Why
don't I see all the stories printed in the Daily Gleaner?
The Jamaica Gleaner Online is a compilation of news stories from
several Gleaner publications and does not represent a mirror of any single
publication.
What
is the purpose of the Guest Book?
We want to know more about our readers so that we can keep the
information on the site as relevant as possible.
Who
do I contact if I am having problems with the site?
Send e-mail to webadmn@jamaica-gleaner.com.

Which browsers work best with the Jamaica Gleaner
Online?
This site requires a frames capable browser. Netscape 3.0 and Microsoft's
Internet Explorer 3.0 are your best bets for viewing GO-JAMAICA.
I
can never seem to get off the first page. What is happening?
If the page looks like it is looping it is not. It keeps showing
the page for browsers which do not support frames. The site works only
with frames capable browsers such as Netscape 3.0 and Internet Explorer
3.0. The use of JavaScript must be enabled on these browsers.
The
Classifieds aren't working. Is something wrong?
We find that people forget to click on the GO button after
selecting a category.
Accessing
your Web site via AOL's browser is very slow and the pages don't look
very good. Why?
Early AOL browsers do not support all the HTML and CGI functionality
implemented on our site. It is not possible to adjust AOL's browser to
fix these problems. However, it is possible to use Netscape or Internet
Explorer in conjunction with the AOL service. This should clear up your
problems. Download Netscape or Internet Explorer from the Welcome Page
of our site.
I have a question you don't address in this FAQ.
How do I communicate it to you?
