You will have guessed that I have little time to blog – made worse by another WiFi disaster tonight – this time at my hotel. A Webinar attendee suggests a Tips post however this would be impossible for us to do right now – simply where to start being another stumbling block. So here I shamelessly post his first suggestions (I will name and thank him if he agrees to going public). Please add in the comments box.
Once registered -
*Place the link on your desktop so that you do not have to continue to navigate to the submissions page
*That you need to go to the general PQQ link first and once you have indicated that you wish to show interest then the system will have automatically created your own PQQ ( or ITT) and therefore the next time you enter the system you go to Mr own PQQ or ITT link.
* Remind people that they can print of the PQQ and ITT Application form before filling anything in - so as to peruse it first. (But not after clicking on [response])
* That when you start to complete the information you will need to scroll down a couple of pages before you get the first line of input
* When you start to complete the data remember to constantly save the information ( in case the system times you out) and that the Save button is on the last page of the input form ( Control End) - which is a bit of a pain
* Once saved the system takes you right back up to the top of the application form, and not the last point that you inputted data - real pain again.

And you are surprised that these d**kheads put this out? Surely to God we are all past that point now Simon. This is not a criticism of you. It is just so frustrating dealing with the Alice in Wonderland world that the LSC has created that it makes my blood boil. Rant over. (Well until I find somewhere else to vent my spleen.)

You have misread this post - this is a genuinly good idea from a practitioner trying to pass on his frustration at the unecessarily trying nature of the "e-portal".
Lets help each other out!!

Theme tune to "Auf Wiedersen Pet" perhaps?
