on it, which is very annoying. Can we move the location of the question mark a little so that it doesn't cover the scroll bar? (from Ralph Wessels)
1 voteWe’ve reviewed and discussed and unfortunately, we cannot find a better place for the question mark to live, and no one else has reported this as an issue.
Please do email us at info@mountaineers.org if there’s anything you need.
Thanks again for bring this to our attention!

Make Mountaineers e-newsletters come from different email than activity emails
It's helpful for me to be able to sort through activity related emails separately than e-newsletters. Maybe make these come through as activities@mountaineers.org versus info@mountaineers.org

Bookmarking a place in the activities list SD387
When I’m scrolling through the Activities and something catches my eye, I’ll open it to check out the details. After reading it and deciding to continue, I click the browser back button or the back to activities arrow. Either way it takes me back to the TOP of the activities page even if I had been at the bottom. I have to scroll back down to where I was – if I remember where that was – to continue where I left off. There should be a way to return to where you left off without all the backtracking. Is…

Make Sort Stick on Roster SD581
Make it so when you switch sort order to alpha or by role (like instructor or admin on a committee) it stays while you are editing.
It would also be good to have this on the calendar function as well to remember what date you were on.

Volunteer Recognition Badges ~WebsiteContent
We have Super Volunteer and Key Leader Badges. What other ideas do you have for volunteer recognition badges? This input, combined with our current and future website abilities will help us make the best decisions as we develop ways to recognize the hard work that our volunteers do.

Allow overlapping activities
The website doesn't allow for overlapping activities, for example two 3-day climbs of the same summit which would summit and camp on different days.
For example, one climb of a mountain could be on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and another climb could be Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. One climb thus summits on Saturday, the other on Monday.
Since there is no conflict of having two parties travelling along the same part of a route at the same time, the website should allow registration of activities that don't exactly overlap.
A warning is probably still in order since the trip leaders must make…5 votesChanging from DECLINED to CLOSED to follow the improved and streamlined feedback status options: https://www.mountaineers.org/blog/new-technology-experience-manager-feedback-management-improvements

Donate via a foundation online
Donors whose funds come from a foundation cannot donate online with the current system, they have to mail a check via their foundation. One new donor requested that The Mountaineers look into a way to contribute foundation funds online.

Access to Badge Rosters
Provide access to badge rosters with means for admins to maintain them and correct inaccuracies. I know of no defensible reason to hide this information, especially from committees that need it to do their jobs.

Add tracking mechanism to members page for mileage and altitude gained on club trips for yearly totals-ie:100,000ft gained, etc.
This would enhance club trip participation- esp among members that join groups like Meet Up and others. Would drive demand for more trips- esp hikes, hopefully driving more Leader participation as a result. It'd also be fun- great for bragging rights.

Sea Kayak specific route template
As part of the noted December reworking of route templates, a distinct template for Sea Kayak activities should be developed. Among the changes that should be made would be recognition that multiple launch sites might serve a given water body so the land manager will vary. The entry for land subdivision is usually meaningless and should be omitted. Parking permit requirements again depend on the launch site and so might be moved to the sea kayak activity template. Maximum party size might also be relocated to the activity template. National Forest District is not needed. The GPS maps are problematic.…

Add status column to course roster
The course roster can be improved with a new column to show status of the students and instructosr. Students start out as registered then progress to graduated, cancelled, failed, extended, etc. Instructors may also cancel, no show. Using the role column to carry that fact is not the best because then when the status changes we lose track of the actual role. For example, if the status changes to cancelled, we no longer know if the registration was for a student or an instructor.
By extension, this idea means that "graduated" is a status of the student role, not a…

Link Activities to Event/Room Reservation listings
One of those items that I would be interested in seeing added to the
capabilities of the new website system, is for when room reservations are
made that an option exists to simultaneously tie that reservation into an
actual activity. I know that not all room reservations are
Mountaineers-related, but I suspect that those that are related would
generally be associated with an activity (I know that all of mine are so
far). This would possibly help alleviate date problems (I just noticed I
was broadcasting a lecture date as being different from the room
reservation - which was the…3 votesChanging from DECLINED to CLOSED to follow the improved and streamlined feedback status options: https://www.mountaineers.org/blog/new-technology-experience-manager-feedback-management-improvements
