It is absolutely insane the amount of time I (and I'm sure many others) waste working with LEEDOnline. The "quirks and bugs" are entirely too numerous to list. I've had to purchase a new computer because for some reason, when they last updated, my old computer that I had been using for the last two years to document, no longer works, even though everything shows up with a green check on the compatibility report. I want to break things every time I have to go in to the website. It has lead to me telling my clients that I will no longer be pursuing LEED certification. Period. It is an absolute waste of their money to pay me to try to figure out what the heck they have done THIS time. And having now certified five projects under v2009, I feel like I have run through five versions of LEED since each project, even though three of them have been basically identical, has grander and grander requirements from the reviewers. Rant over even though I really want to go on ranting.
Now, I need help with the website. Again. Can someone provide input if they've had this issue? Trying to find the answer on the web is impossible because they do not use the same language as shows up with the website (ie: "Credit status is currently "Attempted" and is locked unless you change it to "Open to Update" from the credits page." Searched for this in part and whole and could not find the solution).
We have accepted the final Design Review. I and my consultants are attempting to document the construction credits but I am receiving the above message with all of the credits. When I click on the drop down "Attempted" either nothing happens or it gives me the option to "Withdraw." Anyone have any clue as to how to I can change the credits to "Open to Update" so I can update them?

Caroline - I feel your pain, its not a speedy website or process unfortunately the best results I have received when I reach a point where I am so stuck that I want to throw things has been when I reach out to USGBC and talk to a representative - they can normally help 1-800-795-1747 mornings are less busy. Best of luck!

I received this message and it turned out to be that the final design review had not been accepted. The project could not be edited until the review was accepted (found under the "timeline" tab).
