Is it just me or is there issues somewhere else? No matter what computer I use I can log in and click 'go to race' but then all see is a dark blue screen.

I'm talking both the SWR leg 3 and Bimini Beach.

It's been like that all day. The results show I'm moving still so I wonder in what direction :)

Likewsse I have the same problem for last 2 days.

I can log in to site, but when click on Go To Race all that comes up is a dark blue/teal screen where the race viewr should be. It is not a Windows Blue Screen of Death as it is only within the browser page.

Just a hunch, but clear your browsers cache (history), restart the browser and try again.

Cheers.

Off duty is right about moving IP addys. When you open the SOL homepage, make sure you are logged in. I have experienced this because I jump around to several networks, from my T-mobile 3G on the boat, to coffee shop wifi, to various friend's networks when housesitting.
Also housekeeping in the database can cause sol to lose your active login.
If you are not logged in the client won't load the race.

I cleaned everything, defragged, sussed for nasties, rebooted and more yet it still said Nope.

We were chatting on Crew and Sloop posted about this thread and when I came to suss the latest I though 'while I'm here' and bingo, i'm allowed to play again :)

No idea what, why or how seeing I've done nothing since the big clean up and it was still saying No.

Weird......

Yes it is a strange one.

Wireless but a good one with a good connection.
Vista Business
Firefox
All fully updated.
Also Flash is the latest version.

The other machine is the same but using XP SP3 on a hard wired high speed line. I haven't tried again with this one for a few days so I'll try again in the morning, it's a work one.

Was all 100% good until I was a day or 2 out from the finish of the World race leg 3. Worked good in the morning but just stopped when I checked in later that day (using the same machine).

It came right the other day, an evening our time NZ, so I got a quick look at the new interface, which I do like, set a DC to the finish of the Bimini Beach. Next morning it wouldn't work again. I think that was the night the SOL team rolled back to the old interface.

I have tried cleaning everything out. It does seem to load more, visibly, after a clean everything. I get to the 'initialising' words then it hangs. If I try again after that but without a clean out all I get is the blue screen.

Watching the modem flashing light, it is doing more when I try after a clean out than without a clean out where it appears it's communicating nothing i.e. the light isn't flashing.

And about now my technical expertise or serious lack of, runs out.

Oh, I haven't seen any other issues with flash or anything on other sites.

The big twist is 2 other SOLers (Otto, PaulR) have logged in pretending to be me and it's worked fine for them. Not to sure their course choices would have been the same as mine though :)

I'm willing to give anything a go to see if it works but being a computer dumbarse someone will have to tell me what that maybe.

Iceland to the Falklands 2026

Welcome to an all-new route, the first of three Round the 'Old World' of Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. To give each leg of the ROW a bit of length we'll try to hug the coasts as little as possible, so starting in Iceland our first leg of the series, which will also be the final leg of our Quarter 1 Ocean Championships takes us 7200nm to the Falklands, the full length of the Atlantic end to end. To make sure we'll get it done within the month we'll be sailing our Maxi Trimaran.

This year, our SOLers will be racing the dynamic Sun Fast 3600 – Jeanneau’s renowned racer-cruiser and a proven flyer downwind. A gentle opener on paper… but coastal tactics and shifting breezes will demand focus from the start!

New Ice Age 2026 - Browerville to Longyearbyen


Our 2026 long-distance ice-boating challenge continues with a second race in Arctic waters, now from Browerville, where we arrived less than a month ago, continuing east, back to Svalbard’s Longyearbyen, leaving Canada’s Ellesmere Island to port and Denmark’s Greenland to starboard. It’s about 2500nm, which, if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you more than a day or three, thus to complete your first (of several) online circumnavigation of the planet of 2026!

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!
