Anyhoooooo, all good, thumbs up to AXWare for fixing it so quickly - looks good in IE & Firefox to me now.
This should count as your work assignment. I know I'm not the only one that uses IE :P
If work outside of event day counted as your work assignment then there would be a whole lot of us that didn't have to work.

No, we don't have that kind of access. But you can email the site owner/programmer with suggestions.

On the contrary, as you can see he is actually very responsive to issues. To try and create a program/system that is everything to everybody in the autocross world is no small task. He has incorporated a number of things that we do very strange into his system which has made things much easier for us. And I have his cell phone number and have called a couple of times during an event when we had a problem and he talked me right through it. The integration of the online system and the timing software makes my job much easier. Is the software perfect? No. But what software is?

If you work for Microsquish, you use IE.
If you work for Steve Jobs, you use Safari.
If you work for a company that does no harm, you use Chrome.
The rest of us use Firefox.


Except Stacey's law office where firefox was taken off all the systems and IE is the only officially allowed browser. Pretty sharp IT guy there..... :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Makes sense to me. I use firefox personally but I sure as heck am not going to support it's upkeep on thousands of computers, but I also don't care if people want to run it.. I just make sure they know that they're responsible for any problems they have in it.

Rick, I understand what you are saying but this is a pet pevee of mine.

There are perfect softwares, they are everywhere around us working flawlessly with enough redundancy. The problem is that anyone with a laptop and free Eeclipse IDE can call themselves a software developer.

I think the real problem is that there is very little interest in creating this kind of software so we need to be at least somewhat happy that anyone is.

Can I have a volunteer print run labels for the Feb 6 practice please. I need 24 for each of four run groups with 12 check boxes on each. I found some old runs charts labeling the groups A,B,C,D. But if you'd rather use colors, let me know and I'll relabel the charts. I'll need them by 7:00AM the day of the practice. Thanks

Please respond on this thread.

If your name is Palero and your not on the list yet, this would be a good way to be sure you get in. :P

Perfect Mako! If you would just change the last line to read: Run/Work Group A B C D

Leave enough room between the letters so we can circle the group. Projection is for 80 entries.

Thank you sir.

I'll be there. But waiting on the weather forecast to decide what to bring. My Stang's wipers, windshield, side glass and top are all disfunctional.

And we run first, Bill!!! So even if it is not raining, it will probably still be wet for the first run group... I have no top, no wipers, no windshield, no windows, no rain tires, no rain-x for my helmet, but I do have enough holes in the floorboards that I may not drown.... I could be bringing the FS Mustang and run it in CP.

Karen is asking why we aren't using the Tech Stickers like we apparently usually use?

Here is the revised/corrected sticker - actual size 1" X 2 5/8th" - Avery Label 8160
