Sorry, Gen Naker, I just haven't checked the forum in several days.
Good internet speed test:

Also needed to correct line in my post. Make that 200 kbps (not mbps).

Got locked out again. Noticed that all of s sudden, with no apparent reason after working fine for the whole day, a flash video wouldn't load from a local new site. Thought that was interesting so tried SOL out of interest and it also was not letting me in. I popped in this morning to see what island my boat was trying to shift and it was all worked fine.

Cleaned out entire browser history and still wouldn't work. Noticed it wouldn't allow me to click the 'Forms and Search History' box. CC Cleaner and still no go. Rebooted and still no go. Had another go at the browser history dump and this time it did let me check the 'forms and search history' box.

Now allowed back in.

So it's either something to do with Flash or something not being cleaned out due to not allowing that 'Forms and History' box to be checked or a combination of the 2. This is using Firefox 10.0.2

I'm going to track this bug or whatever it is and give it a sound kicking then quietly hide it in YYs boat :)

Just posted this as a FYI in case anyone else runs in to a similar issue. look to see if that forms and search history box is checked, I think it has something to do with it but no idea why.

OK, it's something to do with some websites that have Flash. It must be only a very few sites or maybe only certain things in those websites. They are playing with Flash and causing Flash to stop working.

All working fine. Went back to that news video

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/video/news/video.cfm?c_id=1501138&gal_cid=1501138&gallery_id=124418

and it all stopped working again and in doing so also blocked me from getting in to SOL races. I tried one of their other videos, after another clean out, and it worked fine. Go back to that video above and it all goes bad again.

Where is my big stick, I think someone needs 'The Bash!!'.

Note: The SOL Gods are fine and not the target of said stick. It appears SOL is only collateral damage.

At least now I can start leg 5 knowing how to get in and stop crashing into islands...... not that an island or 2 may not get smacked anyway I suspect :)

Oh, and I can get into either the old or the new interfaces now.

I do prefer the new one though.

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!

Thessaloniki to Port Said 2026

Welcome back to the Eastern Mediterranean for the fifth race of our Magical Mediterranean Series. Only marginally less unlikely to be ever raced in real life during SOL’s lifetime than our previous race from Tobruk to Iskenderun, this 710nm race takes us from Greece’s ancient northern port of Thessaloniki through the Aegean island maze, south east into the Levantine Sea to a finish in modern Port Said, in splendid Swan 65s!
