  1. Warning when you click "Copy E-mail Addresses" if you have private and public profiles checked

    The Mountaineers has a policy that if you are emailing people with a profile set to Private, you should put them in BCC. It would be helpful if the site gave a warning pop-up when you have selected both public and private profiles and click "Copy E-mail Addresses" as the next logical step is that those emails get pasted into a "To" line.

    The warning could simply remind leaders that they should put Private profiles in BCC and maybe link to the policy.

    I'm not entirely sure if using the "Send E-mail" button will properly sort the emails into the…

    In Progress  ·  AdminDevin Lampe (Technical Experience Manager, The Mountaineers) responded

    Hello Travis -

    I am moving this item to 'In Progress' as we should be able to make two small text changes without development hours that would assist with this request.

    1. The emails coming from the website put all contacts in BCC. I agree that having the TO: field is confusing and it should change to show that it is BCC.
    2. We can change the language in the copy email popup to remind people to email in BCC.

  2. Add profile link to roster

    There is a companion issue that made names clickable in the roster on the website: https://feedback.mountaineers.org/forums/273688-general-feedback/suggestions/8764993-make-names-on-roster-open-their-profile-so-you-can

    Here, I would like a column added to the CSV roster export with the link to someone's profile. There's currently a column for whether the profile is private or not, but no column with the actual profile link.

    This would serve the same purpose as the clickable name. In Excel, it will detect that these are links and make them clickable. That makes it easier for me to navigate to someone's profile.

  3. Satellite communicator contact information

    It would be useful to have satellite communicator addresses on the roster along with contact information. This could be voluntarily entered on the member page, not publicly visible, just of use by the roster, similar to the emergency contact.

    The reasoning: Unless replying to a message, a person's Garmin InReach can only be contacted directly using this InReach address. However, these are seldom shared among party members. The ability to directly contact a party member via satellite is a powerful tool in an emergency. Separated party members could communicate with each other. Overdue parties might be contacted. Additional contact would…

  4. Allow Rich Text Editing When Sending Email from the Website SD345

    When sending email from the website, allow the use of simple rich text formatting (bold, italic, hyperlinks, etc.) and adding attachments when sending email from a roster or the carpool features on our website.

  5. Update "Last Activity Led" column in committee rosters to add co-leaders and exclude cancelled trips

    Currently, the "Last Activity Led" column in committee rosters on the website only factors in activities where the contact is listed as the Primary Leader, and includes activities that were cancelled.

    Please exclude cancelled activities from this calculation, and include activities where the contact is listed as a Primary Leader OR a Co-Leader.

  6. Show member/nonmember status on rosters

    For courses/events that generate income, it would be helpful to the committee leadership if we could tell if a registered person is a member or nonmember when we look at the detailed roster. The reason...fee structure is different and we can more easily figure out how much income was generated without having to have staff pull the info for us (when they are already very busy).

    It would also be helpful for activity leaders to know who the guests are (so we can talk more about the Mountaineers/other committees and entice them to join).

    Proposed  ·  AdminDevin Lampe (Technical Experience Manager, The Mountaineers) responded

    On event and course rosters it is possible to see membership status and who is a guest under the "membership status" column or the ".  However, activities do not show this information. Adding this to the activity roster is possible and will be considered for prioritization if 1) it gains additional following or 2) can easily be added to a prioritized roster change request.

  7. No Show Status on Activity should override awarding badges

    No Show status on a roster should not result in badges being awarded
