2010-11-23 01:11:33 - User iterface changed?
Hello,

I am sort of puzzled: since today (I wasn't online for weeks) I cannot use the comma on the number block of my Apple keyboard for numerically input anymore. Instead I have to use to point on the alpha-keyboard. Some applications are doing the same; this is unconvientent.
Is this due to a change of Apple/Safari or SOL?

cheers

Stu

Hi Stu,
it's the same here since several weeks. I think it came after a flash update.

There was a Safari update as well last week, at least there has been no changes on the SOL side on this.
Hope you can find a fix for it soon, thanks for noting this on the forum.
I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

It was definitely not the last Safari update.

I think K3 got slower from the additional finger move which I need now. May I get a correction factor please?

I had to reload often in the past (Safari and Firefox and Mac and Win). It's gone since i upgraded my DSL from 6 to 16 MB/s.

Hi Bernd, Do you restart the SOL client (just the window) or the browser?
I had no problems whatsoever with 3, 6 and 16MB. Restarting the SOL window helped (i guess cache overflow).
How I said: problems started a week ago (I haven't been online for a while - so I cannot recall the precise date).
Now I have to restart Safari (or Firefox) after around 1 or 2 hours - no matter wether I have input to SOL or not.

The other point is still the comma on the numberblock. It works, when I simulate the point with ALT - Comma. So there most likely there was a flash update in the meantime.
That has changed the same time.

I checked ad-banners and other stuff. But I didn't change anything since month.

Somehow it botheres me ...

regards

Berth

I have an iMac and use both Safari & Firefox browsers, over a Dial-up ISP, for SOL races. Restarts have not been a problem for me.

Although I have sufficient system memory to keep my browser open & run a Neo Office spreadsheet during the race, I regularly check the system memory allocation from the Apple utility "Activity Monitor." Over extended periods of time, much longer than the span you are suggesting, the dark blue "Inactive" portion tends to expand into the available green "Free" memory. The browsers seem to accumulate memory usage without releasing it completely even if they are closed & reloaded.

For this reason I routinely (6 - 8 hours) reboot my system to clear the virtual memory buffers and return everything to a clean slate condition. I can't say whether these steps are actually needed or not but certain practices have been adopted over time like throwing a pinch of salt over one's left shoulder to ward off evil spirits, real or imagined.

@Berth: a reload is sufficient. I don't have to start the browser again. Talking about these problems brought them back :(
I had several hang-ups today already. There are DSL-sync-errors 3-6 times/h. So this time it's no flash or browser issue.

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
