Good Evening
After a normal day of life, in the evening, in my lazy boy, I really like to look on the OLC and see what's up.
I really like the comment section like today my friend BC's comments flying out of Boulder Colorado describing his awesome flight.
Too Often now days the Comment section just says " Uploaded with LX Nav Connect"
This sucks, Bad, for all of us stuck on the ground like chipmunks running around trying to make a living.
TG has great comments BUT sometimes " Uploaded with LX Nav Connect.
Jim Lee same thing.
Alot of the hotshots I look up to.
At Least CX Bob Faris doesn't seem to have the plague and. still comments, even if's it like " Not so hot, windy" Something. Anything is good
Come on you skygods please comment more!

"Uploaded via LXNAV Connect" is boring and uninformative. I usually click on the ones with
more words, and always on the ones with pictures.

It is slightly annoying though in that when browsing OLC/WeGlide it looks like a flight has a comment, and I often click open a flight to see what the pilot had to say only to discover the comment is just "Uploaded with LXNAV Connect".
When I look at flights on OLC, there is a "comment" icon that is either a light gray or black. The light gray seems to indicate the automatic "Uploaded with LXNAV Connect" comment, while the black icon indicates an actual comment from the pilot. Notethat a flight uploaded with LXNAV Connect can be subsequently edited by the pilot to include a more detailed comment, turning the icon to black. I treat the gray icon the same as no icon, as there is no useful information. However, I instead look at the

from adding comments to flight someting after an automatic (and very
convenient) upload via LX Nav Connect. Using the automatic upload
ensures that you don't miss the upload deadline should you get
distracted after the flight.

see what the pilot had to say only to discover the comment is just
"Uploaded with LXNAV Connect".
The OLC currently treats "Uploaded with LXNAV Connect" as a comment,
even though it isn't a comment by the pilot and has no value to people looking at flights. I suggest they ignore it, and don't give that flight
a "comment" flag.

Somewhere between 13 and 15 words, the comment icon changes from gray to black, so it is
possible to have short pilot comment with a grey icon, but you don't miss many by sticking
with black icons.
Maybe the OLC could send the pilot a text message when the pilot doesn't add one,
encouraging him to add a comment to the flight by replying to the text.

As Mark said. If it’s gray there is likely no comment other than the auto upload comment.Note that a flight uploaded with LXNAV Connect can be subsequently edited by the pilot to include a more detailed comment, turning the icon to black.

I always edit my flight later in the evening from the comfort of my iPad/computer, so if you want to see my comment, come back later.
My comments tend to be a bit lengthy, as I use OLC also as my personal log book.
While we on the subject, I also always adjust my release point since OLC doesn’t recognize release correctly anymore 90% of the time. This impact distance, points and speed.
I also automatically upload to weglide but rarely check my entries or add comments.

The "Uploaded By LX Nav Connect" is an advert for LXNAV, plain and simple. IMO, it isn't necessary. Folks who want that service have already considered it and weigh the cost of upgrading to get it. LOL, Maybe Uros will remove the notification
