Default UK Pilots and OLC

Does anyone know the reason why almost no postings are made on the OLC
by British pilots ?
I was watching Wimbledon on TV yesterday and noticed the great looking
skies over England so went to the OLC site to see what good flights
may have been made there - but nothing posted . I lived there myself
at one time and can vouch that occasionally some very good x/c
distances are possible !

ZA.

In the case of my own sites, the two best pilots do post (usually) to
the OLC and what is possible is there for all to see. However, within
the UK I guess people probably do use the BGA ladder - for one thing
IMHO it's rather eaiser to find specifc flights on it. I tried
browsing the OLC last night and couldn't work out how to see anything
beyond flights on a given day - I wanted to see flights from a given
launch point.

Click on the underlined takeoff location) (launch point) name on any
flight, you get all flights for that point. Same with pilot names...
well, not the same, you get all flights for the pilot. Click on the
"Scoring" menu item to see other choices by club, etc.
