Tips to get into MUgsi/Solar
Hey soo there's a lot of people still trying to get on so this is just some stuff I did to sign on

THIS what most ppl do to get into the whole thing
To log into mugsi
Chances are you get to the log in screen but then you get to a page where it says the 45 min thing
well what you can do is sign in through your undergraduate timetable(this way your mos likely to get in)
-with this method you will start your 45 min period

Now that your signed in click on the mugsi link if you get connection is busy or mugsi has reached its limit just click ALt+F4 and then just hit enter
-this will open up the MUGSI window again since the link is still highligted
repeat this until you get to mugsi

IF you finally get to mugsi dont immiediately click on SOLAR the servers are running really slow and your page may not have loaded I would wait around 10-15 seconds till the page loads and than click solar.
- if your mugsi page freezes your out of luck and might have to start over again

Once in solar again wait till page fully loads as if you click it b4 it loads you will have to start over and than battle to get on solar only to find out you battle only to exit solar so that you can reopen it again.

This should get you to the course list but most of it requires timing and a lot of luck.

Oo and don't 4get to watch how long you've been logged on

kangs6, Laydee Death all say thanks to Ace0fSpades for this post.

Yeah, first I tried opening like 30 firefox windows set to auto-load every 10 seconds, before I realized that you can have only one working window in one browser at a time. So I opened a bunch of browsers, remapped the home page buttons, and started cycling through by clicking the little houses . I logged in under ten minutes twice.

Also, if you only use one browser, you can macro alt+f4-enter, so you only have to press one button to reload the page.

One is 64-bit and the other is 32-bit, they seem to work independently of each other for mugsi.

I'm pretty sure it's because almost all upper years have 1 core.
