If you want to change your screen resolution and you're using Windows, here's how (you can always change it back):   click a blank section of your Desktop, click "Properties", and click "Settings"; write down -- or at least remember -- your current screen resolution (which may be something like "800 x 600 pixels"); move the slider to a different screen resolution, click "Apply" and then click "OK".  This will change the size of your Desktop icons and also change the size of things in your browser.  

Although the "live" picture from Northstar, above, is usually updated at the camera end every five minutes, if you have the SF Ski Club web site up on your screen for more than five minutes, you'll have to click the "refresh" button on your browser to get an updated picture.  (The picture does get "stuck" on the camera end from time to time, but they are usually pretty good about getting the camera working again.)  For more cams, head to Outdoor Cameras. 

If all the images do not show up (instead you get a white box with red "x" in it), try refreshing your browser window.  If you are using Internet Explorer (and most people are), click the icon at the top with the two curved arrows that are chasing each other.  (If you let your cursor rest on the icon for a moment, usually a little "refresh" label will come up.)

If the animations don't work and you are using ZoneAlarm as your firewall, you'll need to change its settings.  With the new version of ZoneAlarm, open ZoneAlarm, click the "Privacy" link, in the "Ad Blocking" section click the "Custom" button, then make sure the "Animation" box does NOT have a check in it.   

Favicons are the "custom" icons on your browser's Favorites list and on your desktop shortcuts (as opposed to the default icon that otherwise appears -- and which looks like this ).  The SF Ski Club favicon is  .  One problem with favicons is that if you clear your browser cache (the saved copies of the web pages you've visited), you lose your favicons and get the boring default icon instead.  If you (understandably) find this annoying, there is a program call FavOrg you can run that will save your favicons.  Click here to download it.  

This site is tested for compatibility with MS Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox (which effectively covers Netscape, since it uses the same engine as Firefox).  This covers over 90% of users.  We recommend a display of at least 800x600 pixels, with your browser running in full screen mode.  Still, it's sometimes difficult to get things to work the same in different formats--so the formatting may not always be perfect with your browser running on your computer.  (Actually, the screens do not necessarily format the same way for two different computers even if both are using the same resolution and browser.  The operating system plays a role, too.)
