Highly recommend you put code in place to stop the ridiculous default behaviour of WP saying 'the user name is wrong' if you try to guess it, it should just say 'something is wrong', otherwise hacker can know when they guessed user name correct and all they then need to do is try to crack pwd. If you email me I can supply the few lines of code needed.

Just realised you might not be able to email so here's the code snippet to drop into functions.php in your child theme or into, ideally, a plugin file with your dedicated code in. Any questions feel free to email (if you can :-|)

add_filter( 'login_errors', function( $error ) {
   $error = "We're sorry but there was an error with your login credentials.";
   return $error;
} );

Thanks for a great event folks, it was indeed sunny... right up until it turned dark  :D
Love these early evening sessions as enables us back in England to join you and top up our vitamin D levels. Take care, Gez

Can the pilot be kicked off Vatsim? I thought vatsim was meant to be all working together for mutual enjoyment of all? I've seen cases myself just recently of selfish behaviour which have put me off flying on the network to be honest, certainly in big events. The worse was a 'flash mobbing' of an event by one Virtual Airline that made a complete mockery of it.

Try to remember that most pilots really appreciate the efforts controllers go to in order to make these events happen, even if there are some bad apples.

And 'us' pilots, yes it might be frustrating to get stuck waiting for airspace to clear, but surely that's a chance for us to absorb the atmosphere and appreciate just being part of a great community? If you can't handle that then maybe you should go fly somewhere else?

Is El Paso invited to the party or are they considered too "far out"?

Thanks to all the controllers this afternoon. A lovely scenic trip up the West Coast with great ATC was just what I needed to set me up for the week of reality ahead. Hope you all enjoyed it too and have good weeks.

Great event folks - nice to fly into a regional on an interesting approach instead of just coming down the ILS rails. As ever thanks to those providing the excellent ATC.

Which, if you're not careful, might translate into "Serving time"  :-\

And many thanks from those of us unable to attend live, great job chaps.

Note to others who followed along and got something out of it (Boston vartcc won't push this): Boston V ARTCC have a donation page to help offset their costs; something to consider. Or maybe you could thank them by donating to a charity - do good things and good things happen, and goodness knows the world could do with more good things at the moment.

Looking forward to hearing you all in the virtual skies,
Gez

Great event tonight folks, thanks. Last time I was on I95 was, hmm, 40 years ago! Must come back again soon, in the real world next time perhaps? Take care, Gez

Disappointed to see that Tetley aren't listed as one of the sponsors. (other brands of tea are available)
