Browser Window and Monitor Size
This website is optimised for a browser window at least 800 x 600 pixels. If your monitor displays a smaller
area, or the browser window is not maximised (full screen) you may need to scroll the display both horizontally
and vertically to read all the content. If you have this problem, first try maximising the browser window to full
screen display. Even with the smallest 640 x 480 monitor display, you should be able to get the whole of this
pale green panel on your screen.
To establish the size of your screen display, right click on any blank part
of your desktop display, select [Properties] from the bottom of the drop-down menu, then the [Settings]
tab at the top of the Display Properties window. The section labelled [Screen area] will show your current
display resolution, which you may adjust if necessary. Accept the change when prompted (if you want to). If the
resultant display is illegible, it will revert to the original setting in about 15 seconds provided you press no keys.
Browser Compatibility
The content of this site is expected to display correctly using Internet Explorer v.5 (or later) with normal settings.
Performance with other browsers cannot at present be guaranteed. If you encounter a display problem,
please notify us, describing the problem and including details of the type and version of the browser
you are using. We will do our best to resolve the problem. This website has NOT been tested for
compatibility wih Apple Macintosh computers.
Out of Date Information
When you access a website, the pages you view are stored on your PC - in a cache. Next time you view the
same website, the browser will use information stored in the cache to speed up the display of pages. If it does
this and you believe there should be more up-to-date information available, press the F5 key at the top of your
keyboard. This will refresh the page, forcing it to be downloaded again with current data.
Slow Downloads
On our Newsletter Pages we offer two methods of displaying the information. If you have a fast
(broadband) internet connection, the [Printed Page] image will provide just that, with a modest download
delay. If you have a standard 56k modem connection, however, you may prefer to use the HTML version
of the same information which will download very much faster. The text is the same or similar, but the
layout is different. The HTML version has a bonus - you may also view full-size versions of the photos, by
clicking on the small thumbnail pictures within the text. Please be aware, however, that
these large pictures may take a few seconds to download unless you have a high speed connection.
Avoiding and Preventing Spam (Unsolicited e-mail)
The problem of unsolicited e-mail (spam) is one from which all internet users suffer, to a greater or lesser extent.
We ask you to respect our request not to circulate our e-mail address to friends or acquaintances as a by-product
of forwarding interesting, amusing or joke messages to them. Ultimately, this practice of circulating e-mail, together
with a large number of embedded or hidden e-mail addresses increases the generation of
spam, and makes more addresses available for the spammers to use. Protect your own and everyone else's
interests by resisting the temptation to join in this damaging activity.
