Posted by Musigny Posts 26 Registered at 2007-11-06 07:18:20	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!!!!!! If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

	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. --- Last Edited by Bruce Hudson at 2008-12-02 20:55:23 --- --- Last Edited by Bruce Hudson at 2008-12-02 20:56:25 ---

	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. If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

	Musigny said @ 2008-11-29 21:01:28: 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. +++++ 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.

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
