OLC?

The calendar, country problem seems to be Internet Explorer specific to
me. Using IE, I notice I have calendar problems if I enter OLC via the
SSA site. More specifically, if I change to the day prior, I get
worldwide scoring. If I then filter for USA flights, I get the current
date, worldwide scoring.

If I use this link
http://www3.onlinecontest.org/olc-2..../olcscore.html the
calendar works properly.

It kind of looks like PHP sessionID's (or possibly cookies) are getting
crossed in the framed SSA OLC page and browser caching in Internet
Explorer. Don't have time to debug further at the moment and there are
other exceptions noted.

Firefox appears to handle it okay in the framed SSA page as I can't
duplicate the problem while using Firefox (on a Linux box).

Anyone having problems in Firefox on a Windoze box?

At least here in good old Europe the calender works.

Could it be that the problem arises from the fact that the calender
always assumes that you are in Europe, while you are 9 hours behind.
Is the date correct when you check in the morning and not in the evening?

Some of the problems will not be visible to a user or tester in Europe.

Yes, I'm sure that may be part of it. Perhaps a user profile set with
cookies and coupled to the login could address some of these issues?
Or some command line variables to help customize the view?

The OLC link in the USA, for example goes through the SSA website. If
they could add some options there so that a click on "scoring" would
automatically select United States, and a generic timezone for the US,
that may help.

One feature I find missing is the aboulity to display the one month
list of flights - especially nice if there a not yet many flights for
"today". Actually, an option to display the last week's worth of
flights would be very nice, as that would provide a reasonable snapshot
of recent activity.

I've only been using FF on Winderz and generally it's OK, though
sometimes the calendar popup does get a bit cranky.

Just now was looking at USA on the 4th. Clicked the calendar and
selected the 5th and it switched to displaying the workd. Perhaps this
is because there are no records yet for today in the US...

So again, if there was an option to display the previous X days, and I
would probably choose 7, then there should always be some flights made
in the last week. Currently, one has to manually click through the
days on the calendar making it difficult to just browse recent history.

Right now, at 2330 Z on 11-5, the calendar does not work. The date shows
11-6. And you cannot change it. IE and Firefox. I have seen this since
OLC 2. The calendar starts working again only after the first flight for
11-6 is entered. Probably doesn't matter much in Europe, but this is
prime time in the US.

Just tried something different in IE6 on Windows and FireFox on Linux
via the SSA link.

After selecting ScoringDaily Score, I notice that when I start at the
default 11/6/06 calendar and left-click on any prior November dates,
I get a visual cue of the mouse click, but no audio cue. However, if I
change to October and left-click a date, I get both cues and the date
data resolves. Then if I move back to the November calendar, I get
both cues and the date data resolves.

There seems to be an issue perhaps on the mouseover and maybe more
likely the onclick handling with the inital load of the _default_
javascript calendar, rather than cookies or sessionID's as this is
repeatable in different browsers consistently. The frame code links to
multiple calendar scripts for setup and localization.

Looks like someone tried this week, but now back to where it was a week
ago for the past couple of days, in alpha.
