I'm trying to view Flybys for today's (and prior) run(s). I'm not seeing anything load (see image below) and I'm seeing a unicode type character referenced in the orange section where I assume the route name would be. I do have Flybys privacy set to allow Everyone to view as well, in case that information is helpful.

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you!!

They seem to be working for me.  I see the screen you have in your image briefly when I click on the "View Flybys", link, but then it finishes loading to the normal flyby page where I can select activities to include and shows the map.

Thank you @Scout and @anchskier ! I can try another browser later, but here's what I did:

  • I indeed cleared my Chrome browser cache (ALL time) and then tried the "View Flybys" link again. I got the popup, selected to not show it again, and it still gave me the same screenshot.
  • I realized I was behind my work firewall and decided to try again, after disconnecting from my VPN. Same thing, I cleared the Chrome browser cache (ALL time) and then went through the same process as above with the same results.

When I get a chance, I'll try another browser and see if I can get it to work. I expect if no one else is reporting it that indeed it's a configuration issue (or user error 😱) and hope I can get it to work soon. Thanks again!

And...they work great in Safari - even behind my work VPN. I didn't think that would be an issue, but wanted to eliminate any other issues. All good, I can use Safari if I can't get Chrome to work. Thank you both!
