TO VIEW VIDEOS

Some videos open normally but others have a different way to open them.
They may say Invalid File, or Media File but if you click on them a new page will open.
At the top left hand corner there is a white arrow on a blue back ground, click on it and it will download.
Depending on the computer you are using it might open or give you the choice to select a viewer.
Sometimes it will download it as an MPG4 file so you will have to rename it as an MP4 file to view it.


MEDIA GALLERY, BOAT HARBOUR, and HOW TO ARTICLES all operate in the same way.


On the left hand side on the main page you will see the following:-

MAIN MENUE
THIS WEBSITE
HOBBY SUPPLIES

Under each title there is a list of different titles,
Clicking on these will take you directly to the pages.

Also there is a section called “CURRENT WEBSITE SUPPORT”

This site is completely FREE however you can support this site by subscribing or donating just by clicking on the “SUBSCRIBE” or “DONATE” tabs.

By subscribing or donating to the site although gratefully appreciated it doe's no effect the points or ranks.
However you do get a Digital Gold or Silver medal.

I must mention the POINT/RANK system is just for a bit of fun.

But if you like or comment to a post then points are awarded.

If you post or members like your work then points are awarded to you.

The more points you receive the higher up the ranks you will get.

So the more you participate on the site the more points you get.

You can see the value of the points on your profile page.



THIS IS ONLY INTENDED TO GET YOU STARTED.
If you require more help please do not hesitate to ask.

ENJOY THE SITE AND HAVE FUN.
