My home machines broke down, and my mail is still broken. So I haven't been able to give support to users having problems lately. These problems are usually one of the following:

* I can't activate my account:
Please tell me so using the Feedback form, and I will activate your account within a day or two.

* I can't see the tests:
You probably have a problem with your Shockwave setup. Please go here to check...

... and reinstall Shockwave if you have to.

Hope this helps

I've spent some time getting into Ajax technology, and now the Top10 user list is automatically updated every 15th second. This may change if I find out that the load on the server is too heavy, but twice a minute is still cool, because you won't have to hit F5 anymore to see how you're doing

I'm still a newbie when it comes to Ajax and javascript, and I hope things won't blow up on you. Please let me know if there are any problems out there...

Stay tuned!

You have probably noticed the link buttons that have appeared under the tests in the main page. These buttons will take you to sites where you can give Earplane a vote as a cool site, and if we receive lots of votes our link will be visible for those who go to digg.com to look for cool sites.

The Kudos button goes to a Norwegian site that is similar to Digg, which concentrates on Norwegian sites. If there are similar sites in other languages please drop me a note so I can include a link.

Please drop by the sites to give Earplane a vote, it would be nice to see an activity boost in the stats

Flights can now be set to any duration, you choose Custom and a new calendar control will pop up. This means that teachers can define flights to last until next week, or you can define a "This Month" session.

Custom flights will not compete with other flight in the same way as the fixed duration flights.

Stay tuned!

Flights can now be set to "Stealth Mode". This means that only the Pilot can see what's going on pointwise, which may be the preferred mode in classroom test situations, where a student don't want everybody to see how he/she is doing.
