Is the text size too large or too small?If you find that the text size on the pages is too small or too large, you can alter the text size on the page through your browser options: in Internet Explorer, go to View > Text size and select your desired text size setting (eg. larger, smaller); in Netscape browsers go to View>Text size. Select a larger or smaller 'percentage' or click on 'larger' (or 'smaller') to go one size up or down.

Images are taking too long to load in dial-up mode
You can turn off pictures through your internet explorer 'tools'. Click on the tools drop down menu at the top of your browser screen. Then select 'internet options' > click the 'advanced' tab > scroll down the tick boxes until you come to the group headed 'multimedia' > find and untick the box labelled 'show pictures'. This will disable all pictures, but will not prevent you from receiving all the important information on this site. You can reverse the process at any time by reticking the 'show pictures' box.
