Q. Why do I only see the old pages of the Club’s website when I know there’s been an update?
A. This is probably because your computer is trying to be too helpful! What often happens is that your computer keeps the image of the page you saw when you last visited the website so that it can quickly show it to you again when you next want to see it; what you need to do is to refresh your screen image.

Try the following: -
Press your Refresh button, (two opposite facing curved green arrows), usually found on the Tool Bar next to the 'Home' icon; if that doesn't work then Press 'F5' and if that doesn't work finally press 'Ctrl + F5'.

Once you’ve refreshed your screen image you should see the latest update of the webpage

Q. How do I make EKSSC the first page I see when I start up my computer?
A. Internet Service Providers, (ISPs), usually make their website the default address so that you open up on their website page, but you can change the default, (opening), page to whatever you like and whenever you like.

To make EKSSC your choice of opening page, first open Internet Explorer and you will go to your usual opening page, then:-

Go to Tools>Internet Options>Address and delete whatever is in the box and replace it with http://www.ekssc.co.uk click Apply and then OK and it’s done; you'll open up on the EKSSC website until you want to change it again.

Q. Why isn’t my picture in the Photo Gallery?
A. Why indeed! The short answer is because you haven’t sent any pictures of yourself to the website.

Q. Why aren’t there more pictures on the website?
A. The Club does not have its own ‘resident’ photographer for taking pictures for the website, so the only pictures we have are those sent in by the Members themselves.

Q. Why does the race order get changed from the published programme?
A. The programme is printed a few days before the meeting and shows what the intended race order will be. The track then has to be assessed on the day of the meeting and decisions made that will maximise the safety of all the riders taking part, this consideration can result in the published race order being revised.

Q. Why do the more senior riders often go out first in the race order?
A. In order to assess the track it can be helpful, to the track officials, to send out the more experienced riders first. They will usually establish some 'lines' and at the same time show if the track is riding as was intended or whether some modification is needed before the more junior riders are sent out.
