Where has the predicted pass gone?
In Safari I opened the developer tools and the Javascript console. It showed some errors:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)

Where has the predicted pass gone?
I have an iPad 2 with iOS 9.3.5 and Safari. The predicted passes do not appear.
Firefox on my MacBook Pro doesn't show the map.
Google Chrome on my MacBook Pro shows the map but not the predicted passes. -
Where has the predicted pass gone?
I started visiting https://www.issfanclub.com a few weeks ago using Safari 11.2 on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.11.6. I used the Predicted Pass feature a lot.
The Predicted Pass feature was very cool, so I created an account here and logged in from a different Mac (OS X 10.12.6 and Safati 11.2). The Predicted Pass did not show up on that Mac, so I deleted cookies there. That did not help.
On my MacBook I deleted cookies, and now the Predicted Pass no longer shows up. I explored the whole web site; I can't find a magic setting labeled "Enable Predicted Pass". There has been no change in software. It behaves the same way whether I'm logged in or not.

Hi Colin
I have NOT heard any voices on today's SSTV transmissions. There is some tweets about it on John's twitter page from yesterday:

Didn't notice the voices on the pictures I downloaded David, however I did not have the volume very high. It is definitely some form of auto voice though as they are exactly 30 seconds apart and sound very similar.
I will crank the volume up if there is another pass.

Hi Colin
That's a shame about your poor quality guess it might be down to location.
The voices were similar to what was heard when testing their cubesats inside the ISS some time ago but shorter.Patrick WD9EWK has just posted this in reply on this site:
Some tweets earlier mentioned that the voices were identifying (in Russian) where the ISS was passing over. One example over North America today had the voice announce that the ISS was over the Canadian province of Ontario. (Glenn AA5PK mentioned that, and he understands that language).

Hi
Ah right thanks for that information as the voice sounded similar to when testing their cubesats inside the ISS a while ago.

Was someone nearby trying to call on the downlink?
I had a black band across one of my, poor quality, downloads this time. It was caused by what sounded like someone trying to tune up on the frequency.

Hi Patrick
Voices were heard on both the last 2 passes over the UK. Sounded like pre-recorded messages possibly Russian? as they all sounded similar.

Hi!
Yes, I heard voices during the two pictures I copied during the 2108 UTC pass this afternoon. Using a TH-D74 and Elk log periodic from my yard to record the transmissions, then decoding them with RX-SSTV on a Win7 laptop. One picture cleaner than the other. I have tweeted them, and the files from the current SSTV experiment are going in the "201712-ISS_SSTV" folder at http://dropbox.wd9ewk.net/
