2019-04-11 07:33:35 - REPORTING TECHNICAL ISSUES
I am having serious problems with the Santa Monica race it that the messages posted will not clear so I am unable to steer my ship or in fact do anything.
However this does highlight a problem that there is no (appears) way to report a technical fault to be looked at quickly and reported back.
This is the second problem recently and it is destroying my enjoyment of SOL - I'm not prepared to spend hours racing just to be told that because someone has been disadvantaged teh race ius scrubbed, yet never seems to happen when I havea problem

I am sorry you are/were having steering problems and some display issues. It is always useful to try and determine if the problem is local or a more general one, and this is what I do:

1. Clear all caches (browser, Flash, DNS)
2. Check that the latest version of Flash is running
3. Run a cleaner such as CCleaner
4. Reboot

If the problem persists, then this might suggest it is a Sailonline problem, rather than an individual one, and the way of obtaining a pretty speedy response is by emailing admin@sailonline.org and we'll always respond as rapidly and usefully as possible.

Thanks for your help. I have done the steps you suggested but to no avail. The problem is only on the 1 race, the Lisbon & timed race both operate normally.
That said this race does work ok on my laptop - the only difference is the laptop is Win7 32 bit & the PC is Wn7 64 bit - not sure if that is a factor?

having been away I have tried this evening and the race is now operating correctly. Can you please advise me what was done and was I the only person to have been affected?

Nothing was done by Sailonline ... sorry, that is not a particularly helpful response for you, as something clearly was amiss, but no-one else reported any issues during this race.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!
