2018-10-04 03:00:55 - Adobe Flash being phased out.
Some of you like me may have noticed a change in how Chrome handles Flash. If you use Chrome browser, when you open chrome and then go to open a race you get a small banner that says something like "this site requires flash" click to install Flash Player. You then have to click an "allow" button.
In digging around Google I found:
this

This works for now but:
goodbye flash

Seeing has how the SOL Race Engine runs on Flash., how is this going to effect us after next year?

The phasing out of Flash hasn't escaped the attention of Admins and Management... so, together with our wee Tech team, there are discussions on how to best move to html5 before all is lost!
