Over the past few days there has been some improvements to the HTML code which allows for better rendering in older Internet Explorer browsers. So now if, for whatever reason, you're still using IE6 or IE7, you can now log in and use the site. IE6 and IE7 are still not officially supported browsers, so much of the site will still be messed up, but at least you can now sign in and have basic functionality. Browsers that are recommended are Firefox 3.5+, Google Chrome, Opera 9+, and Safari 4.

Now when you open the new flight popup, you'll be greeted with a entry field you've never seen before. Below the remarks box, there is a space to enter a fuel burn value. For details on which units are supported, refer to the help page.

You can now elect to receive email backups of your logbook on a daily bases. At midnight each day, the site will send an email to any user who elects to have the daily backups AND has edited any part of their logbook data (flights, planes, records, locations or events) for that day.

With the recent "relaunch" of the new version of the software that runs FlightLoggin', there seems to be some confusion surrounding some things.

Old Flightlogg.in' - The site that used to be located at flightlogg.in as of a few days ago. This site was written in PHP and was either blue and brown, or red and pink, depending on the colors you selected. If you had an account on this site, you logged in with an email address and a password. That site is still operational, at the domain old.flightlog.in. If you want to continue using FlightLogg.in' as you always have, then feel free to continue doing so at old.flightlogg.in. If you wish to 'upgrade' to the new version of the site, then you need to create a new account here using OpenID. Then import your flights over once your new account is made.

FlightLogg.in' Beta - This site was green, and was found at the domain beta.flightlogg.in from August to about three days ago. If you had an account on that site, you logged in not with a password/email, but by OpenID. All accounts on the beta have a username. By default your username is something like "openiduser118", unless you explicitly changed it in the preferences page (in some cases a custom, non "openiduserXXX" username is created for you if you used one of the 'better' OpenID providers such as AOL or Yahoo). The beta is basically the site you're looking at right now, just it's no longer called "beta" anymore.

New FlightLogg.in' - What you're looking at right now. The only way to log into this site is with an OpenID. If you had an account on the Beta, your account is still there. BUT if you happened to use Google's OpenID service (which is pretty much everybody), your account is inaccessible because of the way Google's OpenID process works. Since the domain name changed from beta.flightlogg.in to just flightlogg.in, Google is returning a different OpenID 'result' which the site can't match with your beta account. Instead it creates a new, empty account. If that is the case, you need to email info at flightlogg.in with your beta username (such as "openiduser23") and your new username ("openiduser187") and I'll swap the OpenID's, then you'll be on your merry way.

Basically if you never participated in the beta, then you need to create a new account and then copy your flights over.

It appears that the way Google's OpenID authentication works, it returns a different value depending on the site's URL. So if you signed up to beta.flightlogg.in with your Google account, then tried to login after the beta replaced the old PHP site, flightlogg.in will create another account, rather than log you into the account you had for the beta. This is only a problem with people who used Google's OpenID (which currently is about 75% of all users).

If you are experiencing this problem, either reply to this thread, or email your old username, and the new username to info-at-flightlogg.in.

Note: This only applies to people who participated in the beta. If you're coming straight from the "blue" PHP site, all you need to do is create a new account, and then import the flights over by following the directions in the Import section.

After months of development, it's finally here. FlightLogg.in 2.0! Just about everything has been improved. The old site will remain operational, at least for the next few months.

If you're coming from the old version of the site, you need to sign up for a new account here using OpenID. After your new account is made, you can then import your flights over to the new site using the Import section.

You are viewing this site on it's new host. The site should be much faster now.

If you want semi-daily status updates of the development of the beta, go to the
Twitter page.

While development is not quite done, the site is now stable enough for people to use. Some features are not quite finished, but otherwise most things work.

So go ahead and tell all your friends to come and try out all the new features.

Congratulations, you found the beta. This whole site is still a work in progress. It is not intended to be used for anything other than messing around in. The database is cleared regularly. The code is also updated regularly, so most bugs get fixed rather quickly.
