Ramy,

To register a tracking with the SSA please refer to the following web page:

http://www.ssa.org/SailplaneLocator?show=blog&id=2006

You can register directly with GlidePort and tracking will show up on the GlidePort site but all of the SSA features may not be available. Therefore please register through your SSA profile even if you have registered with GlidePort. In the future this will be even more important as new features are added.

In regards to browser compatibility, the SSA web host downloads specs on our web usage. Believe it or not the web is accessed with Safari, Chrome or Firefox 94% of the time. These browsers use similar code so Explorer has been ignored for the time being. I realize this may be inconvenient if you are a died in the wool Explorer fan and I apologize. Hopefully our generous developer will be able to work the Explorer kinks out when things slow down. Regarding the mobile device compatibility, the developer (Pedja) has turned on the mobile compatibility from time to time. Due to membership pressure to role this app out for summer 2013 the mobile device feature had to be put on the back burner. I believe the developer will concentrate on the mobile device integration this winter.

Please keep in mind that Pedja has created this app for the free use of soaring enthusiasts and has graciously worked with the SSA to integrate it into our web and our contest system. The development, tech support and hosting is all free of charge to the SSA. There are more exciting developments to come. Hopefully you will find your SSA membership more and more valuable..

John, do you "own 2BB or BB"? I know that BB is your preferred number. You are more plugged into the contest hierarchy than me so if you are having contest number trouble I can't imagine who in the world can fix it for you.. We definitely need to get this fixed for you. Everyone working on this app is in competition mode right now and Pedja himself is heading to Europe to compete. Any serious coding work will not take place until this winter I am afraid. I believe you have my email address if you would like to work on your issue send me a full description and I will see if the SSA administration can solve the issue in Hobbs.
