Reeltime Mag Navigation Tips

Page Turning

Turn the pages by either clicking the green back and forwards buttons at the bottom of the mag, or if you want to be super cool. Cool

You should try placing your mouse over the corner of the page and left click hold down and drag the page, just like a paper based mag.

Jump to a favourite story or page

 

Try clicking on the contents button to uncover a list of feature articles. Clicking on one of the pics of the articles then takes you to that page. (this may take some time to load up as the mag actually loads 3 pages either side of where you are at any time. Just be a little patient.

 

Another way is to use the Go to page button. Simply type in the desired page number and hit the go button.

 

Our Sponsors

Please support the mag by supporting our sponsors. Clicking on their logo's on the left hand side will take you to their ads in the mag and also to their website.

 

Email

Wherever you see an email address listed it should automatically create an email for you by clicking on it. This will save time for those wanting to seek more info on a topic or product.

 

Keyboard shortcut F11

For internet Explorer users click Function key F11 to get a full screen version of the mag.

Clicking it a second time takes you back to normal screen.

 

Zoom in - Zoom out

Right clicking your mouse anywhere on the mag or on the video's will allow you to select either zoom in or zoom out. This will allow you to take a closer look at the smaller pics.

 

Video Players

The video's are set up so that they automatically wait about 15 or 20 seconds to allow the vids to buffer. I was so frustrated when testing the mag when the vids kept stopping to buffer half way through that I decided to force the wait so it hopefully will play straight through. Different internet speeds may require longer buffering, but because it is in a separate window you can go back to reading the mag while the vid buffers and then simply unminimize it and play the vid.

 

More tips will be added as I think of them.

 

Cheers

vid streaming

Unfortunately there is no way of testing the server speed other than feedback from you guys. If it is a major issue we will try and upgrade at a later stage.
Only immediate fix is to open the vid then minimise the new window, go back to reading the mag then play a few minutes later once you see the buffer bar far enough across.
Hope that helps. Thanks for the feedback.

Cheers

right click on the flash

Tue, 2009-03-03 11:15

right click on the flash player, go to settings, ther will be a tab down the bottom that looks like a folder click on that tab. should see a screen that says local storage, "how much info can fishwrecked store on your computer" default is 100kb (wich is really small) so i up ming to unlimited and noticed big increase in movie speed. and surfing speed. allowes you to continiously download stuff ahead of time, instead of downloading 100kb chunks,  i think
