2008-11-29 21:01:28 - Quick button to SOL web site
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.

Transat à Deux 2025

Above you see a single-handed sailor semi-foiling his Beneteau Figaro III to the horizon. It is in fact Ireland’s Sailor of the Year and the overall winner of last year’s Solitaire du Figaro, Tom Dolan. Somehow, we got our hands on a polar for the Class, and rather than trying to surreptitiously track Tom and his mates in the 2025 edition of the Solitaire, sailing rather-short, single-handed legs across the Celtic Sea and Biscay, we thought we’d see how our virtual craft would fare on the Class’s double-handed 3900nm Trans-Atlantic, from somewhere in Brittanny to somewhere in the Caribbean via somewhere in the Canaries. Allez, mes braves!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Toamasina to Baia de l'Oiseau


You may recall that when last we visited Madagascar in the company of Sinbad, the Sultan commanded our intrepid inspirator to seek out fabled islands where in Summer the sun barely set. We did and we returned but the Sultan wasn’t happy with Sinbad’s report, so here we go again, now by SOL Balloon instead of sailing vessel. Expect to be in the air for at least 2100nm and depending on how the wind brings us, anything between two weeks and two months before we shall descend at the Sultan’s given coordinates!
