Display lifetime (or YTD) mileage and elevation on member profiles
Pull the mileage/elevation data from the walking/hiking/backpacking activities you've participated in and show them on your profile. Would allow us to see who's really getting their steps in!

Allow Waitlist order to be set by timestamp of when participant was waitlisted.
I think it would be useful if there was a separate timestamp for when a participant was added to the waitlist, rather than using their application timestamp. I recognize that the registration timestamp can be adjusted manually, but it would be nice to try to find a systematic approach to save leaders from having to do that manually.
Use case for this is if I post a climb for a specific SIG or students that need a graduation climb, I can prioritize them in the waitlist while also easily putting applicants who don't meet that primary criteria (e.g. graduates) into…

Carpool Bot
This would be an OPT-IN only feature. Create a script that recognizes where each member is coming from without disclosing their precise location. Based on starting locations and where the activity starts i.e. trail head, let participants know based on that data how much of their likely drive routes match up. For example: You would get a notification that you and another participant are likely to share 90% of the same roads to travel to the activity. The user could set the tolerance of how much of the route to share. 70, 80, 90% etc. in order to get a…

Emails generated from email roster button should indicate hike post
When you have the same people on multiple hikes and they use the "email roster" button to communicate with the group, it can be unclear which group they are communicating with unless that participant remembers to include those details in the subject or the body of the email. We should automate including information on which hike post the email was sent from.
For example, if I get an email from "info@moutnaineers" suggesting a post-hike activity and I'm signed up for 10 hikes, I have no idea what date/hike the email refers to. I can look at the reply to but…

Per-badge content hosted (securely) on the website
As a committee chair and various leader, I would like be able to securely post content on the website and control access to it using badges that are awarded by my committee.
The primary use case would be open/close codes, where anyone with the Open/Close badge would be able to access the most recent codes through the website. A secondary use case would be committee- or course-specific combinations for cages or lockers that could also be controlled via badges.
(The underlying feature would be badges linked to RBAC for the website.)

badge clarification
make sure badges actually have a person attatched to maintaining them. Some of the applications are quite extensive and if a person doe an application for a badge and never hears back, that is very frustrating. Also, there are a lot of badges people can get, we should highlight these and celebrate, also each activity should know what badges their branch offers and have budget money to do award celebrations.

course activities being moved to general members
when course activities are moved to general membership, can an email be released to those whose settings are set to get an email when a new activity is posted. From experience, people don't seem to know when hikes/backpacks are moving from a course to general membership. People have to look for the activity. Is this a setting that can be fixed or is it more involved?

Display Activity Start Time in Search Results
Currently, When we search Activities, you have to select each activity and click on "Show More" and scroll down to the bottom of the page, just to see when the activity starts. So, if I can only able to do an activity in the afternoon or later, and if I have 10 results for that day, I will have to click 30+ times, just to see the start time. That is very inconvenient and waste of time.
Any event search has date and time. So next to say 'Tue, May 5, 2026', it should say '8 AM'. This is a…3 votes -
Option to see password on log in page
I recently attempted to log in to my account and when I typed in my password (several times) I got a message that my password was incorrect. This didn't make sense since I had not changed my password. If I could have seen what I had typed in I would have been able to tell if it was my correct password or not. I did a reset. Many websites have an eye symbol at the end of the log in space so individuals can click on it and see if they typed the password in correctly or not. I would…

Customize email frequency for different activity postings
Currently, website users can specify which activities (or courses, etc) they want to receive email notifications about as well as the frequency of those emails (immediately, daily, weekly). It would be great to be able to specify the frequency of emails on a per-activity basis. For example, a user could set their notifications to receive immediate updates about new climbing trips posted but weekly updates about new trail running trips posted.

customizable number of days when a person on the waitlist of a fee course is offered a spot.
Currently the default of the automated email sent to the person who is being offered a spot for a course or clinic is 5 days to take the offer and register. Ideally the number of days for a person to take an offer should be customizable probably when setting up the course (similar to registration start and end date)..
For interim solution, if the automated email can be modified to say that "you may receive an email from the course leader for a specific date to take the offer" which may be less than 5 days.6 votes -
Post application not registration dates for courses.
When a course requires you to "apply" BEFORE you can "register,"it is much more important to know the date when applications begin rather than the date for registration. If someone reads "registration begins November 4th" they might return to the page on November 4th thinking they can register for it when they can't unless they're application has already been accepted.
