Default Glideport.aero

I heard from others that it is no longer possible to register to glideport as you don’t get the activation emails. It is otherwise working until it will eventually fail. My understanding is that it was indeed transferred to the SSA.
Wish that instead of investing in the silly new web site the SSA would have invested in the sailplane tracker.

I know I put in the right email address because other addresses
say "no such user", and also I see the email address in my
IGCdroid configuration.


Still no email from Glideport. No password reset link email, and no
validation link email for the new registration I attempted via a
different email address. Is their outgoing email system in-op? Thought
I'd ask, but their "contact us" link says "you have to login first".
Catch 22. I appreciate the free service, but it seems partly defunct at
the moment. Has anybody recently managed to register, or reset their
password, or contact them?

My understanding is that the original author passed glideport.aero and associated software to SSA. They have done nothing with it as far as I can tell. The tracking website is still up and running but there is currently no support for it. Anyone, please correct me if I'm wrong.
