Compass Odyssey Issues

For those that are still having trouble logging into Odyssey, here is a solution that should solve the problem. I will count this week's Odyssey for the past two weeks (10/1 and 10/8) due to these problems. In other words, this weekend I will enter in the dates of 9/25-10/15 and if you have completed your 1/2 hour at some point during those weeks, it will count for all three weeks. This seems to be the fairest way of doing it since the issues were no fault of your own.

Session timeouts on initial login and during their sessions.
