You don't think I bothered reading all that claptrap do you?

 

[^woody^]

How do you know it is claptrap without reading it?

I just saw the woody, DevilDamo and SALL2009 usernames and assumed ...........

Go away FMT. Come back next week

He's only joking. I know that he reads other peoples posts just to get clued up about building stuff.

Happy to help

More claptrap?

I have been using the Portal Online Application Service for years without a single problem. I would never go back to paper.

If you are an organisation and require training for new or existing users of the system I understand that the Portal have regional managers who can assist.

Cool, just what FMT has been waiting for

Anyway "portaladvocate", I can't help but think that you may have something to do with the planning portal - I seem to be able to read the clues.

So why is it when I want to submit one document/plan with everything on it (ie building plans and location plans), does the portal require me to submit it twice with a different document number and title?

Why can't I just submit one?

Or will the refurb sort this out?

 

[DevilDamo]

This refurb may also sort out the annoying problem of filenames having "special" characters, which at present, the PP does not like.

And it appears the "change" is happening... right now.

I was advised to submit a multiple plan in one mandatory doc field and then a pdf doc with text stating information included on previous uploaded document!

But you still have to give the plan different filenames as the PP doesn't like it.

Is it just me or does the planning portal seem really slow most of the time after the 'upgrade'?

I second that - when it's accessible at all. Don't know why they had to mend it in the first place. It worked perfectly well before. All they've done is slowed it down and filled it full of bugs - and added nothing as far as I can see.
