Bs7671 2015 Paper Vs Digital

[kerching]

I think th £60 is a per annum for three years for,the Bronze

I tried logging in.......zilch, said my ip,was not registered . So I have emailed Liz Wooderson

The link you sent me just "sulked and went all moody on me"....BUT mr Merlot has been assisting and you know how well we get on!

You need to request a new password then use that.

The system went down on Monday, the first day it went live with the new regs, and it seems like you need a new password to get on.

I rung them to find out the score.

Just trying to help...

 

[kerching]

Just thinking that they would contact me to say when it was going live/dead

Ho hum.....technology eh?

 

[Blue Duck]

Its going well then this digital malarkey :| I noted sidewinders dissatisfaction on the iet forum

Comes down to this for me... I can't afford it! Digital that is....

I'd rather stump up for a bit of wood pulp that will hopefully be valid for the next 3 years then re assess my situation then.

I guess this whole subscription thing is about predicting numbers, It stinks IMO. is the IET an NPO or PLC?

Kerch, I think its a security thing, I had to contact them after trying which they expected me to do, they then check your login details and allow you access.They then emailed and said try it now and it was fine.

 

[kerching]

They sent me a new password

Logged in

Sent to a page to change the given password

All seems to work BUT it appears slow on the ipad on the house wireless

Will try taking it for a day out tomorrow to see what transpires or expires!

Just informing

 

[Sidewinder]

Oh, it's slow as F***!

 

[kerching]

Oh, it's slow as F***!

Slow? SLOW!

**** me it has been trying to load on the ipad since my last post at 1015!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sidewinder]

TBH Kerch IMHO it is not fit for purpose, and is unfit for sale under SOGA.

 

[kerching]

Still loading!

 

[kerching]

Right, typed address in instead of following the link

Loaded in about 5 seconds on ipad

Straight to page with yellow and green covers

Search appeared to work BUT the links only went to the Green book versions of the GNs and OSG

When you go to the old GNs and OSG they are the older versions

Am i missing something somewhere?

I'm beginning to think " yeah, papers good, lets cut those trees!"

Nope, the only thing that is "yellow" @ the moment is the regs, everything else, is, to follow...

That explains it then!

Yes had email today saying they are aware that the new system is not fully functional and that it will be improved greatly and bugs will be ironed out and they are sure it will be as good as the bookshelf.

Finished with please continue to use both until the new system is 100% functional.

I got the impression its not launched officially yet based on the email and that people were given links to site try it.

 

[Sidewinder]

It may well be Steve, and, you could well have had an email.

I'm no longer on their Xmas card list!  :slap

As they are no longer using the Bookshelf system for the new amendment then I have no choice other than to use the new platform.

Now I know that I have until June to comply, but I am extremely busy, I also have a new access platform to learn.

It is very different to Bookshelf.

Which is very book oriented.

Which I liked.

The trouble with Bookshelf is that it not sufficiently stable.

When, it works, it works well.

This new platform is no where near like a book.

There are no pages.

Each Chapter is one big page, all the text just blurs into one.

The search works OK, but, it is not totally clear as to which book etc. the results are in immediately.

The forward & back system is very poor.

It seems to be frames driven, I think, but I'm no http programmer.

It was totally unavailable for the first two days.

It crashes on my iPad.

The offline system is simply inadequate.

 

[kerching]

If it is indeed a Beta version then should our subscription not START when the wrinkles are ironed out?

And why could they not launch it on a bookshelf style platform?

Just wondering

 

[Jono Pashley]

If it is still in beta i'd be asking for my money back no way on this earth you have to pay to find bugs in their shitty web app. Should have been custom software not web based.

 

[Sidewinder]

BETA, BETA, I fricking wish it was a BETA version, I would say ALPHA at the best.
