OpenFlights banners are now available! Here's what mine looks like:



Contents are updated hourly. Using them couldn't be much easier, just link to http://openflights.org/banner/username.png, or click on the Settings button while logged in to get pregenerated code for HTML and phpBB.

Unfortunately I can't see the banners. Not here, not in your blog post.
When I open your (or my) banner image it is a white 1x1 pixel GIF file.

Works for me in Firefox and IE, on Vista and on Linux. What browser are you using?

Thought it could be an Adblocker - but no change with all add-ons/extensions disabled.

On a remote computer (IE7) it works fine. Could be a problem with my computer (although I've no idea what kind of).

The banner looks really great! Only one little suggestion: The miles flown would be better readable with a "," as 1,000 separator (145,341 instead of 145341).

Thanks for realizing this user request jpatokal

Works for me. Did you log out before trying to view /user/JerseyVics? Please drop me a line if you can figure out a way to reproduce the problem.

Can confirm that. It works without a flaw with Firefox 3, but it does not work with IE (8 - with and without compatibility mode). With IE there are only the last 200 flights displayed, no particular information about the user.

D'oh! Looks like IE and FF handle regexps a little differently. Should be fixed now, so please try again, and CTRL-F5 if it doesn't work the first time around.

Can edit other peoples's flights

There's a bug that seems to allow me to edit the current new fights (what people not logged in see at openflights.org). I'll PM the details to jpatokal.

Edit: Dang; I cannot edit the subject line to correct the grammar.

Yes, this is a known bug, although it wasn't entered into Sourceforge (it is now). However, it's not as bad as it looks: the flights listed are not the actual new flights, but copies of new flights, and the original flights are not affected.

Technical explanation: your session is maintained on the backend server, and when it times out, your user ID gets set back to 1 (the "demo" ID, shown when not logged in, and generated once a day from recently entered flights). So when you click on "List flights", it translates to "list all flights for UID 1", and you get the demo flights to edit...

This can also happen for some other panes (Analyze, Top 10, etc). I'll try to work out a solution, so the server can differentiate between genuine demo users and users who are "supposed to be" logged in but have actually timed out.

It only works if you leave out the "www"

Thumbs up OpenFlights in French, Finnish, Japanese and Russian

Still not sure what's happening here, but SmilingBoy debugged it -- "www.openflights.org/blog" doesn't work, "openflights.org/blog" does. I've fixed the main page link to always point to the second version.

* * *

In happier news, after lots of rooting about in the back-end to prepare for this, OpenFlights now comes in multiple language versions: French, Finnish, Japanese and Russian, to be precise. Just pick your favorite language from the pulldown on the front page, or select your choice from the Settings page. Work has started on German and Polish, and we're looking for volunteers to help out with other languages. No technical skills needed, just some language ability and patience -- check out the blog for details.
