I suggest that there should be a button in the "client" which led to the SOL web site, of course under a new tab or new window.

No. I disagree.

Just make SOL your HOME PAGE.

Then IE has a button already, and it works!

Don't you just hate people who don't log onto SOL first thing!!!!!!

Paul, having the link will help those who may have to use other PCs. Now it is Flash based, access has become much easier! (I can't see a link doing any harm.) I liked the link to the leader board on the old client as well.

Yes Bruce. A frivallous remark by me, but I do have my "HOME" page set to SOL.

However there were a lot of comments in Chat about Log On issues before the Flash client was released, and Kalle addressed those items. I also made emailed lots of other comments when a select few were trialling the Flash Version earlier.

17/11/2008 23:55:09 I posted:
LOG OUT button.
I think a "logout" button to click on would be very useful on the sailing client, say to the Right of "CHAT" tab.
(Forum post P19)

Others posted their comments, but I only have a log of my comments, not all suggestions made by others.

There was comments in Chat a while ago that there should be a list and status of different ideas on the SOL site. People can review this and hopefully to avoid multiple postings for the same feature. I even sent Kalle my spreadsheet log as a possible format.

So yes all suggestions are welcome. I've made 50+ suggestions. Some have been done, others may be on the R&D list. It's a question of programming resouces by the R&D guys.

Now if all racers joined SYC, it would obviously help money wise.

So Join SYC and post your ideas in the Forum.

Serious answer.
ADD web pages for SOL Home, Races & Forum pages to your "Favourites" list.
Then click on new TAB and select from Favourites.

3 Clicks and your there.
I always do this!

I would rather do this and let Kalle do more "sailing" programming, than spend time writing code where there is a simple work around for most racers using M$ IE.
(Micro$oft Internet Explorer)

e.g. show real charts of the oceans, rather than just plain pale blue. See my Post P13 of Feature Request 2008-08-17 22:13:59.

A number of our races in this new Magical Mediterranean series will be partnership with famous real-life races, but this first race is pure fiction - 780nm in refurbed IMOCA 60s, past or through the Balearic Isles and on into the Alboran Sea, to a finish off Nador on the Maroc Mediterranean coast.

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Guam to Ouvéa


The third race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us southeastward now down the Pacific, from Guam’s Apra Harbour at 13.5 degrees North, back across the Equator to the glorious New Caledonian resort island of Ouvéa, on the edge of the Tropic of Capricorn at 20.5 degrees South. It’s 2400nm, and there’s more than a few other islands in the way, so mind where you go in your Ocean 50s. Race #1981
