The following page outlines some common problems visitors have when attempting to view this website. If you have a particular problem which is not addressed by the following problems and suggested solutions, please send your questions to me (See: Submissions).
I can't see anything
on the top of the main page.
Chances
are, you do not have Macromedia Flash 5.0 or higher installed.
Go to the Macromedia
website and download the plug in. While most of the site can be reached
without the Flash 5.0 plug-in, a lot of the site cannot be seen fully.
I can see the
Flash movies, but I can't hear anything and they keep crashing my computer.
You possibly
have Macromedia Flash 3.0 or lower installed instead of Macromedia Flash
5.0 or above. Flash 4.0 and above files which iSoaker.com uses encode
sound using MP3 compression. This can cause some problems for Flash 3.0
or lower players. Even if you have Flash 4.0 installed, some of the newer
movies have functions which work only using the Flash 5.0 player. Your
best bet is to install Flash 5.0 or above.
If you do have Flash 5.0 or above installed, either you don't have a sound card, your speakers are off, or you do not have enough free memory for the Flash 5.0 or above Player to run smoothly. Try closing other programs and see if this helps resolve the problem.
I submitted a
review/story/tech development to you. When will it be posted?
Depending
on my own schedule, accepted posts typically go up within a few days.
However, there is also the possibility that a post has not been deemed
acceptable for posting on iSoaker.com. If this is the case, I typically
respond to the sender stating why and what needs to be done. However,
if a post is found outright offensive to me, do not expect any form of
response or acknowledgement.
Why iSoaker.com?
iSoaker.com is derived from the obvious short form ("Internet Soaker") and the more subtle play on words ("I, Soaker") As the iSoaker.com website covers a lot more ground than simply weapon reviews, the name became more fitting than the previous name of Aquatechnology. Also, "www.aquatechnology.com" is already registered under a different company.
How often are
new posting put up?
I try to put up a posting at least once a week during the Spring and Summer
months. (If I don't... oh well.)
Why are you using
Macromedia movies on your site? Why not keep it simple images and text?
In light of the evolving Internet, I have tried to keep the iSoaker.com
site on par with the latest web technologies. Fact is Macromedia Flash
content allows iSoaker.com to incorporate moving pictures, interactive
menus, smoother navigation, and sound without greatly increasing file
sizes. Most Flash movie files are often even smaller than the previous
images they have replaced! Of course, for those who cannot view or have
difficulty viewing the Flash files, I have posted text links to all relevant
pages at the bottom of each page.
Are all sections
available for non-Flash enabled browsers?
Not all sections are viewable to non-Flash enabled browsers. Since this
site is run by one individual, the non-Flash enabled browers will be unable
to view features that require Flash has such as iSoaker Elite, the Flash
Blaster movie, etc.
What is in store
for iSoaker.com?
The future will tell...
Are you obsessed
with water weapons?
Yes. And by the fact that you're still reading this, you probably are,
too
