How do I get around this site?
If you want to go to an area on the site, click with the left mouse button over the highlighted text you select. The menu on the left hand side of each page contains links to all the major sections of the site.
To get back to the start pages at any time click on the homepage button at the top left of each page. The start page for sites is known as the homepage.
You can go to another section of the site via a links in the text, the text will be in a different colour and the mouse pointer will change to a hand. If you click with the mouse on the text it will take you to more information on that subject.
Don't worry if you go to the wrong page, you can always go Back by click on Back Button found on the Buttons bar in the top left hand corner of your Browser or View > Go to > Back in Internet Explorer. You can do this again and again, until you get back to where you want to be.
Anywhere your pointer looks like a hand, rather than an arrow, it means you can click and go else where on the site.

How do I change my screen settings?
This site looks best with a screen resolution (the size of what is shown) of 800 x 600. To change this on a PC running the Windows 95 and upwards operating system, go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Display > Settings and change the desktop area by using the sliding bar.

How do I get back to this site if I leave it?
The address of our site is http://www.aberystwyth-online.co.uk/ If you want to come back to this site again, you can type in the address in the address bar and then press return on your keyboard. A good idea to save you doing this more than once, is to add this page to your favourites, in Internet Explorer click on Favourite > add to favourites > then name the page something that you will remember like "Aberystwyth Online".

How can I find what I need on this site?

The text is too small for me to read - how can I change it?
In Internet Explorer go to View > Text Size and select Larger or Largest. You could also try changing the screen resolution.

How do I go to another site?
If you know the URL (this is the address of the site - for example www.bbc.co.uk), then you can type this in the address bar and press return.

Why do some sections on some sites take ages to load?
This could be because the file sizes are large - for example, big pictures. It could also be because your connection to the Internet is slow, or because there are a lot of people looking at the site, - be patient!! Or try again later, when the Internet is not so busy - and there are fewer users surfing the net.
