In response to some queries I raised in the general discussion forum re self serving orgs and out of area opps Chris Hooper of Do It has made the following suggestions and I would definitely like to say yes please. Any one else that feels these would be useful please add your support here

Hi,
The design of the website tries to consider that the precense of an organisation could be unified to one page, with many contributers. This does mean that you'll see the opportunities if you're an administrator which can be frustrating, though for the volunteer I'd expect this is a better option rather than fragmentation. V-Base is pretty flexible though, so consider the following:
Could we get a consensus on the forum that users could benefit from the following?
-Ability within V-Base to not upload org/opp information to Do-it.org (to aid local promotion)
-Ability within V-Base to hide opportunities (for recruiter's ability to organise effectively)
-Chris
(Do-it Trust)
I would agree that this approach makes sense.
Cambridge Volunteer Centre definitely agrees: Ability within V-Base to not upload org/opp information to Do-it.org would be very useful
Both are needed I believe. Janet B, VC Central Beds.
- Ability within V-Base to not upload org/opp information to Do-it.org (to aid local promotion) - N.B. The reason is not only to aid local promotion; but it's a basic feature that's essential.
-Ability within V-Base to hide opportunities (for recruiter's ability to organise effectively) - also needed.
I think they have recenlty added something but it doesnt work ive deleted an opp on Do-it and wanted to delete it off V-base and when i press delete it gives me a blank screen.
Also when i went to edit one of my opportunites it took me to a page saying do you want to push this new opportunity to do it so i was unable to edit either
We have introduced the new feature to add Local Opportunities and Local organisations. Please check Updated user guide on these topics,

New Organisation - https://v-base.org/users-guide/addnew/new-organisation
Thanks
This is a great feature, thank you. Is there any way that we can change existing orgs or opps to NOT push to do it.
Hi Maureen,
It is not possible to change existing do-it orgs or opps to local.
Thanks
Great - thank you
