New CFS Members' Area website
« on: April 22, 2013, 11:21:16 AM »
Any thoughts on the new members' area?  Other than the layout, I don't see much different to the old one...

you mean the new "CFS Volunteer Portal"?  It says your login has been sent out but I haven't received anything so don't know.

Interesting that the Terms & Conditions say:
4. All members must comply with the CFS Email policy when using the Microsoft Office 365 email system.

I've never heard of a "CFS Email policy" and there's no link to it I can see.

Also not very encouraging to see "Microsoft Office 365 email system" mentioned, if that's the new one schools are now using then good luck! fortunately I gather you can set it to automatically fwd to your home email.

Or sync them to your mobile and access (send/receive) them from there

Ah-ha my login came in the post yesterday (I was expecting it by email to the address that has been registered for the last umpteen years in TAS, dunno why I'm a little surprised really).
And yes not much different to the old one except more broken links (eg. most of the SOPs I tried).

I find it interesting that the "Find a brigade" function is so prominent, given everyone accessing the site has obviously already found their brigade?

The online learning portal has potential though (if they put more courses on there).
