Normaly a reload works, if not try clearing the cache of the browser so no offline date is left, forcing a reload that way.

Other problems come from proxy's and corporate networks.
They tend to pre load a lot of info and this in turn can upset the weather file refresh.

Trying several browsers is a good call as well but in this case you have done this.

SOL have a problem with some ISP's in South Africa. The problem is that they implement caching (to save bandwidth) by placing their customers behind load balanced proxy servers. This in turn causes problems with our current authentication. It could be fixed but there's no quick fix...

Using a proxy server in europe or usa would help but that is not easy to set up either.

Thank's so much for your interest guys
I am out of ideas - but strangely, my 3G card loads, but very slowly (different ISP),
however this is expensive. The ISP denies there is anything wrong, of course. At the office again a different ISP, the game loads perfectly. Seems I will have to change ISP?

Regards
Ray

It is actually *partly* my fault since I didn't properly anticipate this problem when designing the authentication process. Try asking your ISP if you can direct access to websites without going through their proxy (answer is probably no).

Report back - after 1hr37min on the telephone, got an advisor that gave me "secret" LAN settings, bypassing the proxy server as you said Kalie! for any other South African sailors - it's worth it!
Now have no excuses for not being up with the leaders

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!

Iceland to the Falklands 2026

Welcome to an all-new route, the first of three Round the 'Old World' of Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. To give each leg of the ROW a bit of length we'll try to hug the coasts as little as possible, so starting in Iceland our first leg of the series, which will also be the final leg of our Quarter 1 Ocean Championships takes us 7200nm to the Falklands, the full length of the Atlantic end to end. To make sure we'll get it done within the month we'll be sailing our Maxi Trimaran.
