Hi
I am using marinetraffic.com but i have to say its the worst site ever to use
it's slow it freezes it gose onto pages i don't request ect ect! Either they should fix
the problems or get rid of it. I just refuse to use it it's so bad!! it freaks me out and
ther is no one to contact to express my anger at this.

Could be your web browser or internet connection?

Hi Patrick,
Sorry can't agree with you. I have an occasional bleep but on the whole i find it an excellent site. I have also uploaded photos and have been in the past uploading ais data from my own receiver without problems.
Cheers

Hi Patrick,
We have no problems with www.marinetraffic.com, the site works perfect only a delay of 15 minutes.
We use the browsers: IE, Mozilla, Google Chrome & Opera on our pc, works fine with all of these.
For 'refresh now' you can also use F5, works better than the refresh now link.

Hi
It just seems very tempermental. It is a great site to use when it works but when it dos'nt
work it can be a nusiance but i am privalged to use such a site! Do you know if you right
click on a certain vessel you can actually plan the trip ahead planning the route and gives
you the exact time of arrival to its destination at the speed recorded. Its a great
advantage.

Give our new site http://www.shipfinder.co a go. You can send your AIS feed to it also, just like Marine Traffic!
We are currently working on a version 2 as we speak!

Hi Patrick,
Probibly sometimes there is something wrong with your patience? The site is perfect and works in that way! Sometimes a browser fails, or sometimes your computer. Mostly it is the person behind the screen! to hasty, no patience, pulling wrong buttons etc!
I use this site for years; placed many pictures and sometimes, they are working on it. Yes an update every now and than, but telling us when the site is out of order. Otherwise the failure is NOT Marine Traffic. Be sure of that!
Don't get sky high as a rocket the first second. count to ten. It maybe can help you?
-
Somthing wrong with your attidude! Change your tone with me! ALRIGHT!
-
See what I mean?

In fairness to Patrick, the site does appear to be down at the moment. It won't load at all, I just get a 'connection timed out' message. Maybe they're having a server glitch.
-
I really can't agree with Henk de Winde when he says ""The site is perfect and works in that way"". It is reasonable as a free site but at times definately has a mind of its own which in itself is annoying especially when I'm trying to identify ships in the English Channel. It seems to jump about all on its own at times methinks it shouldn't really do that. What do others think ?? jw..
-
At the moment I tried immediatly of course and went in without any problem!
And maybe I should not say perfect, because who is perfect, but okay, I will recall it: a very good site! Okay for everybody?
-
It's a very good site when it's up which is most of the time. As it's a free site, nobody can complain when it goes down occasionally although, obviously, if you had to pay for it then that's another matter entirely. ;)
-
Agree with you Faith!
-
My two cents... I haven't experienced the same problem but For awhile I was having no AIS tracking on weekends but I don't think that is a marinetraffic issue. Also I was having problems with delays. I would chase after a ship but only to find it passed two hours ago. I later learned this was a PC issue as the speed of my computer can not handle all the Live feeds into this one site. But honestly there is no better site than marinetraffic right now. I can hug the people who created it as it has saved me countless hours walking aimless along thnt.e waterfro

Hi
I never disputed it was a bad site i think it's a great site and is very informative and
very intresting. Just when it dos'nt work it really dosn't work. I do enjoy it also. But
just the last while it's got really bad!
Patrick

Sorry Patrick, you told us it was the most worthless site in the world. Of course we all laughed about your comment and okay, every now and then there is no site. So what? Did you ever send them one single Penny?
Count to ten Patrick and don't try to copy a rocket. You will be the looser. That's for sure! Now you'r reacting normally! keep it that way!
Best regards, Henk

And there is always ONE sad loser!!
Your boring..................

So sad you don't pick up a lesson! Youngsters! Did you ever heard about the differance between yes and no? Or good and bad? or think and stupid? Don't get the impression you know.

Hi Patrick
Many people have problems with some sites and I agree with others it 'may' be your browser, we have used marinetraffic.com for some time and like other with no problems, BUT, we also use Windows Internet Explorer do you.?

Henk and Lysfoss,
May I ask that you continue your somewhat childish argument via the sites personal messaging system and not on the forums.

Hi
It's that old man bothereing me!!!

Hi Cody
Couldn't agree more. Sites go down sometimes, Southampton VTS is a case in point that affects me, I we put up with it and carry on. Patrick, I suggest you pick your mouse up of the floor and get back in your pram and stop making ageist comments, because we can all do that!!!
