Conditions related to submission of material - effective 15 October 2003
We do not claim ownership of the materials that you provide (a "submission"), including feedback and suggestions, for review by the general public, or by the members of any public or private group. However, by making a submission you are granting us permission to use your submission in connection with the operation of WCR, including, without limitation, the right to:
copy, distribute, transmit, publicly display, reproduce, edit, translate and reformat your submission;
publish your name in connection with your submission (unless anonymity was requested at the time of submission).
We are under no obligation to post or use any submission you may provide and we have the sole discretion to remove any submission at any time. By making a submission you warrant and represent that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to your submission including, without limitation, all the rights necessary for you to provide, post, upload or input the submission. In cases where material is copied from another web site, we shall in every case make best endeavours to obtain the permission of the owner/copyright holder.
In practical terms, we will assume that you agree to publication of the images and text that you provide to us. You should let us know at the outset if you wish part of your submission and/or your name to be excluded from publication. In the case of material that has already been published; on written request, we will:
remove your name;
remove those parts of your submission that are personal opinions;
consider making additional amendments to suit your wishes, but will only remove statements of fact if there are strong reasons for doing so.
Conditions related to material - prior to 15 October 2003
We cannot alter the fact that what is now on WCR has been 'published' and has been delivered into the public domain. As well as being stored on our web server, many pages are cached in other servers and PC browsers across the world.
We have always believed, in good faith, that those people who made submissions (photographs/images and textual memories) were doing so in the full knowledge that the submissions would, or could, be published in full, or in part, on the WCR web site. However, if it is made clear that you were not aware of this, we will make whatever amendments or deletions that you wish.
If you did anticipate publication at the outset, but now wish to have your submission removed or amended, we will try to meet your wishes as far as we feel is possible, given the nature and context of the item(s) concerned.Links to Third Party Sites
WCR embodies links to third party Web sites ("Linked Sites"). The Linked Sites are not under our control and we are not responsible for the contents of any Linked Site. We provide these links to you only as a convenience, and the inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by us of the site or any association with its operators.
Any dealings with third parties (including advertisers) included within WCR, or participation in promotions, including the delivery of and the payment for goods and services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings or promotions, are solely between you and the advertiser or other third party. We shall not be responsible or liable for any part of any such dealings or promotions.
Links from Third Party Sites
We have no control over the existence of links to WCR from Third Party web sites. Placement of such links is entirely legal and their existence does not imply endorsement by us of the sites concerned or any association with their operators.
We reserve the right to amend these Terms & Conditions at any time.

Navigation
All links are in white bold text. In Internet Explorer (not Netscape), they should change colour to red when your mouse pointer 'hovers' above the link text.
Navigation of the site is intended to be as simple and uncluttered as possible, by using the main Contents List as an anchor. On every page, your 'path' to the present page will be shown, and you can click on any of the higher (white) links to move back up the chain. Easier to do than explain! If you have difficulty, or encounter 'duff' links, please let us know and we'll try and help you out.
Images are scaled for on-screen display (72 dots per inch), and are compressed to reduce loading time, so there has had to be a trade-off as regards quality. In cases where unacceptable loss of detail would occur, thumbnail pictures have been used as a link. By clicking on thumbnails, larger images will be opened (together with notes on content), but these may take a minute or so to download as the files are around 60-80 KB in size. We're conscious of the time taken for pages to load, due to the image content, and will be restructuring those that grow to a point where this becomes a problem.
For short anecdotes, corrections to errors, or supplementary info relating to existing material, please send by e-mail. For longer articles, we can handle files from any word-processing software (attach to an e-mail). If you're really hip, complete pages in HTML would be great!
Images, ideally, should be in JPEG (*.jpg) format, the bigger the better. In general, pics sized to a width on screen of around 10 inches (approx 720 pixels wide for techno-whizzes) will be fine. Don't compress too much, as there may be a need to do some processing before adding to the site. If in doubt, I'm sure we can advise.
No scanner? If you're willing to lend your prints/mags or whatever for a few days, they'll be handled with total respect and will be returned promptly by 1st class post in a stiff envelope. Please drop us a line & we'll forward a mailing address.
