How to print ships profiles from Ships of
CalMac...
|
|
To print a ships profile from Ships of CalMac you first need to select the ship
you want, then click 'File' from the top left hand corner of your browser and
then print. It should open a box with options on it, you need to select 'Page
Setup' and then 'Landscape' you can then print the profile and it should come
out
on one page to make into a folder or just keep as is. If you want to save ink,
you can either print it out in black and white, or request a just text version
of the required ship of the entire fleet (see the Shop)
Histories can be printed out the same way.

Having Login Problems?
|
Login problems are 99 percent due to cookies not being allowed on your computer. Setting cookies will vary with different types of browser (what you are using to view this web page is called a browser.)
It is IMPERATIVE that your machine can accept cookies. These are tiny files that are placed in a special folder in your machine by websites so that they can keep a record of who you are. They are not dangerous.
Ships of CalMac's scripts only set your username, first name and surname (and sometimes your email) but that is all. They are not used to track your movements or do anything else, only to remember you when each page is called. If the script cannot see who you are, it assumes you have not logged in.
Look at your browsers options and check that cookies are enabled. If not, turn them on. You can have advanced options with some browsers that let you stipulate what domains (e.g.
www.shipsofcalmac.co.uk) you will accept cookies from.
Username/Password Difficulties
If you are SURE that cookies are enabled but the script still refuses to recognise you, be sure to check you are entering your username and password exactly as you first entered them when you subscribed. A record of your log in details was mailed to your email address when you did this. If you didn't get it, it is possible your email address was entered incorrectly. Contact
us at shipsofcalmac -at- hotmail.co.uk (remember to rewrite this properly using the '@' symbol, I have left it out so spam robots don't pick it up) and I will amend your records and send you your correct login details
