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.

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!
