Is it just me or is there issues somewhere else? No matter what computer I use I can log in and click 'go to race' but then all see is a dark blue screen.

I'm talking both the SWR leg 3 and Bimini Beach.

It's been like that all day. The results show I'm moving still so I wonder in what direction :)

Likewsse I have the same problem for last 2 days.

I can log in to site, but when click on Go To Race all that comes up is a dark blue/teal screen where the race viewr should be. It is not a Windows Blue Screen of Death as it is only within the browser page.

Just a hunch, but clear your browsers cache (history), restart the browser and try again.

Cheers.

Off duty is right about moving IP addys. When you open the SOL homepage, make sure you are logged in. I have experienced this because I jump around to several networks, from my T-mobile 3G on the boat, to coffee shop wifi, to various friend's networks when housesitting.
Also housekeeping in the database can cause sol to lose your active login.
If you are not logged in the client won't load the race.

I cleaned everything, defragged, sussed for nasties, rebooted and more yet it still said Nope.

We were chatting on Crew and Sloop posted about this thread and when I came to suss the latest I though 'while I'm here' and bingo, i'm allowed to play again :)

No idea what, why or how seeing I've done nothing since the big clean up and it was still saying No.

Weird......

Yes it is a strange one.

Wireless but a good one with a good connection.
Vista Business
Firefox
All fully updated.
Also Flash is the latest version.

The other machine is the same but using XP SP3 on a hard wired high speed line. I haven't tried again with this one for a few days so I'll try again in the morning, it's a work one.

Was all 100% good until I was a day or 2 out from the finish of the World race leg 3. Worked good in the morning but just stopped when I checked in later that day (using the same machine).

It came right the other day, an evening our time NZ, so I got a quick look at the new interface, which I do like, set a DC to the finish of the Bimini Beach. Next morning it wouldn't work again. I think that was the night the SOL team rolled back to the old interface.

I have tried cleaning everything out. It does seem to load more, visibly, after a clean everything. I get to the 'initialising' words then it hangs. If I try again after that but without a clean out all I get is the blue screen.

Watching the modem flashing light, it is doing more when I try after a clean out than without a clean out where it appears it's communicating nothing i.e. the light isn't flashing.

And about now my technical expertise or serious lack of, runs out.

Oh, I haven't seen any other issues with flash or anything on other sites.

The big twist is 2 other SOLers (Otto, PaulR) have logged in pretending to be me and it's worked fine for them. Not to sure their course choices would have been the same as mine though :)

I'm willing to give anything a go to see if it works but being a computer dumbarse someone will have to tell me what that maybe.

Africa by Sea - Swakopmund to Maputo 2025


Time again to continue our exploration of Africa by Sea, which now takes us around the tip of the continent at Cape Agulhas and up the coast of South Africa to Mozambique’s marvellous Maputo, where we should find good anchorage in the bend of the Rio Espirito Santo (Umbuluzi) once we’ve cleared the 60m high Maputo - Katembe suspension bridge. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be glad to be sailing our comfortable and sturdy Xp-55, as we will certainly experience more headwinds!

TuziTekwini TIMED Race 2025

Sailonline is delighted to have been invited to partner with the King Shaka Yacht Club (KSYC) of South Africa to bring a virtual version of the Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Raceto our online community.
The Tuzi Tekwini Ocean Race is a near 90 nautical mile race down the east coast of South Africa from the port of Richards Bay to the port of Durban. Achievable in a single day and seen by some as an easy mile-builder, the course is more tactical than some think and should not be underestimated. This iconic race promises to be an unforgettable experience for yachting enthusiasts.
Our online version of the race will be a TIMEDrace so you may RE-REGISTER HEREto try again after finishing a run. You will have 13 days and 11 hours to test your skill and decision making after the race opens.
