2009-02-13 07:59:26 - Problem with Web Client time slider
I have just noticed that there is a problem with the time slider.

The time as indicated on the tooltip as you move the slider and the time displayed below the slider are 30 minutes apart, with the tooltip being ahead at first, but then when the slider indicates Sat Feb 14 01:30, then text below 'jumps' an hour ahead to be 30 minutes ahead of the slider: ie in 1 timestep the text below goes from 0:20 to 1:30. This occured when the text indicated (+17.0h). The indication of how forward into the future is not effected, it increments normally still.

As it is the text which changes behaviour, I will assume the slider tooltip is correct?

I have only just noticed this, so I dont know if the problem has been introduced with the client update on Thursday 12/02/09 or not...

well, I was out for awhile, came home and saw your reply, so i thought I would load the client again to see if it was a once off thing....

Nope, happens again, but this time the switch was at +17.8hrs

I include 2 screenshots at the timesteps before and after it happens, so you can see...

It is not big deal, as I said in OP, will just use tooltip as correct time.

New Ice Age 2026 - Longyearbyen to Browerville


Although we have by no means exhausted the possibilities of ice boating on lakes at high latitudes or high altitudes, it was noticeable that as our 2025 Series progressed, there were calls from time to time for longer-distance challenges, and so in response to these calls we will pretend that global warming has reversed and as a result the coastal waters of Antarctica and Russia and Canada have fully (and smoothly!) frozen over offering us the possibility of a 4-race New Ice Age series in our trusted no-PL DN machines. Our first leg takes us 2600nm from Svalbard’s Longyearbyen east to North Alaska’s Browerville. You’ll be a few days on the ice, so dress warmly and take some provisions; go!
