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

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
