Allow setting start and end times, not just dates
Currently, when an activity is created, you can put either one or multiple days, but cannot select the times. This is fine for hikes, which can have the date and time listed in the notes, but for meetings at the Program Center or other course activities that have multiple activities in one day, it would be beneficial to be able to set the timing for the activity as well.
This could possibly also solve the problem of someone being unable to join a short hike in the morning of the same day that they have a zoom meeting at 7pm if both items use start/finsih times.

This idea is moving to priority. At a minimum, we can look to see how our registration emails can be reformatted for phone/email providers to recognize the event for easy auto-saving.

It would also be helpful to be able to sort by time on this webpage https://www.mountaineers.org/activities/activities#c9=&b_start=0

It would be very helpful to be able to add a "start time" field to the green bar on the side of this webpage. If someone is hosting an activity at 5pm on a worknight, it may help increase participation as members don't need to go through the activity to see when it starts. I know this would require changing the activity creation page but it would make my (and I assume other) member's times easier when looking for activities to participate in. https://www.mountaineers.org/activities/activities#c9=&b_start=0

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 very basic functionality and I have been trying to make this change request for more than a year now. -

When you search Activities, you have to click on each result to see the details, click again on the "More" button, and scroll all the way down to see the time under the "Meeting Place and Time" section. Only to find out that the time of the activity is not what works for you. Then I have to navigate to the next item in the search results and do this all over again.
If I have 10 results to look through, that is 30+ clicks and 10+ scrolls.
Totally inefficient.I see this idea was suggested previously, a couple of different ways.

I'd like add that starting and ending times would be helpful for hikes also. Some idea of the approximate duration of the hike activity would be helpful for planning.
