PeteDowson Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Where's this magazine then?" 03-11-02, 17:18z  Hi folks, For a few days now there's been an announcement about a magazine available in the "Lobby", wherever that is. I've been on the VPC site via IE5 and followed nearly every link, including the one to the magazine announcement, but NOWHERE can I find the correct "Lobby" nor the magazine! I did get into one lobby, though it wouldn't accept my normal logon (had to use "Guest"), but it was some sort of chat room. What's the point of having an announcement for something if it isn't there or impossible to find? Or am I just being very dense?

Ben Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 1. "RE:Where's this magazine then?" 03-11-02, 18:51z  Hi Pete: Sorry for the confusion. I guess we have too many things named "Lobby" (Flight Room Lobby and Main VPC Lobby. You can find the magazine by going to: http://www.flightadventures.com/vpc.htm and then click FA Magazine from the menu or the picture of the magazine sitting on the table along the lower right side of the screen. Hope this helps! Ben **** VPC OffLine Reader Version 3.0.3.1 **** BETA 2 **** **** OLR.PL Build 1.72 **** Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Only the Flight Room lobby seems to have any links to it from elsewhere though.There's no mention of the "Main VPC Lobby" anywhere I went, except in the announcement. Odd. You'd think there'd be a link from the announcement about the Magazine? > You can find the magazine by going to: > > http://www.flightadventures.com/vpc.htm and then click FA Magazine from > the menu or the picture of the magazine sitting on the table along the > lower right side of the screen. Hmmm .... Menu? I have my link to VPC as: http://www.flightadventures.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi From there I didn't find any way of getting to the "Lobby" you mentioned. I'll try the link you suggest, see what that looks like.

But hey, better late than never, right? > I have my link to VPC as: > > http://www.flightadventures.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi Hmm, you've been missing most of the site if that's the only way you've been visiting the VPC. Very interesting. Thanks for the heads up. Ben **** VPC OffLine Reader Version 3.0.3.1 **** BETA 2 **** **** OLR.PL Build 1.72 **** Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

I believe the 'Lobby' is the room you see as initial picture when you directly goto www.flightadventures.com. Enter it, and the same picture shows with some Java menus underneath. Within the picture there is the magazine icon shown at the bottom right corner near the Notams. When you click on it, you load the magazine.

Maybe just the once. My intial entry is at: http://www.flightadventures.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi > Enter it, and the same picture > shows with some Java menus underneath.

Not being a games player I never think of looking for pictorial ways of doing things! <G> I'll take a look. Thanks. It might be a good idea to provide some way of getting to the "Lobby" in the forums page. And if there's an announcement about something, as this time, then a link to it with the announcement itself would seem logical. <G> Regards, Pete **** VPC OffLine Reader Version 3.0.3.0 **** BETA 2 **** **** OLR.PL Build 1.72 **** Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
