VROC - No Races?

I know that I've been away for the past 3 weeks, since shortly after release of the GPL 1.1 patch, so maybe there's something I'm not aware of. Why aren't there any VROC races being run? Last night and tonight, the racelists have been empty. I installed the 1.1 patch and VROC 2. Does that have something to do with it?

For some reason, the list doesn't show immediately. You have to click on the MOTD icon...then refresh. Eldred __ Put your message in a modem, and throw it in the ***-sea... remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

Assuming you're using GPL Spy Boy 2 and the GSB patch, then it should work - but I have found that occasionally I get no races and have to quit GSB, disconnect and reconnect and then restart it to get them to come up. This doesn't happen very often though - mostly it works fine, although the races don't always show immediately.

Dialing in at 7:30 am CST in the US, I see 5 races on the VROC 2.0 site and 5 listed through SpyBoy 2(beta) as well.

After clicking on MOTD and waiting for it to automatically refresh a number of times, I still don't get any races in the race list. Note, I'm not using SpyBoy. I'm accessing VROC thru Netscape 4.5. ...And I do have it set to show all races. Is there a way to do a manual refresh? Does anyone have any other thoughts? Thanks.

I'm having the same problem. I just though it was because my connection was so bad as to make me ineligable to join any races. No?

In Netscape 4.5 after pressing the MODT-Button, the refresh-Button disapperas and there is a java-error-mesage. Switched to MSIE (sorry ...) and no problems any more. Juergen

I had that happen on one of my systems at work(about a month ago - unrelated to the MOTD). I ended up doing a fresh install of both GPL and Netscape. Eldred __ Put your message in a modem, and throw it in the ***-sea... remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

Did you try to re-install Netscape? I'm running it(NS 4.51) with no problems. Eldred __ Put your message in a modem, and throw it in the ***-sea... remove SPAM-OFF to reply.
