Some tips on viewing Rippingale Village website at its best.
Although various web browsers have been taken into consideration when designing this website it is best viewed using Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 (or above) as many other browsers do not properly recognise some of the latest formatting. The latest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer can be downloaded free of charge from the Microsoft website. If you are however using 'Mozilla Firefox' we would recommend a 'Proportional Font Size' of 17 or 18 pixels.
Your screen resolution should be set to high otherwise some pages may appear squashed. Although the site has been checked at 800 x 600 it was designed and we recommend viewing at 1024 x 768 or higher otherwise some text may get lost behind images. The use of F11 to toggle to 'Full Screen' (and back) can also enhance your viewing pleasure of the site.
The fonts (text) in most pages are proportional, ie can be resized under 'Text Size' in your browser (or by using Ctrl and the wheel on your mouse) to suit your requirements / eyesight. The pages have, however been designed with the text size at 'medium'.
Many of the documents, eg the Village Newsletter, are in 'Portable Document Format', ie pdf files. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to download and read them. Click here to download the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader free of charge from Adobe Systems Incorporated.
Please note that the Rippingale Village Website Committee are not responsible for any programs downloaded and installed on your PC. Please ensure that your PC is compatible with the programs before downloading and installing, and seek professional help if you have any doubts or problems.
Images do not load properly? - If you have a slow (dial-up) connection you may find that sometimes, on pages that have multiple images, eg 'Country Eye', the images only partially load. This is a common problem to all websites, and the easy way to rectify it is to either 'Refresh' the page, or move to another page then back again using your 'Back' and 'Forward' keys.
No top Menu? - You must have Java Script enabled to see the top menu bar (on every page except the photos). This is normally set under `Internet Properties' and depending on your browser may be called different things, eg 'Allow active content'- if you are not sure seek professional help.
Also if you have been linked from some sites or Search Engines which open the links within their own window, eg 'Ask Jeeves', the top menu may not show - if so open www.RippingaleVillage.co.uk in it's own window by clicking on this here.
Hidden Information - Information about most of the photographs on the website can be revealed by hovering your mouse (curser) over the image. This is called "Mouse-over" and can sometimes also link you to other parts of the site in the same way that normal links do.
