Is there a trick for making the life tracker on the SSA website work? I tried to follow the Perry contest but was only able to get it to work on my iPhone but not on my laptop. Only got a blank screen there. I am using Chrome as a browser and Windoze 7 Professional.

I cannot get glideportaero to load this morning 8/30/2020. Both Link from SSA Sailplane Tracker or directly to the glideportaero url. No response, too long to load, error messages. Any ideas?

If your PC has the ping and traceroute commands installed, try them to
see if/where there's a network problem. IIRC they are standard issue for
Windows and definitely for Linux. Dunno about Apple kit. They are run
from the command line. In case you haven't used them:

Both are run from the command line:

ping glideport.aero

shows success or failure at contacting the URP you give it.

traceroute glideport.aero

shows every step along the way from you to the URL on success and
otherwise shows where the fault lies and what the fault is.

You don't need these programs all the time, but they are very useful in
working out whether a connection is broken and if so, where.

I tried traceroute, but that command is not supported under Win10. Ping is, and I got 4 reasonable responses. The IP address for glideport.aero is http://107.170.23.252/. When I enter that in the search bar I get connected to glideport.aero.

It's working for me. There was a big problem that's being resolved now,
possibly related:

Use this website to find out: https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/
Of course, that's if *that* website is up :-)
