2011-06-08 19:13:00 - Vista Problem ?
Hi @all

Problem: sailonline.org: website stopps while beeing loaded.
Neither in firefox or in IE7 i can open completly
Mozilla shows 'waiting for connect.facebook.net...' in status-line.

Also other websites have the same problem while most load correctly.

I think, it is a windows setting or browser-setting.
Tried already to check everything.
I have no idea.

I'm using
vista srvpack 2
mozilla firefox 4.01


Kind regards
Achim

Hi Achim - the only suggestion I can offer is to empty your browser cache and then to check that you have the latest version of Flash loaded.

To do this you can either right-click on the game screen (if the frame appears) or if you can't see that at all, then go to:

http://www.adobe.com/ap/products/flashplayer

and click on the download. The Adobe site will tell you if your version of Flash is up to date.

I have brought your post to the attention of the SOL Gods in the Engine Room so maybe they, who are way more techie than me, can help or, perhaps, even another SOLer will help!

Good luck!

Hello Achim,

You aleady noted it in your post, something must be wrong with your computer settings. While loading a Sol page there is no need to wait for a server over at facebook.

Clean up the cache of the browser, check the default page the browser loads at start and have a look if there are any proxy settings incorrect. Cleaning the history might help too.

I suspect IE is having no issues loading the pages, have a look.

Let us know if you got it and what it was.

Jeroen

Hi Folks,
i got it!!!

Tried everything the whole day long...
disabled spybot, firewall, all what was possible to disabel, hacked the registry,...
->same error

downgraded Mozilla to 3.17
->same error

With the nerves at the end
i looked for Windows-Updates and installed 3 optional Updates for my NVIDIA Hardware (grafic-card, Network-adapter)
->everythng works fine ;-)

I suggest it was a problem of the network driver during communication with the DSL-Modem.
That's real computer-live. How stupid.

The cause of all this trouble was that i had to reinstall completly the pc with the original software-release as of the date when i bought (3years ago) it.

Please forgive my long story ;-)
Now i can go to sail IMSYS 2011...


Kind regards
Achim

Shetland Race 2026 - Leg 2


After the thrill of the first leg, we don't linger long in Lerwick, Shetland. Following brief but joyous celebrations, it's time to set sail back across the North Sea to Bergen, Norway, for the gripping second leg of the Shetland Race 2026!

Covering another unpredictable 190 nautical miles, tactical depth and fierce competition await. This year, we take the helm of the Linjett 33. Designed by Mats Gustavsson in 1994 for Sweden's historic Rosättra Båtvarv, this sturdy, quality cruiser-racer has been a Sailonline favourite in northern waters since 2010. Whether you are chasing victory or savoring the voyage, hoist your sails and let the journey home begin!

Brisbane to Keppel Tropical Yacht Race 2026


When the winter weather turns cool in southern Australia, sailors head up to the warmer tropics. Sailors from all over the world make their way to The Great Barrier Reef for the big winter regattas at Hamilton Island, Airlie Beach and Magnetic Island.
This year's B2K will start on 20 June to offer an event suited to a broader range of boats. Sailonline is, once again, joining with the racers from RQYS to race the 343 nautical miles from Brisbane to Keppel Island, this time in our First 44.7. It might be winter down under, but all you will need is shorts and t-shirts.

Newport Bermuda Race 2026


The 636-mile Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet and the Sydney Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. First raced in 1906, now in its 54th biennial, the Race can again also be participated in online. In real life, the race is open to entry in four different division – Double-Handed, St. David's Lighthouse, Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, and Finisterre Division – which in the past we have also offered online. This year, however, our online race will be all-in one-design in silky swift Club Swan 50 yachts, so that your results can count towards SOL’s SUPerBUDdy title, whilst hopefully still giving you a chance of overall line honours against the fastest yachts of the real-life Gibbs Hill Division, especially if you can find some forecast winds that don’t quite work out that way on the real water!
