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.

Susan Hood Trophy Race 2026

Lake Ontario Offshore Racing (LOOR) welcomes racers to Sailonline’s virtual version of their annual Susan Hood Trophy Race. This year, this pleasant weekender on western Lake Ontario will be of about 60nm in length, and online for convenience will start and finish at the Port Credit Yacht Club (PCYC). At or before the real-life Skipper’s Briefing a decision will be made to race the course clockwise (course Delta) or anti-clockwise (Echo). If there is time we will match this online. As before, the race is the first of two that will count towards a special Sailonline's LOOR Series medals, but this year we sail in Jeanneau Sun Fast 3300s. Bon voyage!

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!

Tasmania to Kamchatka 2026

Welcome to yet another all-new route. Tasmania to Kamchatka, part of our Ocean Championship and also the third leg of the ROW (Round the Old World) series. Be aware of the obstacles on the way, likely to split the fleet. It's like X:mas to X:mas, crossing the same waters, navigating the same archipelagos.
