You say there has been an
update but I don't see the changes.
Answer: Your browser (there are many) may be set to look on your
hard drive before searching the web for the web page you have requested.
In that case you will get the older version. Because there are so
many browsers I can't solve all the problems here. Many times, if you right click on the old page and click
"refresh" the problem will be solved.
This dates back to the time when dial up connections were common.
Remember that?...You'd click on a website and have time to get a beer or
take a shower before it loaded? The clever programmers decided
to fix it so the browser would save every website it visited to your hard
drive. When you wanted to go back to that page the browser would
just load the saved page. Well, that can be a pain in the ass today
and cause you to receive out of date information.
For internet explorer users, go to (tools...internet
options...general...browsing history...settings) and check
"automatically" or "every time I visit a page"
For gawds sake, make sure "never" is
never checked! If you are still
having trouble, go back and check "every time I visit a page",
although this makes things a bit slow for you dial-up-folks!
If none of this works, Please contact
me and I'll try to help.

I tried out the search
engine, but I get some results that do not relate to our MSC website.
Why is that?
Answer: Unfortunately this simple search engine searches all of
my Domain names that reside on this server. The good news is that it
does not search the web in general. That avoids huge numbers of
irrelevant hits. GOOGLE is in charge of that department!

I'm having trouble
navigating (getting around) this website.
Answer: Follow these steps (you might want to print this
page)
-click on http://marosportfishingclub.com/
-look through the choices at the top and bottom of the page (the site index), and
click on one
-your choice will show on the same page.
-select something else from the menu at the top or the bottom.
-if you go to the "links" page, which takes you outside of this website to
other websites, you will see your choice opened in a new browser window.
When you are finished, close this browser (click the little "X' in the
upper right hand corner) and go back to the browser that is connected to
our website.

I'm
having trouble viewing the pdf files. It looks like part is
missing. BTW, what the heck does PDF stand for anyway?
Answer: See picture below.
Follow steps 1-4
PDF stands for Portable Document Format. Files in pdf form are
typically read only. They may be viewed and saved by anyone who
has the
adobe reader, regardless of what program created them.

When
I click on an email link on the website it doesn't open my email
program.
Answer: You need to tell your
browser which email program you are using. For Internet Explorer
go to "tools/internet options" & select the programs tab. In the
email drop down box select your favorite email program. Click
apply and OK. See picture below.

When
I download an PDF file, like the clothing order form, it comes up in a
screwy size, like real small, or overflowing the screen.
Answer: Adobe 7.0 reader
remembers the screen size setting when you close it. If you were set to 50%
the last time you viewed a pdf, then the next one will open at the same
size. The screen size is easy to change. Use the drop down box to
resize the screen. See picture of tool bar below. Note: prints
will always be full sized, regardless of the screen size setting.

When
I click on a link in the website nothing happens (or at least I
don't get what I expect)
Most websites (including this one) use "pop-ups". What are they?
It's simple. Unless told otherwise, your browser moves from page
to page as you click links. If you want to go back, click your
"back" button in the upper left hand corner. Just like flipping
pages in a book! A "pop-up", however, opens a new browser (a copy
of your browser program, independent of the previous one)...like a new
book. The tip off is that the "back" button is usually
grayed out and won't work...This is a new program, looking at it's first
website...there is nothing to go back to! These are used
everywhere on the web. Most folks don't have a problem...but if you
have an aggressive pop-up blocker, different things will happen. Worst
case is that nothing will happen when you click a link for a pop-up.
Best case is you will get a message like "this website is calling for a
pop-up...click here to allow it". Pop-up blockers, while good
in theory, may cause your browser to be non-functional at times, and you to
be denied useful information...think about that! There is no free
lunch. Here's an illustrative example.
Suppose you go to your bank site and there's a question like
"Please enter the account numbers of everything you own here________"
After that is a "click here for more info"
link. The Pop-up-friendly folks will click on the message, and then
"don't ever do this" pops-up. Whoa!
The web paranoid folks, the pop-up unfriendly, they get nothing when they
click on the link and merrily go ahead and enter their data and have their
identity stolen...bummer ....a silly example? perhaps,
but think about it. Ask yourself, why are you looking at this page
now?
