Can Connect to RowPro but not Digital Rowing

[billwright]

I'm trying to connect to the Session Set Up/Online section. I can connect to Oarbits (in RowPro) and open the session list and have previously used this Laptop to connect successfully.

I get the message: "RowPro is unable to connect to the Online Rowing Server. Please try again."

I used the trouble shooter, and when I click the message that says:

Can RowPro connect to http://www.digitalrowing.com?
Yes, RowPro can connect to http://www.digitalrowing.com
No, RowPro cannot connect to http://www.digitalrowing.com

I can't connect and whether I answer Yes or No, nothing happens when I click next.

There is no reaction so I can't proceed any further.

I set up a test session to ensure that I had something available for which I was registered.

Any help appreciated as Saturday 10 July is looming large and want to make sure that I have it right. I've sent an email to RowPro for help but figured someone on here might also know the answer.

Bill the server has been down since 6:00AM yesterday. I am sure the tech wizards are working on the problem.

I left a message on the RowPro "Facebook page" aswell.I am sure it will be back soon mate.

Just a quick question,

Any chance in the future rowpro will come to Mac users ?

There was a bit of a (vitriolic) debate about this on the UK C2 Forum last month or maybe in May. The short answer from Digital Rowing is: "No!" Mainly because of the cost of writing up the software and the time needed to service another platform. DR are a small company (maybe two or three people) who respond to troubleshooting request very quickly. That response time would be affected I guess if they had to sort two platforms.

Cheers bill,thanks for the reply. I do have rowpro on a old windows laptop so I may give the old thing a go and give u a call.

At the moment I am divided between cycling,rowing and boxing. Anything what keeps the heart beating goes if you know what I mean.

Thanks again

Good luck with RowPro. It's great for competions.

As an aside:

Back on the last century (1930's), the Royal Marines did a tour of duty at Buckingham Palace for ceremonial duties. The King at the time (Edward VII I think), put up a plaque after the duty was complete. It said " Taller men I have seen, but smarter men never!". The Guards covered it up with a sentry box. (Nuff said.)

I agree with Bill. It is great for competitions, but it is also great for finding virtual training partners. Even if you had to buy a basic Windows laptop it would be worth it. Online rowing is very fun. says the obvious addict

I'm having exactly the same problems todat as you were Bill.
I've no idea what the problem is so I've sent off an email to digital rowing.

I've been using rowpro for a few years now but not the online racing side of things. Maybe they disabled my online account after several months with no online use?
