Is anyone else having trouble seeing the round ratings on the PDGA event pages? :headbang:

There's been a problem using Internet Explorer to see round ratings. Try using either Chrome or Firefox browsers and it should work.

Thanks Chuck I guess I will have to figure out how to switch my browser to one of those darn it.

It will be fixed for IE but you may want to see the ratings before then. You don't need to switch browsers, just download and install Chrome or Firefox free. I sometimes run all three simultaneously on Windows XP with no problem so I can have separate logins.

whom do we contact if we are current and our info is not showing up (and we don't have a browser issue)?

Changing browsers worked for me. Chrome yes, IE not so much.
Chuck - any chance a note could be put up stating that round ratings may not show up in IE?

And we're still using Internet Exploder because... we don't like to see websites as the developers envisioned it? Curious... :)

Like it or not (NOT), Internet Explorer is still the most common Web browser used, although Firefox is certainly gaining ground. On my site yesterday, out of 235,000 requests (so a pretty decent sample size!), 36% were using IE, 31% Firefox, and 19% Safari. On a more general-interest site, the IE proportion would be higher.
So, yes, IE is lame, but it's even lamer that the PDGA site doesn't work with IE...

If you renewed online, I would try here first: 1-888-840-7342
The IE issue should only be temporary since Gentry is on it. I use IE for accessing the PDGA site as a member and use Firefox for writing and editing articles and documents for the PDGA under the PDGAStaff login. I like Chrome for watching video and TV shows online and now it's likely I'll use it more since I recently joined the Droid world. All three seem to work compatibly in Windows.

I have been experiencing various problems with the website over the last few months. Periodically a page opens blank if it opens at all. I commonly get error messages when I go from one page to another forcing me to go back or close and open the page altogether.
Last night and then again today I received warnings of suspicious content or malware being present. Last night it happened when browsing on a Mac and just now on my PC so 2 entirely different browsers and security programs.
Whats up and is anyone else experiencing these things lately or is it just me?

I've gotten those warnings too, and decided "ehh, maybe I don't need to know this info so badly after all" and found something else to look at. Strangely, it doesn't happen every time, just sometimes.

Firefox is currently warning me about the PDGA DISCussion board. Frankly, the PDGA website is a big sack of shit. It's the slowest website I visit regularly and it really stands out. For an organization with a lot of cash reserves and a very internet hungry and savvy membership you'd think they would wake up and fix the damn thing. This is a recurring topic on the PDGA DISCussion board with a lot of talk of how it's being fixed, but to me it just seems to be getting worse and worse.

Just went on the site to see if I could replicate it...the site worked fine at first, but then when I tried to click on a member's info, I got the warning screen, which I've attached here.
I pretty much agree with you, Matt. The "new and improved" PDGA site still leaves a lot to be desired.

I have been getting this warning also. Should we be concerned? I will not visit the site in the meantime.
Thanks

This was posted by the PDGA on Facebook this afternoon:
Over the weekend a previously unknown security vulnerability in the adserver used on PDGA.com was exploited. This lead to Google listing the website as malicious. The vulnerability has been corrected & Google is currently reviewing the website. We expect this process to be completed within the next 24 hours.

That's just great. Now we can't even expect an organization to post important information about it's website on it's own website! Every goddamn thing has to be done on Faceborg now because suddenly email and websites no longer work.
<Faceborg rant off> Sorry, it's just disappointing that all communication must now come through Mark Zuckerwhatshisface.

Agreed, I get that damned news letter in email every so often how come they could not use that avenue to let the masses know. No facebook for me wont touch it!
