Linking to documents
It would like the ability to link to documents within the default "link" panel rather then having "files" as a unique type.
The benefit of linking to documents using the "link" method is that users could select if the document should open in a new window (or not) and also select a button style.
Attached is a quick mock-up illustrating how this could look.

Create a process to write off bad debt
There presently is no defined way to write off a bad debt. If someone owes money and is no longer a member they can be archived but their bad debt remains in accounts receivable. Our solution to keep A/R in check is to create a tender called Bad Debt and then apply that as a payment. Though that works it falsely inflates payments received reports which treats it like money that came in. Soooo, need something like a system created bad debt tender that by default does not show up financial reports as a payment but as what it really is - a write off.

Allow a single registration type have multiple prices depending on date
Currently I have to create separate registration types for each discount code, of which we have three (student plus two types of presenters) and regular registrants, so four total. Add those to the registration times (early, regular, and onsite), and now I have 12 for a single event. Even when I hide the date-based ones, not only is it confusing and unattractive for the registrant, it is also difficult to manage with any little edit since I have to do it 12 times.
Ideally, there is a single registration option. The price reflects the date (early, regular, onsite) that I set up. And it automatically calculates any discount code entered.

Allow wordpress sign-on in other direction - when a user logins in WA, he should be logged in in Wordpress too
Under the present implementation if a member logs on to the wordpress site they will be logged on to WA. However, the reverse does not take place; a member logging on to the WA site needs to log on again to get into the WP site. Since wordpress offers tons of speciality pluggins I am using a wordpress site to complement the features that WA does not have (and likely never will) I direct logged in members at the WA site to the wordpress site to fill in these specialty feature holes but the need to double login presents a confusing hurdle.

Allow deleting all topics older than a certain date
We have some forums where there are 50 or more pages of topics - some of which go back 4 or 5 years. I know that topics can be deleted manually, but only one by one, and the way it works now, if you remove the oldest topic, it takes you back to the top of the forum.
I would like to have a way of removing all topics older than a specific date. This would allow pruning of the forum backlogs in an orderly - and much more efficient - fashion.

Event Registration Settings defaults
I would like the ability to set defaults for Event Registrations, so that I don't have to click through several things that I always want to be the same for every event, especially (for me):
Taxes:
Multiple Registrations:
Guest Registrations:
For Guest Registrations:
If Unavailable:I'm sure there are others who always have free events, or always have the same limit, etc., so there should be the ability to set a default for each registration item.
It would be preferable if there was a page under the Events Section of the Settings page where I could set the defaults for new events for each registration field. Currently there are several defaults that I have to manually change for each registration option -- at our conference this year we have 31 different registration options (once release 5.7 comes out for "Limit number of selection for individual registration options" that will be significantly decreased in my case) and it's frustrating to have to manually go through each registration option to confirm that all settings are correct.

continue generating new invoices even if member has not paid previous invoice
Presently we have WA setup to generate invoices on a quarterly basis. However, if a member is overdue in paying their invoice then their status changes, they are no longer considered active, and they no longer get invoiced at the next due date. In our business model we choose to continue to offer them services as we know they eventually will pay. When they then eventually pay the overdue invoice we presently need to manually generate invoices for billing periods that the system did not create invoices for. This can be a big headache. The solution would be an option to allow invoicing to continue even if they have missed payments.

Allow me to sort a members event registrations by event name or type when in "admin view"
When a member has multiple events in their accounts, as the admin I cannot sort the list of event registrations in any way. Should be able to perform a simple sort by function (either date registered, event name or event type should do).

Recurring events: separate registrations for each occurrence (e.g. monthly board meetings)
Original recurring events request was to complex for us to resolve in a single release, so we decided to focus it on a simple scenario where event can have multiple sessions, but event registration is one and for all - like courses. See http://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932-wishlist/suggestions/8825581-recurring-events-scenario-1-event-with-multiple for more details on this one.
Another important scenario is when event is actually a recurring series of events, but each occurrence of an event may have a separate registration and updated description of event. Example - monthly board meetings. Event is created in the beginning of year with a monthly recurring schedule, but each occurrence can be updated as soon as time comes close to this particular event.

option to "not renew"
This might seem obvious, but is there a way for a member to choose to not renew their membership, archive themselves and thus stop the renewal reminder emails?
Each year about a third of our organization ages out but we don't know in advance who they are so we can't proactively archive them on the admin side. They get annoyed when the first renewal reminder emails start showing up, and their first reaction is to bombard the membership chairperson with requests to be removed from the email list. It's a pain.
It this isn't possible, do you have a suggested workaround that doesn't require the membership chair to do anything explicit?
Thanks,
~ Kim

Blog Enhancements
Blogs can be a versatile tool for posting news and announcements. A number of features have been suggested to enhance this but they are scattered around the Wishlist. Perhaps they should be consolidated?
- The one I would like is the ability for the Recent Blog Posts gadget to include the full blog post for the first few. So in addition to the "Show last 5 posts" setting there would be "Show full text of last 2 posts." This would show the last 2 posts in full, and the next 3 in summary. That way we could present substantial information in the limited space on our home page, plus a link to the full blog.
Other desirable features:
- Enter a beginning and ending date for a post. It would appear on the beginning date, and go away on the ending date.
This was mentioned in http://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932-wishlist/suggestions/8826262-way-to-automatically-remove-or-hide-blog-post-as and also http://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932-wishlist/suggestions/8827858-blog-features .
Control whether posts are displayed oldest first or newest first. This makes more sense if suggestion #2 is provided. http://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932-wishlist/suggestions/8826943-reverse-order-of-blog-posts
Control whether the poster's name and/or date are displayed, in both the blog and recent blog posts gadgets. I mentioned this in the above thread.
Allow the poster to specify where in the text the "Read more" link appears. At the least, let the teaser size be specified as in http://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932-wishlist/suggestions/8825692-allow-to-customize-blog-post-summary-teaser-size . But sometimes you only need one line; sometimes you need ten, so it's better for the author to be able to insert the break, subject to a settable line limit.

Allow admin to define multiple sender emails and use them across the system
We've had a number of similar ideas - allow administrators to setup multiple "from" emails addresses (sender email) and use them in various scenarios like email blasts, event reminders, membership emails, etc. Currently all emails are sent from single FROM email, defined at Settings > Your Account > Organization Details > Email Settings
I merged all posts together so we can address them together properly. Quotes from some of original posts and comments:
"To avoid all site-related emails coming from a common sender, and risking email fatigue for our members, it would be terrific if one-off and system emails had a feature to customize the "From" email field to be someone's personal address, or even just a different alias. This would allow emails for specific purposes (e.g., particular forums or events) to come from an appropriate contact rather than our entire organization, which is less likely to be read."
"We would like to have an additional "From email for events", so that events would come from that address instead of the "From email" used everywhere."
"We would like to create additional emails associated with the *******.org domain through WA, so that our organization's officers have org-specific addresses they can send emails to other members from. Thank you!"
"We have various committees (governance, event planning, membership, public relations, and financial), each of which has its own email address. The committee chair and secretary sometimes each have their own email address. We would greatly appreciate having membership-related messages (membership application, invoices, confirmation messages) go to the membership committee email address, and event-related messages (registration, payment) go to the event planning committee address."

Overhaul WA HTML e-Mail to send out REAL HTML standard
A while ago I realized why my RESPONSIVE HTML e-Mails weren't responsive: I found out that the Wild Apricot eMail System does not send out WW3 confirm HTML eMails, as it "cleans" all HTML code from the templates that are not inside the <body> tag while sending it out.
This is a real problem because eMail clients like Apple Mail and others totally depend on the correct DOC Type and <meta> tag structure and content to correctly display HTML and give the viewing device the chance to arrange the layout according to the designer's CSS code. Without the complete HTML structure ---> no correct layout.
It might be that this wasn't recognized by anybody because standard templates look "as if" they are "ok" but when it comes to fully responsive eMail design the Wild Apricot standards do cut off that functionality.
I want to give my customers full viewing pleasure on any mobile device, so I want WA to adapt to current web standards and provide full HTML structured eMails instead of their preproriary eMailer code…
This is what it has to look like (just as an reminder…)
