So cannot even get started. Apparently I am stuck in Ireland drinking beer. My son says he can see me there.

Looked for clues on the websites but none work. Others obviously have the same problem

Hi

Cleaning the cache of the browser helps out most commen problems with no display. Check if you have a good version of flash installed (not needed if it was ok before).

We have some cases of people behind a proxy-server that experiencing problems.

Let us know if this helps, sorry to be so technical.

Still stuck in the pub.

Flash upgraded and the other one.
Cache cleaned.
Tried IE and Firefox.
Closed firewall (and reopened it).
Turned modem thing off and on.
Swore at the computer.

First time this sort of thing has happened.

Strange

So sailonline did work before you had this problem?
You have sailed in other races without issues?

Real strange I will see what other tips I can give.

Yup. It is strange. Mind you, I am behind the Great China Firewall, but it lets me into the website http://www.sailonline.org/windy/run/147/# and I get the screen with three icons on the left top, and the message at the bottom, "waiting to download the weather map".

If it was the Great Chinese Firewall, they would not let me into the website at all, never mind make posts..

I just registered on http://www.sailonline.org/windy/run/148/# but the same thing. I have no problem with the Volvo race and finished 1,000,000th or something.

If you are in China it's probably proxy servers that is in some way confusing our servers....

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!
