Tips on browsing the site

I've tried to make navigation of uboat.net as simple as I have possibly could. Below are a few tips that symbolize this effort.

1. Bookmark uboat.net's front page

2. Check the What's New page frequently. I document every significant update there. The site is upgraded several times a week. Not annually like some sites

3. You should also check the 4 major section front pages
The Boats
The Books
The Men
Fighting the U-boats (Allies)
frequently as I will continue to improve them and add elements already within the site but perhaps too deeply nested.

4. Check the FAQ page on a regular basis

The Forums are really powerful tool which I encourage you to use.

6. I see from my log files that a lot of your are guessing at URLs and looking for files the hard way.

The rule of thumb here is that all files of uboat.net are .htm and not .html and you should have a better luck. Also the types, such as XXI would be in a file called xxi.htm The server the site is hosted on is case-sensitive (i.e. you get an error when you type "/types/XXI.htm" if the file is called "/types/xxi.htm"). All file-names on uboat.net are written in a lowercase format.
