Thank You.
No information about my problem
...
If you find that you have a difficulty reading
the pages on the site and have scanned this help
section without finding the solution to your problem
click the email button at the top of the page
and tell us about it. We will help in any way
possible. Note too that pages might appear correct
on our computers but display incorrectly on others
... obviously we need to know about this or we
cant fix the problem. Use the following email
link and mark the subject line PAGE ERROR. It
can then be dealt with quickly. admin@skyeyachts.co.uk
No Space to see frames ...
The site was designed to be viewed at 800 x 600
or better still 1024 x 768 screen resolution.
This means that if your screen is set to 640 x
480 most of the pages will be restricted to band
60 percent of the true page width.
To overcome this problem you can (if you use Internet
Explorer) hold down the SHIFT key when you select
a link and this will open the page in a NEW WINDOW
and not within the frames... If you use the Netscape
browser then simply RIGHT CLICK the links and
choose the VIEW IN A NEW WINDOW option.
The other alternative is to set your screen resolution
to 1024 x 768by right clicking the desktop, selecting
the PROPERTIES tab, choose SETTINGS and select
the screen resolution of your choice.
In Internet Explorer, you can also surf the net
in FULL PAGE MODE and to do this press the F11
key at the top of your keyboard. To go back to
normal mode simply press F11 again.
Part of the top of the page is 'cut off'
Again this is a screen resolution / frames problem.
To overcome this problem you can highlight some
of the text with your mouse ,then DRAG THE SELECTION
DOWN towards the bottom of the screen. This causes
the page scroll down too, revealing the part that
was missing. This trick works with most sites.
You could also try HOME and END on the keyboard
but remember to click somewhere inside the page
you want to scroll up or down.
On modern browsers You can use
the ARROW or cursor keys to move up and down pages
too.
The text is Tiny or too big
Internet explorer allows the user to set the default
text size. It should generally be set to MEDIUM.
You can check by going to VIEW and selecting TEXT
SIZE.
Old version of site …
We regularly update the site and if you have recently
visited the site you may be seeing an OLDER version
of the site. This is because all browser software
saves pages in a part of the computer called the
CACHE and this keeps downloading page time to
a minimum (ie you dont need to download the same
page or image twice - its simply fetched from
the cache). It also means you can look at the
pages off-line.
To overcome this problem simply press REFRESH
or RELOAD. If that doesnt work on Internet Explorer
(IE) you can hold down the CTRL key on the keyboard
while clicking REFRESH and this forces the browser
to reload a new copy of the page. Finally you
can EMPTY the cache. To do this you should go
to the TOOLS menu in your browser (IE only) and
select INTERNET OPTIONS. Choose DELETE FILES and
this should fix most problems. If all the aforementioned
fails - it could be that the page contains errors
and a good page is being substituted from you
computer's cache. If this is the case you should
notify us by email and we will then repair the
page.
Squashed pictures all over the
screen or blank screen
Some surfers may notice that the background of
the page is tiled with the same picture over and
over again or that a SQUASHED version of an image
is where its not supposed to be. You may also
find 'bits missing'. It may even be that the page
FAILS to load altogether.
To overcome this problem click REFRESH or RELOAD.
A link wont work ...
No one is perfect! Isle of Skye Yachts is continually
updating the web site and we may have missed a
link. Also because the site is continually expanding
it may be that the links have not yet been added
and that the page is still under construction
but contains enough useful information that we
publish without delay. After all, the web allows
us to instantly display the latest information
instantly, all around the world...
To overcome this problem email us with details
of the broken link and we will attempt to correct
the problem immediately. email
us- click here.
Some buttons dont work ...
This site uses JAVA script extensively for POP
UP windows and some of the other buttons. If your
browser has JAVASCRIPT turned off, the buttons
simply wont work. The site has however been tested
with all types of browser and WILL work if your
local settings are correct.
To overcome this problem Turn ON Javascript or
upgrade to a browser (Explorer and Navigator are
both free) that can handle all the modern trickery
of Javascript.
Flash
The ENTER button is programmed in flash. If you
dont have FLASH installed you can get the plug-in
from the site by clicking the ACCEPT button when
the 'Would you like to install Flash 6 plug-in'
dialogue box appears. Most users these days have
flash installed. If you get 'fed up' waiting for
the plug-in to update you can click the STOP button
on your browser and you will most likely see the
rest of the page anyway.
GENERAL INFO ...
Please note that the latest versions of : Internet
Explorer & Netscape Navigator Web Browsers
are all FREE now but older operating systems (Windows
3.1, 3.11 etc) may have trouble dealing with the
newer software... Most surfers generally recommend
using version 5 or onwards for IE and Navigator.
