Wow it appears that the popularity of GSB caused a bit of a circuit
overlord at VROC headquarters! This popularity is in danger of causing
the VROC server to be shut down anytime the use level gets too high. A
combination of things have caused this, and the VROC folks and I will
be working to alleviate this problem as quickly as possible.
It is very important that you do the following so that we may all
continue to use GSB:
* Open the Options dialog (Spy->Options... menu item)
* Click on the "Misc" tab.
* Clear the check mark next to "Auto refresh VROC" (i.e. turn off auto
refresh).
* Click OK to save the changes.
What this will do is make GSB work more like the Netscape version of
VROC, requiring you to manually click the Refresh button to update the
race information pane.
I apologize for this, and hopefully we will work out a solution in the
very near future that will reenable the auto refresh feature.
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS OR THE VROC SERVER
WILL BE SHUT DOWN UNDER HEAVY LOAD PERIODS.
YOUR COOPERATION WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
THANKS!
