Welcome to the 21st century TBM. I hope it continues to be a learning process for you.

Pray tell me, in the 21st century, why does the sign-up form ask about
this in the first place?

skylines.aero is integrating with the weglide platform in some way. You can see the developments at https://github.com/skylines-project/...e&type=commits

Upon posting my last flight to Skylines, I noticed a check box to also
post my flight on weglide. I left it blank. I use Skylines to get the
stats for my logbook so what's in it for me to use another website?

Do you care about sharing your flight with others? If not, then "nothing". Sharing is the major
reason I use the OLC; the logbook data is irrelevant to me, as I know what it is before I get
out of the glider.

... so what's in it for me to use another website?
Nothing for you other than increasing your online footprint and giving some marketing company one more piece of the puzzle that makes up you so they can blast you with even more custom-tailored advertisement or even steal your identity.
Shoot - where did I leave my tinfoil hat .... ? ;-)

Yet another online flight sharing tool without logbook capability, at least not yet.
I hope they planning to provide online logbook capability, with summary, stats etc, in proper format to be exported and printed.
the only one which had this capability was the paid subscription of crosscountry.aero but it is no longer working.
Skylines does not provide this functionality.
OLC does but it does not include all important parameters and does not provide summary and statistics, and the flight time is actually logger time and not flight time.
not sure why it is so difficult to included a proper electronic logbook so one does not need to use excel or, god forbid, a paper logbook...

Yes why not angrily complain about missing feature in service that is free and barely at beta stage.

Not angry. Actually the “complain� is more towards the existing services and towards pilots for lack of requests for logbook support, and perhaps start a discussion on this so hopefully Weglide and others will listen. I am curious what other pilots using for electronic logbook to log all the important parameters of flights (duration, distance, altitude, takeoff, landing:etc) without having to manually enter the data. It should be in a format that can be downloaded to excel and printed so it can be used as official logbook.

Sounds like you need a ktrax logbook subscription. No flight download needed, it creates logs from OGN data.

Looks like new interesting project for storing IGC flights. I think prehistoric OLC needs some fresh blood competition. WiFi download of flights straight from LX computers again this summer?

The presentation is very good, and I prefer it to the OLC presentation, but I think a bigger
issue is we have too many places to send IGC files. I wish the sites would coordinate, so a
flight posted on one would automatically post on the others, at the selection of the pilot.
Perhaps, this could accomplished with a web site that accepts a flight log, then automatically
uploads it to other sites that pilot has selected. That way, a pilot could make a single
posting the goes to, say, four flight display sites. This might also fix the LXNav posting
issue to OLC.

I am trying out WeGlide this season. Had my first flight yesterday. Posted my flight log to WeGlide last night. About 18 hours later I got an email from OLC Result Notifier about the same flight. How did that happen? I didn't post my flight to OLC, only to WeGlide. Are OLC copying flights from WeGlide to keep themselves looking relevant? Or are WeGlide uploading to OLC too?
