Q: Why can't I view the entire website on my computer screen? The pages are too wide and I have to scroll side to side.
A: The website was constructed for optimal viewing at 1024 x 768 pixels or greater. If your screen resolution is set at 800 x 600 or lower, try changing it to a higher resolution. To read more on this topic and learn how to change the resolution on your computer, try this website.

Q: Changing the resolution didn't help. My screen is still not showing the website correctly. What's wrong?
A: This website is based on users viewing in medium size text. If you are viewing the pages in the large text, the lines will wrap around and cause lines to look uneven. This is the number one problem with most viewing malfunctions. Go to the "View" tab, then select "Text Size" and click on "medium". That should cure any viewing problems you are currently having.
