	I run two macs and 1 pc all with Firefox. Recently one of the macs and the PC have struggled to load the game viewer. Now on the PC I get the viewer loaded but with a blank white screen - no boats wind etc and the message Loading weather and read www.sailonline.com On the mac it loads but with a massive distortion of the game viewer so I have to scroll left and right to view the boats - and no info in the righthand pannel Meanwhile the second mac is fine (perfect in fact) I have tried 1. rebooting 2. emptying cache and reseting the browsers 3. Downloading the latest version of Flash Any thougts?

	MummaDuck - I have drawn your question to the attention of the more technically minded SOLgods. All that you have done thus far is what I would have suggested!! Let us know how you fix the problem once you do... will be good info for future SOLers!!

	Not sure what the problem might be. Try downloading Chrome for Mac and see if it helps, it bundles its own flash player. --- Last Edited by Kalle Haglunds at 2011-02-05 13:10:48 ---

	Kalle - Rainbowchaser - thanks... weird thing is it is working on my other mac no problems and same set up! I have Crome and have tried that - its better than the other browsers but is still struggling with the INFO box on the right (no windspeed info or VMG info for a new course is showing) Cheers MD

	You might try installing the firefox addon called 'Firebug' which is a debugger for firefox (dont worry this isnt complicated!) Once installed, start firebug (there is an icon in status bar to the far right - use right click) Now click on the 'NET' tab in the firebug window at the bottom of firefox (this displays network activity) and open the sailonline race. Atleast with this tool you can confirm that the data is actully being received (or not) by your browser... There must be some difference between your 2 mac's if one is not functioning properly, perhaps a firewall setting or something? I have included a screenshot of it on my system for you to compare.

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
