2008-12-21 04:13:38 - The dreaded double login in IE and Firefox
I have only one machine I can log in with, and only using IE.
All my other machines and browsers get the second login box in the center when I try to login.
Cookies and java are enabled
I can get by using just IE on my laptop, but I would like to use my machine at work too.
(I attached a screenshot)
thanks,
BT

Try on other PC/machine to log into "www.sailonline.org"

The "www." may be needed. This was an earlier issue. IE seems to work OK with just "sailonline.org"
If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

I have the same problem. Works ok on 2 of my machines, but not in Firefox on my primary one (only in IE) I can't see any difference in Firefox settings and indeed disabled my extensions in Firefox for a while to see if any conflict. No difference.
The new client is brilliant otherwise, but the lack of breeze in the malacca straits is driving me mad.

I *think* I fixed this a while ago, but try clearing your cookies on the machines giving you trouble.

Gave that a go - no joy. Think I'll just carry on with IE on that machine. Cheers

I cleared cache, cookies, history,autocomplete, etc manually and with a little app I like to use called ccleaner. Tried full re-boot before and after clearing stuff.
ANyway, I'm still sailing and thanks to no extra fees for steer to wind and delayed course changes I don't need 24hr access to the website! The machine I can get on with is a laptop so I can take it with me.
Thanks for a great game.
Weird that can't get on even with IE on some machines though.

Is it possible that it is a java issue?
I have had to uninstall java and all updates and reinstall the newest version
to fix some glitches like this before.
(I say that not knowing what java really does or if it is even utilized in sailonline).

I am an auto mechanic and customers always ask if it could be something bizarre and unrelated. When car won't start they say "maybe it is because the window makes noise when you roll it down" or something like that.

I solved my login problem today...

I had login saved on my laptop from my initial registration and it worked every time.

On every attempt on other machines I wasn't starting my user name with a capital B.

D'OH!

-Sorry to be a troublesome bugger

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
