Default What Is Wrong With OLC?

I've been trying for over a year to get the OLC people to fix my login.
I've filled out their help forms too many times to count and they don't
reply and they don't fix the problem. As it stands now, I can not
upload my flights to OLC. When I log in I get a message that states (in
German) that my email address is not valid. But it is valid. And I am
logged on successfully. Then, when I select to upload a flight, I get
the same message stating that my email address is invalid.

Is there anyone listening at OLC? Is there anyone in Europe who can
contact them on my behalf? My email address is
. It is a valid address.

Since I can no longer upload flights, I won't be providing financial
support any more unless it's fixed. Too bad, since I'm currently number
1 at Moriarty and number 14 in the USA.

Had a nice flight today in my Caproni and took one of our instructors along. I was able to claim the flight but not my pax whom I claimed as co-pilot last year. The same spelling of his name and d.o.b. now returns a 'co-pilot invalid' error message!
Strange ....

Have you done your annual update of your Registration? Go to the list of competitors. Find your name. Go to the right hand side of the form; just past the link to your flights, icon for "contest registration update". Must be done annually. All your info can be correct, but if you don't submit it annually, you aren't valid. Just checking that it is all still correct is not sufficient.

I have never updated my membership in OLC.

Dan - it seems they just don't like you.

What's really wrong with OLC is that they do not separate pure glider performance from motorglider flights, and that they use DAeC handicaps that are not designed to handicap different classes, in addition of doing crappy job of handicapping anything at all.

What is wrong with OLC - You don't have to declare a task first! Couldn't
resist.

I was unaware of that! So I followed your instructions and, voila:


An Error has occurred!


A Competitor with this name and birthday already exists.Forgot your
password? http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/gliding/wrongLogin.html



Several times I've tried to update my email address by following
different links on their website. The links have always taken me to the
so called update page and always with similar results. There's always
some sort of error. When I try the "forgot password" link, I'm told
that I already exist. Why not just send me a link via my already given
email address?

I could delete my account and create a new one but then I'd lose all my
history.

They should also separate flights with ground crew and those without.
