**^%$^*)(^%$$E - OLC Again!

Once again I can't log on. Except some times I can. Then when I try to
post a flight I'm logged off. Try to lodge a complaint and there are
only a few canned complaints allowed, none of which address the problem.

Yesterday, due to GPS dropouts, I posted an incomplete flight. Today I
was able to download the IGC file from another recorder in my glider and
update my flight on Skylines (XCSsoar, they always work when OLC often
fails). But I can not delete yesterday's posting because I can't log
on. And I cannot post the complete log because there's an existing
claim for the day.

Recently they asked me if I would send more money to support them.
Figure the odds... If OLC was a software contractor to me, I'd fire
them for their crappy product.

Dan, every few months the OLC website refuses to allow my login (using
Google Chrome). I have to delete all cookies from "onlinecontest".
This always fixes the problem.

I'll give that a try. Thanks Bob.

And I thought cookies were to make internet life better.

OK that worked and I was able to delete the partial flight and upload
the complete flight. So, from now on, every time my login doesn't work
I'll delete the cookies and try again. I still wouldn't accept that
performance from a contractor...

FWIW, I have had the same or similar problem with Google Chrome. I couldn't log in so I reset my password and logged in. Then, as soon as I tried to look at something, it logged me out. After trying this several times, I logged in with IE and it worked fine. I will try deleting cookies.

Deleting the cookies did not help. IE works fine. Chrome does not.

Some browsers, e.g. Firefox and PaleMoon, have a configuration option to
delete all cookies when the browser exits. If your browser offers this
option try it and see if it makes the OLC problem go away.

Try to login in incognito mode, might help.

Cheers

That sounds like a good idea except that I don't want ALL cookies
deleted. Perhaps it can be scaled down simply to delete cookies on a
particular site upon exit. Since this morning I've learned how to
delete the cookies of a single site having already wiped out a bunch of
stuff that I liked having around for other sites.

I've never seen a selective version, so looks like this wouldn't suit you.

OTOH I like the nuke-em-all approach because it gets rid of tracking
cookies etc that I need like a hole in the head, just as I disallow 3rd
party cookies.
