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!!!!!!

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.

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.

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. See my Post P13 of Feature Request 2008-08-17 22:13:59.

PIC Coastal Classic Yacht Race 2025

Welcome back to Auckland for the 2025 PIC Coastal Classic! In partnership with the New Zealand Multihull Yacht Club, Sailonline is thrilled to race this iconic 118nm dash to Russell. First sailed in 1982 and inspired by early powerboat runs, it’s now a legendary multihull showdown. This year we race Ocean 50 foiling trimarans—fast, agile, and built for offshore performance. Expect tactical challenges, adrenaline-fueled downwind legs, and nail-biting lulls. Finish line rewards? Bacon butties, rum, and bragging rights in beautiful Russell!

Port Huron to Mackinac 2025


First run in 1925, the race from Huron to Mackinac is considered to be the world's longest consecutively run freshwater sailing race. Let's go - 260nm in X-362 Sport's awaits!!
Throw away unnecessary ballast from your boats. Fresh water has less buoyancy, which means greater draft and greater resistance to movement, which means lower speeds, etc.😊

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!

Camel or Balloon 2025 - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!
