Removing the self-serve report a bug feature on CP/VP and telling all cadets now to go to their OC/staff who then have to report it for them. This isn’t helpful for admin burden, and given that the Helpdesk is at best keeping their head above the water this feels like a sure fire way of problems just going missing.

But, by the sounds of it they were going missing anyway…
Despite being logged in a database, with a clearly identifiable user and confirmation of screen they were on
Or deleted/ignored - the only explanation for what I experienced when reporting an issue.

Yes, I don’t understand how that happens.
And if anything surely it will now be worse given they’ll be sent to a generic inbox of an understaffed team. I was lucky to get responses to all the stuff I sent in before, now if you flood that with other things it’s going to be worse.
Don’t know/not in the loop - but could cadets have been using self-serve/report bug to ask “how to’s”?? Which probably just generated additional noise for the helpdesk which may have been best served being dealt with at a lower level???

Possibly - but i can’t help with that because I can’t see what they see, so directing them to me for that doesn’t resolve any problems.
Shed door dead lock has seized and then felt the spring break inside.

Drill the cylinder out?

Lift the roof off, sometimes easier than you think depending on the way it’s built
Did have to do that relatively recently. The young lass that was stuck on the other side of the door, unable to get out, was very impressed.
Solid roof, it was a custom built thingy. Usual builder is coming out monday. Probs need a new door
GMG. The 4G here is so poor I’ve no idea how these people survive!
Parent station can’t provide a small > medium van for a weekend activity, so we are seeking approval to use the hire contract.
If your parents station is my station, that’s because we have them all for an ex this week.
We’ve had to go contract hire too as we don’t have enough…
With lead times in this region I’d be no activity if it was for this weekend 
Just been offered an F150 50/50
Sorry, it’s fir next weekend we have them. Wasn’t very clear.
The fact I need to send multiple emails for VA claims rather than putting on a single email…
They then need to have the exact same email reference & file name, almost asking for it to be lost.
Does anyone in Merseyside Wing / North Region have any insight into the VA Claims via Volunteer Portal?
Claiming via VP is so much easier. You can put multiple activities on one submission and it pulls the info from SMS.
Edit to say I’m in SW.
