Emerald Hills Website Help
- Acrobat files, printable files
- Most of the documents are in Acrobat format
(.PDF) and require Acrobat
Reader to view
them. Most PC's come with Acrobat
already
installed. However, if you
do not have Acrobat
you may get a free copy by
clicking on the
Acrobat icon below.
Display Windows, Location, Missing
- This is a frames based website. In general,
most links on this site will
display in the
main frame, leaving the header
(top) and
navigation links (left) in
place. However,
links that display a large
document or external
site may display in their own
page. Use of
full screen mode or fully enlarged
windows
may make it difficult to see
the separate
document window. You may need
to use your
task manager or task bar to
locate the window.
You may display any link in
its own window
(not in main frame) pressing
'shift' as you
click on the link or by 'right
clicking'
on that link and then selecting
the "open
in new window" option
from the pop-up
menu.
- ehhoa-members Mail List
- A special E-mail list exists to allow EHHOA
members to easily communicate with all those
in the list. This communication method is
often referred to as a 'listserv'. Anyone
in the list can send an E-mail to all of
the list members simply be sending a single
an E-mail to the E-mail list name 'ehhoa-members'
at the 'ehhoa.info' domain. Please be sure
to keep your email text appropriate and 'neighborly'.
The E-mail list is also used by the EHHOA
Intrernet and Database Committee to send
out news and events from time to time. Additional
help can be found on the E-mail listserve page.
- Junk Mail, Virus, SPAM
- Problems with junk mail from EHHOA? Probably
not, but please CLICK HERE for more about a problem with junk mail
and a virus that started around 11/23/05.
- Member services UserName and Password
- Member services functions require either
a common or personal UserName and Password to gain access. This has been done to protect
Emerald Hills homeowners from
unauthorized
advertising, email SPAM, and
related misuse
as a result of the member directory.
Members
are urged to not pass the UserName and Password along to others.
To obtain the common UserName and Password please use our Contact Us page to send a request note to the Webmaster.
Please include your phone number
(or other
contact information) in your
request as we
need to be sure that those
making the request
are Emerald Hills owners and
that you understand
to not pass this information
to others. Personal UserNames and Passwords are limited to the EHHOA Board, web adminstration,
and some staff personal.
Members are requested to not pass either printed or electronic member
lists to non Emerald Hills owners.
Please report changes or additions
to your
directory entry the Webmaster
via E-mail
found on our Contact Us page. If you do not wish to have your phone
number or email in the directory
you must
let us know. You may not remove your name or address as this data
is part of the Virginia public
real estate
records.
Printing of a wide listing
requires that
you select 'landscape' orientation
from the
page setup or your printer
properties.
- Moving Around, Back and Forward
- All usable links are found on the navigation
frame on the left of the main
page as well
as within pages that display
in the main
frame or the document window.
Normal use
of the left frame links will
not require
the use of the browser's 'back'
or 'forward'
buttons. However, use of the
'back' or 'forward'
buttons may be useful when
selection was
done from a like in the main
frame. IE users
may find 'Alt-left arrow' and 'Alt-right arrow' keys useful as 'back' and 'foward' alternatives.
A page may be opened in a new
window instead
of in the main website frame
by holding down
the Shift key as you click on that page's link or right
clicking on the link and selecting
open in
new window or new tab, etc..
- Official EHHOA E-Mail Notices
- Please CLICK HERE for this information.
- Phone numbers, numbers blanked out (xxx-xxxx)
- We do not display personal phone numbers
of individuals on the public
portion website.
For example, see the Welcome Letter. The numbers are blanked out in any documentes
that would have otherewise
carried them.
Please refer to our Contact us page for our Email ids. Phone numbers are
published in the password protected
member directory. Phone numbers and similar Information the
you post in the message board is not blanked out. Please be careful of
the content of your message
as all messages
are considered public.
- Printing pages and images
- Effort has been taken to format pages and
documents in a way that they
will print properly
on 8-1/2 x 11" paper in
portrait mode.
However, the directory listings
may require
landscape print orentation.
You may also
need to reduce margin or text
size to assure
single page web pages fit onto
a single sheet
of paper. Acrobat files normally
print properly.
If not, try using the 'fit
to page' Acrobat
option.
Images can be printed with
IE by 'right clicking'
on the image and selecting
"Print picture".
Netscape users can select "view
image"
and then use the normal browser
print. In
all cases, images can be locally
saved by
'right clicking' on them and
choosing "Save
image as".. or "Save
picture as".
You can then use your computer's
image software
to manage and print the images.
To print the subdivision map, right click
on the page heading "Emerald
Hills Subdivision
Map" and select print
from the menu.
To view a bigger image just
click on the
map image. You can then save
the full image
to your PC for your own use.
Printing of
the full image is not recommended
as it will
not fit on a standard printer.
- Search facility
- Use of member services requires the common or personal username and password. See above discussion.
The Search facility provides a method of looking up records
in the member services database. In the simplest form, text such
as a person's last name is entered. By default,
multiple search words must all be found in
a record or records to return a result. Checking
the 'any' box returns records where any of
the search words were found. A space may
be forced into a search word with and underbar
(_). For example "_john_" would return names of John and not
Johns Valley. The string "/05_" would most likely return records with
aquired dates in 2005. Combining search words
"%nem %ph %s3" would result in a list of all those
in section 3 who have a listed phone but
do not have email.
In addition, thre are several
tags buried
in the database to facilitate
group searches.
All tags start with a percent
(%) sign. A
few examples are below. As
with and search
word, you may use just a part
of the tag.
For example "%2005b" would return the 2005 board member's
records. You can't tell who
the actual board
member's name, just the family
name. Tags
can be combined with any other
search words
as well.
-
Grid lines may be added to the resulting
list by checking the Show grid lines box.
For security purposes, you must have a personal
username and password to see email ids in
the listing. Otherwise, you will only see
the "CLICK ON... " text in the
listing.
