I fucking hate it still.

Employee self-service? Yeah, it works.

Student self-service? Yeah, right.

12/13/2007 2:55:09 PM

yeah it blows... I can't ever find shit.

12/13/2007 2:55:56 PM

that's because oracle was MADE for employee self-service

not student self-service

that was just an afterthought

12/13/2007 2:57:02 PM

what was wrong with packtracks? everyone knew how to use it and it worked pretty flawlessly in my experience.

12/13/2007 2:57:12 PM

^exactly why I'm still pissed they ditched it

Well, since they took away packtracks, and gave us this faggotry, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect it to work

<- liked packtracks much more.
MyPack is visually and functionally awful.

12/13/2007 3:09:22 PM

all it is is pactracks but obscured through 5 or 6 clicks on a menu tree

Ya, 5 or 6 too many.

12/13/2007 3:33:34 PM

12/13/2007 3:34:29 PM

^fuck that.

I just want to look at my degree audit and be able to change my spring schedule.

the whole nc state website sucks too. luckily you can create your own shortcut menu, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to find shit.

12/13/2007 3:38:44 PM

laff peoplesoft

12/13/2007 3:39:52 PM

From what I understand, Pack Tracks was a homegrown system. They wanted to kill it because, in general, homegrown systems are difficult to support, difficult to upgrade, and God forbid your developers leave, what then? Since we were already using a Peoplesoft portal for Employee self-service, putting the student stuff there made sense.

I do agree, however, that it looks like crap and is hard to find anything in. The UI of Pack Tracks was nicer.

12/13/2007 5:26:56 PM

mypack is so fucking annoying. i click, and it doesn't even fucking open half the time. and that's when i can actually find the link to what i needed.

12/13/2007 5:28:34 PM

i havent had any problems with it since it was put up... i actually like it better than packtracks i think

12/13/2007 5:30:06 PM

I know people who work on campus and they've told me how much they loathe Peoplesoft and trying to interface with it.

12/13/2007 5:30:51 PM

for the past few days its either worked with firefox, or ie...never both at the same time

2 days ago i had to ie it cause it wouldnt show up...then last night i have to firefox it cause ie didnt work...then it switched today again...wtf

12/13/2007 5:32:01 PM

im glad i dont have to deal with this new fangles bullshit


all those fat assed administrative people do is cornrow their nappy ass hair and talk to Shanequa and D'Antwaan on collect phone calls

they dont do shit, thats why they do all this self service crap now, so they can fry chicken in their crockpots and collect a check

12/13/2007 5:33:49 PM

Crawford, I love you so much

12/13/2007 5:38:47 PM

I can't say that I've ever had a single problem using MyPack...ever...

12/13/2007 7:09:30 PM

THANK YOU! I'm so glad this thread is saying what I've been thinking.

Oh not to mention, the new job search/career center thing... I mean I know it's the same system basically, but DARN!!! the old one was WAYYYY more visually appealing and just more functional.

What the heck NC State, what the heck.

12/13/2007 7:38:43 PM

12/13/2007 8:07:26 PM

oh and also

starting this coming fall packtracks will no longer exist (right now it's just wrapped by mypack poral)

it will be replaced with something COMPLETELY NEW and peoplesoft based

12/13/2007 8:13:04 PM

where muh grades y0

12/13/2007 8:19:26 PM

nc state computer systems always seemed hard to use and not quite perfected, like they were trying to depend on them before they got them working properly. webassign's early days were awful. I don't know about now.

12/13/2007 8:28:43 PM

lemme call you a WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAmbulance

12/13/2007 8:39:11 PM

webassign is independent from the university

12/17/2007 10:52:25 PM

for the first time ever this site is giving me issues..... i wanna make sure i actually fucking passed you bastards!!! otherwise this day of drunkenness was a but preemptive...

12/17/2007 10:53:02 PM

im having issues too

12/17/2007 10:53:28 PM

I've always thought out website was a piece of shit, and TRACS/PackTracks was its only redeeming feature. Now we have a superficial redesign of the main page and a shitty replacement to the old registration system.

12/17/2007 10:54:23 PM

i took finals monday, tuesday and wednesday (and friday), and have no grades in yet.

i am not pleased.

just think though, if you're drink enough, you can be happy if you pass and not give a fuck if you failed(at least until you wake up and take a look again).

12/17/2007 10:59:53 PM

I thought it was gay at first, but I'm not having even half of the problems listed in this thread. I think you're all simply afraid of change.
