You will probably reach this type of page in general sections of the site. You can use the icons (A) or drop menu (C) to move on
       
 
A typical section page with its home icon (left A), main section items selector (B) and detailed drop menu (C) for access to all regular section pages. A changeable static menu (D) provides onward links to temporary pages and others.

The dynamic news area (E) entry point is its heading.
       
 
The fixture list area (F) is also dynamically created and amendable. Text/Lists (H) will often have hotlinks to other pages or sites, with pictures (I) perhaps to enlarged views
       
  Graphics (I) may have hotlinks as well as enlarged views. Some pages have specific features, usually indicated by graphics or icons (G)
     

The structure of the site follows a fairly regular pattern. Each section displays its own sub-section menu (B) (the strip menu at the top) and a more detailed pop-up menu (C) which can be accessed on demand. General pages - such as those applicable to all sections or to PoloFarm - usually have a combination of icon menus (A) and static menus (D) as shown and described above.

  • In addition to the obvious, "hotspot" graphics will be added to reveal additional material or pictures.

  • You can do no long-term harm by entering any of the so-called "dynamic" areas unintentionally - most are protected by a simple password set. (All entries are logged, however, as a precaution against abuse.)

    NB If you have password authorisation to amend sections of the web-site, instructions for doing so can be found in the relevant section.

  • Many of the features will remain unusable if you attempt to view the site with an "old" browser. The design of the site is geared towards the majority of users who will be using Internet Explorer, and more recent versions (4+/5+) of that. There are some basic alternatives for browsers unable to display dynamic sections of the site - fixtures and snippet pages may have to viewed on separate pages.

    Of the latest browsers, Netscape 6 is not backwards compatible with earlier versions and does not support "layers" used for the on-demand pop-up floating menu system of this site. Until the product reaches a stable release state (it is very buggy at present) there is no point in changing the site back and forwards to fit its requirements. Please use the static menu system (D) and the site map icon (A) to go to the page you wish to view. You will find it a good idea to bookmark these for convenient future access.

    Opera 5+ likewise does not support the floating menu system.Like Netscape 6 it does, however, display the fixture and snippet sections. Netscape may stall and mis-display this and other areas from time to time. These are bugs.

    For these reasons it makes sense to join the 80% of 'Net users who find themselves using the latest versions of Internet Explorer (v5+) - this includes AOL browsers, incidentally!
    The fact they own Netscape indicates the readiness of the Netscape 6 product for use....

  • Please refer to PoloPOST - 'Using This Site' for further details

  • And, finally, the little entry below this that says "Previous" will take you to your previous page unless that page has opened in a new viewing window.

  • Please send an email to sitecheck@polofarm.org if you come across a problem such as a 'broken' link or something else that doesn't seem to work properly.
