So Appdude, does company IT work with you at all? It appears they have no clue how their site is actually used and couldn't care less.
"You use a bidding software program? You use an App to access VIPS? Why would anyone do that?"
Here are the answers IT rocket surgeons -
1) Tons of lines to bid. They are of varying quality because your friends making the pairings are also in their own world.
2) It's called checking your schedule for the many changes that GOC likes to throw at us. Checking in on trips, etc.
3) Trip pickup. Again, your friends in GOC have folks who build extra pairing to avoid actually planning 90% of the schedule. Something about they don't have to be of bid pack quality and can't be disputed.

5) Transparent Open Time display. Can actually see the most basic info without clicking on every frickin pairing...like layover city(ies)...duh, IT.
6) Trip posting Bulletin Board. Swap and/or give away trips.
7) Etc., etc.

Appdude - anyone else getting "recap quota in effect" messages after only a few polls? This has been going on for a week... Tried clearing everything in the troubleshooting section...

'Recap quotas'
Had two folks report this over the last three weeks.
Not sure what is going on.
Recaps and checking open time is two separate daily limits in VIPS.
Send feedback via the app so we can figure this out.
