CS Project Sub Forum?

I have, up until recently, been extensively using CS Project on a number of NEC based Civil Engineering projects, and have found it to be a great piece of software that was flexible, and fully met the needs of the projects (fully NEC compliant, with both contractor and client reports easily transferred into Excel etc), and yet it still appears to be underestimated and overlooked by many within the Construction Industry and Planning professionals.

Is there anyone else out there in PP land that use CS Project, and would like to see it getting it's own sub-forum?

What has happened to PP

I haven’t been in PP for a while, but was amazed at how little forum questions are asked, used to be one every few minutes and so few jobs, this site used to be buzzing with activities which raises a few questions:

  1. Where are all the eastern participants gone, asking all the questions, have they found another site to block?
  2. Where are all the jobs? Is it an indication of world crisis or simply a PP popularity crisis?

Introduction info could be better

I have just went through an unplanned shutdown where we did complete a lot of work for an upcoming planned shutdown but more could have been done.
I just joined but there is no guidance for newcomers for either searching forums or posting questions ( ie where to post them to get best response etc)

Consecutive postings

Is it possible to setup the postings so that whenever a PP member attempts to enter consecutive postings within a certain time frame (say 20 minutes) the system will issue a warning it might be a duplicate and not accept the second until a response by the user is received?

If I want to place two consecutive postings on the same thread let it be but making sure it is on purpose and not by error.

If the communication is slow and I press the save button several times, will the system save different postings for every time I enter the save key?

The Guild

M
Mike Testro 👤 Member for 20 years 5 months

Hi Anyone Involved in Developing the Guild

First thing - Please can we have a forum dedicated to Guild development - All info is currently hidden somewhere but pops up in News reports now and again - we need a rolling update.

The latest News Report says that the next review is due in May 2013 - what happened before and what happens next?

I will say it once again - and for the last time -  that I have asked many times to get involved with the accreditatation system but I have been ignored throughout.

Posts Feed?

PP Team,

I've posted 2 topics thus far. When someone responds to my post, I do get an email alert however if I come to the website without using the link in the email alert, it is difficult for me to find the posts I put up (if older than a few days). 

I would think the "My Forum News Feed" link would provide me with just the threads I am following (aka my posted ones and any other I posted on/subscribe to), but it shows ALL of the group posts (so all posts under PV 6 group).

Am I overlooking a link to get to posts that I have postd on only?
