System Updates

Update 1248 23 July 2025

HOPS Videos | Purchase Orders | Help Pages | HOPS Updates | Grease Tops PURCHASE ORDERS The purchase order system will be under maintenance from 7pm (UK (BST) time) tonight for maintenance work. If you find the PO system accessible then it is fine to use. Some/all parts of it will be unavailable as work progresses. It will be back online by the morning (UK time). There should be no changes to functionality (apart from bug fixes) - if you find anything not working as it should please let us know. --- HOPS VIDEOS We are making good progress re-uploading HOPS videos to YouTube. However, it is taking a lot of sifting through videos from the cutting room floor to find all the right tapes. If anyone wants to admit to having pirated the videos and wants to give us back a copy of the ones we have not yet found please let us know! Thank you. https://www.youtube.com/@HOPSHeritageRailways --- HELP PAGES We have reviewed and updated some further Help pages: Guidance for new users of HOPS: https://www.hops.org.uk/help/new-user We hops this will be useful for Admins to send to new users of the system to explain the first steps. Managing occurrences of two (or more!) users with the same name at the same railway: https://www.hops.org.uk/help/handling-duplicate-names Resetting Passwords: https://www.hops.org.uk/help/reset-users-password Email address validation: https://www.hops.org.uk/help/email-address-validation We hops these are helpful. Help Topics can be viewed via System > Help Topics, or via the question mark icon in the top right corner of HOPS, or this link: https://www.hops.org.uk/help We are working to update and develop as many pages as we can. --- HOPS UPDATES We try our best to communicate information about HOPS services and developments as best we can. This is to note that, in times of service disruption, updates will be posted on the main HOPS Facebook page, where they can be viewed by admins and users - https://www.facebook.com/HeritageOps/ We will no longer post updates on X (formerly Twitter). In normal operation, updates are posted on HOPS in System > Updates ( www.hops.org.uk/updates ) and on either HOPS Admins Group or the main HOPS Facebook page (depending on the target audience). You can subscribe (and unsubscribe) to email update notifications via the Updates link above. --- GREASE TOP HATS After a long wait, we are pleased to say that we now have all the sizes of Grease Top Hats back in stock in our shop: https://www.heritage-ops.org.uk/product/160
