Default SSA Sailplane Directory

I was "delighted" to learn that my 2004 Stemme S10-VT is still in
development, that there are no pictures available, and that there are
several pictures in the gallery.Â* I don't think I'd put much faith in
the directory to make a purchase decision.

I just got in using Windows 10 and Chrome 61, 64 bit.Â* I was
disappointed, however, to learn that after I logged in to ssa.org, I
had to log in again to view the contents of the directory.Â* But then
this poor bit of programming seems to occur every where, especially on
Amazon.com.

Would a few of you see if you can get to the login page for the

to a landing page with two links to the login page.Â* No need to
log in, just need to see if there are any fails at reaching the
login page.

Really only need to hear from those that fail to reach the page
and the browser used.

Thanks,

Thanks all.

I get intermittent access to the login pages, having tested four
browsers over two networks and five laptops and PCs.Â* I cleared my
caches, changed DNS, rebooted routers and switches.

If the Sailplane Directory page loads fully, that is, shows the
rotating glider images, then the links work.Â* If those rotating
images load, then the login link works.

Thanks for chiming in.

Hi Frank,

I was able to get in w/o issues.
Related question: is this directory maintained at all, i.e. updated
and/or corrected?

Yes.Â* We have two SSA volunteers that can add, correct, and update
content.Â* I was actually trying to login the other day to see if a
unique US glider was in the directory.Â* It was shared on Facebook and
is a variant of another homebuilt design.Â* Not sure if it would just
be a subtext or get it's own listing.

I know the developer/administrator was going to have a look at the
login page issue.Â* I haven't checked from various PC's and browsers
yet to see if I'm still finding problems, though I just logged in
okay from this PC.

I don't see that there's a link to contact the volunteers, Bob Whelan
and Gary Adams.Â* I just discussed that with Denise.Â* Bob has the most
experience as he's been doing it the longest.Â* I'm not sure Gary has
had any opportunity yet.

Images for the gallery, polars, and other input is desired.
