Normaly a reload works, if not try clearing the cache of the browser so no offline date is left, forcing a reload that way.

Other problems come from proxy's and corporate networks.
They tend to pre load a lot of info and this in turn can upset the weather file refresh.

Trying several browsers is a good call as well but in this case you have done this.

SOL have a problem with some ISP's in South Africa. The problem is that they implement caching (to save bandwidth) by placing their customers behind load balanced proxy servers. This in turn causes problems with our current authentication. It could be fixed but there's no quick fix...

Using a proxy server in europe or usa would help but that is not easy to set up either.

Thank's so much for your interest guys
I am out of ideas - but strangely, my 3G card loads, but very slowly (different ISP),
however this is expensive. The ISP denies there is anything wrong, of course. At the office again a different ISP, the game loads perfectly. Seems I will have to change ISP?

Regards
Ray

It is actually *partly* my fault since I didn't properly anticipate this problem when designing the authentication process. Try asking your ISP if you can direct access to websites without going through their proxy (answer is probably no).

Report back - after 1hr37min on the telephone, got an advisor that gave me "secret" LAN settings, bypassing the proxy server as you said Kalie! for any other South African sailors - it's worth it!
Now have no excuses for not being up with the leaders

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
