How To View the Newest Version of each Page!

Some browsers display a web page the way it looked the last time you viewed it (the "cached" version). You will normally want to be sure that your browser is showing you the latest newest version of a page instead.

IT IS EASY TO CHANGE SETTINGS to make sure you get the newest version EVERY time you visit a page.

IN INTERNET EXPLORER

click TOOLS on the top menu bar.
Click INTERNET OPTIONS,
Choose 1st tab on the top row: GENERAL
BROWSING HISTORY click SETTINGS
Under Temporary Internet Files >
Check for newer versions of stored pages>
SELECT the first option "Every time I visit the web page."

Click OK at the bottom, then OK again to close it out.

You may have to restart your browser and/or computer before the settings take effect.

QUICK FIX: For most browsers, just hit the F5 key while viewing a page! This usually loads the newest version!

Prevent Automatic Picture Re-sizing

If you are not able to see the large, detailed, full-page, high resolution images on this website, PLEASE reset your browser's default settings to prevent it from "resizing" pictures smaller without your permission. 

INTERNET EXPLORER

click TOOLS on the top menu bar.
Click INTERNET OPTIONS,
then choose the ADVANCED tab
In the SETTINGS white box: scroll down (about 2/3 of the way) until you see "MULTIMEDIA"

UNCHECK "Enable automatic image resizing"
UNCHECK "Smart image dithering."

Click the APPLY button at the bottom of the window, then click OK to close the window.

You may have to restart your browser and/or computer before the new settings take effect.

FIREFOX Browser

If you use Firefox, the browser automatically re-sizes large images, which is usually annoying.

To see instructions on how to change your FireFox browser to display original photo size, there are many sites to offer step by step instructions. Links are not provided since they change regularly. Try doing a Google search for "Stop Firefox Auto Resizing Images"

For more advanced users:

You can disable auto resizing in Firefox (Version 2 or higher) by

1. Open FireFox browser

2. In the address bar, enter:

about:config

3. Copy and paste the following line into the filter line…

browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing

4. Double click the preference once to change the value from true to false

5. Close Firefox and restart for changes to apply.

This site has been designed with streamlined, fast-loading CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and should be easily viewed in ALL MAJOR MODERN BROWSERS (both Windows and Mac). This type of web design is also highly accessible to the text-only voice browsers for the visually handicapped.

If you are still using Netscape Navigator 4, PLEASE do yourself a favor and upgrade to a newer or different browser ASAP. The older Netscape browsers are notorious for being bug-ridden and have difficulty handling the newer stream-lined methods of web design.

If you are a little bit more adventurous than the average "surfer," you might want to try the no-frills OPERA browser or Mozilla Firefox. At this writing, both browsers are fast, free to download, and far more secure than either Microsoft, or Netscape's browsers.

For "newbies" on the web, and for basic beginner help, the Show Dogs Supersite has some very useful basic info and links to help you get started on the web.
