"Subscribing To" or "Liking" a Newly Posted Activity To Receive Updates About It
The activity email notification is great but often times it notifies me of activities that have been posted but are not open for registration.
It would be great if I, as a hopeful participant, am notified about an activity I'd like to register for at some point. If I could "like it" or show interest by "subscribing" to the activity that way I can get updates if anything changes regarding the activity (e.g., roster fills, registration date changes, trip cancelled, etc.). The number of "likes" or "subscribers" could be visible on the activity page to notify other participants of levels…

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…

Allow leaders to set a later opening date for instructor/assistant sign up
Allow activity leaders to set a later opening date for instructor/assistant leader sign up for an activity. Right now, you can only set a registration date for participants. Instructor opening date is automatically open as soon as the activity is on the website. This allows instructors/assistant leaders to sign up for activities potentially before the leader is ready for sign ups -- for instance, while a course is in the unpublished status, or when an activity is a backup date that the leader might not want to fill until the originally scheduled date is canceled. It would be better in…

Provide for small window of time for conflicting activities to allow member to choose between the two.
The problem I experienced was that I was interested in a particular activity. I figured it would be a popular activity so I wanted to register as soon as the registration opened. When I tried to do that, I noticed the registration window was greyed out and I saw a message that I had a conflicting activity scheduled. I quickly went back to my list of activities and cancelled the one in conflict which had a waitlist of about 5 but I was a confirmed participant (of the two, my preference would have been for the new activity). In the…

Show leader notes again when requesting leader permission
Many times, people don't read leader notes when requesting leader permission.
Perhaps the leader notes could be shown again when requesting leader permission to ensure that people read them.
The leader notes may contain additional pertinent information about the activity which participants should consider when requesting permission, or may contain specific requests for information, so requests missing this information end up being incomplete.

Leader permission requests should go to co-leaders and mentored leaders as well
Currently, even if an activity with leader permission has a co-leader who is an admin and a contact, that person does not receive leader permission request emails.
The same would apply for mentored leaders.

Rate Hike Preferences
I get daily emails describing upcoming Mountaineers hikes but for the most part they are too challenging or too long for me. I joined GoHike this year to find out about shorter hikes. I prefer hikes that are less than 10 miles. I think if would be great to be able to choose in preferences: Hikes less than 10 miles or Hikes greater than 10 miles/ strenuous.

Add more details to Activity/Course alert emails
When a new activity alert is sent, it would be good to include more details such as summary, leader notes and description. There are many trips that are for a specific audience and it becomes tiring to click on all the trips and get disappointed to not find a trip to register for. Even if we can add a summary to them (as we now see in the find activities page on the website), we at the committee level can ensure the leaders and important info in the summary, especially if the trip is restricted to a specific audience.

Make it possible to save trip postings in an iPhone without having to turn the phone sideways.
Here's another issue, albeit a small one. I can add folks to rosters with my iPhone but I have to turn the phone sideways to landscape mode in order for the Save button to respond. In other words, when the phone is vertical (in portrait mode) the save button does not respond to taps. Not the end of the world but seems odd.

Self populating cell meet place and time
Create a self populating cell that when you’re posting or developing your template for the activity, There’s usually several options to launch from, and the cell could populate on the condition when you select where you were going to launch from it tells you or populates the cell with the meeting place and have an option in the cell that allows for time inputs of meet time and launch time and maybe an option for pre-launch meeting time This would eliminate. This could eliminate the current meat, place and time box completely. Leader could have the notes in there and…

Delayed Send for Auto Email for Activities/Events
I like to hold off on sending emails until the 1-2 days before and the registration has been closed. These emails include things like my personal number, weather conditions, and overall serve as a reminder. Most people find accessing an email from a phone easier than accessing it from the website (and I don't want to include my phone number on postings).
Sometimes the ideal time to send an email conflicts with other activities (ie I might be leading a conditioning hike or doing a race the night before a morning run). To get around this, I will sometimes send…
