Hi everyone, just joined up. I have a website www.kiwibeavers.com which has photos and info of all the DHC-2 Beavers that were on the NZ Register. Plus photos of other Topdressing aircraft and a few personalities. If anyone has any photos that could be added, that would be great. Thanks Dave for a great site. |

KiwiBeaver, (Graeme Mills?) Great website except that Beaver crossing keeps me from reading the text, any way it can be disabled after crossing the screen once please? Tah.  From Phil. |

Hi there
Great site you have set up! You have some great images there.
But I agree with Phil, that Beaver image crossing the screen makes things a little difficult to read.
Cheers
Anthony

Not sure why it has AZD as a registration, AZB is the only Beaver with AZ. Sorry about the screen thing with the home page, I use Mozilla which doesn't seem to have a problem. Does this happen with Internet Explorer? I'll get rid of the background and see if that solves it. Thanks.

I use Internet Explorer and it doesn't appear on my screen. The model was, so I was told, made by a serviceman in Cyprus over 40 years ago, perhaps there is nothing formal about the registration. Just a thought, but have you tried contacting the NZ Warbirds www.nzwarbirds.org.nz to see if they have anything for their syndicated Beaver? I think FlyNavy is using Foxfire? |

Sorry, should have given browser being used here. Internet Explorer 7 on WinXP SP2 all updated. I'll have a relook at the page now (FlyJoe180 must be a speed reader). NAH. The Beaver pic crosses slowly across my screen filling most of it. If it moved vertically I could attempt to speed read but unlike JoeFly360 my eyes don't cross fast enough. Thanks for any help on this. ;D I'll post a screenshot to demonstrate - a pic is worth a thousand whatnames. The large Beaver crosses the screen at just the right speed for me to forget whatever I have read before its passing so that I start on the wrong line next go round. Great Flying Aptitude Test there.    |

That picture flashes on my screen then disappears. Would you like to borrow my Joe90 glasses Phil? ;D

I think I need my eyes to migrate around my head - then I could be a real fish head and stop this 'fly navy' codswallop and start floundering away. ;D Glasses? Who needs glasses 270Oej!

I have removed the offending background so the problem should disappear............or maybe I need glasses Thankyou. BTW: My name is Graeme Mills, I now live in Rutherford, NSW which is just West Of Newcastle. I drove Loaders for Fieldair in Gisborne 1985-86 on Beavers, Fletchers & Daks. I worked with Bill Luther then who was once an Instructor with the Waikato Aero Club. I also drove for Andy Stevenson (Farmers Air) loading Cresco's for Andy, Pete Gordon, Bruce Petersen and Bill Luther. I have a lapsed PPL with 200 hours PIC, not sure about renewing it at the 53rd stage in life!! Neville Worsley in Rotorua has been an inspiration, supplying many photos and stories when he was in the topdressing industry. I just wish he had a computer  I just hope that people get some satisfaction out of the site, that's the main reason I do it. When an 86 year old ex-pilot calls you up and says how wonderful it is to see all the photos, it's the best feeling. Thanks. |

Graeme, Not sure what is happening but after deleting all files in the Internet Explorer cache (so that it starts afresh) at your website I'm still seeing the Beaver crossing the screen. Is this what you intend? Perhaps there is a delay between your updating of that page and the server online updating your site etc. Out of my league so I'll try later to see if the "Beaver is still crossing".
Perhaps if you can get access to a machine with WinXP IE7 you may see what I'm experiencing here. You have a great website nevertheless. Thanks again.
Phil.

Hi Phil, I have just deleted the logo up the top, maybe that was the culprit. I have XP/IE7 as well and have had no problems, this is weird!!

I have the same problem using Firefox 2 on Mac OS 10.4.11?
Safari 3.0.4 same problem.
Makes it a bit hard to read?

Graeme, My guess is that on your machine (local) with the offending photo deleted that things are OK but on the web on the server hosting the page that it has not caught up with your deletion so the pic still crosses the page. When the server refreshes your hosted page (sometimes I believe this can take several days) things will be OK. I have checked also an hour ago with Firefox2 with a new cache and your floating beaver is still on the web.
Phil.

kiwibeavers: Looks like your site was made with a Sitebuilder type thing from Yahoo so not sure if you can edit the code directly. But if you can then you want to search the html code for "if (layerSupport()) {" and change it to "if (0 && layerSupport()) {" and that will get rid of the floating image. Seems the image is an addon of the sitebuilder system called "flyBy", so maybe you can disable that in the sitebuilder itself?

I built the site using Yahoo Sitebuilder and, having no previous experience at it, well, can't you tell? I have deleted the background image that was flying by, I didn't even know how to make it do that until now!! I can't seem to access the Layer HTML code for the background. Other than what I have done, I do not know how to cure this weird thing. Maybe building sites should be left to people who know what they're doing......... ;D |

But let's all admit, apart from the glitch that only hits some people and not others, you've built a very interesting site. Well done.

Thanks Dave, if the problem still exists, I'll delete the page and start again. Not until the weekend though........
