Board » Technical Support » AL53_SSIta - cannot access SOL Forums - Help Please.

hmm and Jeroen - the following is an exchange of messages in Chiloe SailTalk Chatroom. I cannot find a reason why AL53 SSIta cannot post in the Forum so I said I would post a thread here.

Help please.

Hope you can figure out why there's a snag here!

Thanks.
Hi AL53 SSIta

What happens when you use a different browser, do you have the same problem?
It looks like you use Chrome and IE.
Did you try to sign out and back in again when this problem occurs?

What connection do you use, broadband or mobile access.

Hope this helps a bit, so far questions only ;)
I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.
I have a similar, but different problem. I can't log onto SOL regularly.

Just before I could not log on to SOL on my normal laptop using IE. Tried it on a different laptop and it worked. Now tried on my regular laptop again using Chrome instead of IE and it worked.
RESOLUTION OF AL53's problem by hmm:

Hello all, together with Alberto's help I was able to fix this problem.

If you're interested in the technical reason then here is the explanation but if not, you're just fine knowing that thank's to Alberto I was able to fix this.


The cause seemed to be that the sphene module (third party library we use for forum) keeps track of the last visit for the user to each forum and for some reason for AL53 SSita this was stored two times in the SYC-forum.

Dana1 - sorry can't explain your problem at all. I do know that some SOLers empty their browser cache very regularly but whether that is preference or necessity I don't know. If you have a slow ISP/connection that can cause hiccups, but usually only at the race-screen loading stage.

Some SOLers swear by Chrome, others by IE or FF... personally, I use Chrome as I think it loads quicker but... again it seems to be a preference thing.

Hi,

The idea of removing all SOL cookies would probably work given the fact that IE worked on an other computer. However, I guess I'm not able to find all the SOL cookies, as it still does not work. But, no worries. I will stick to Chrome.

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!
