SPECIAL PAINTBALL TOOLS: As you flip through SPLATXD, you'll notice a ton of little yellow buttons with different icons on them. These icons are meant to further the amount of paintball resources at your disposal, as each button takes you where you need to go to find more information on whatever topic your reading about. Here's a breakdown of the buttons and what they all mean.

Dollar Sign: Click here to go directly to the "Buy Now" page for this item.
Camera: Takes you to special photo galleries so you can see more photos on the subject.
Fist: Takes you to a related PBNation thread.
Question Mark: Links you directly to the host website of the company your reading about.
Letter: Send an email to a company/player/SPLAT Girl.
Myspace Logo: Visit the myspace pages of pro players and SPLAT Girls alike.
Eyeball: "See" additional info on this topic
Video Camera: "Watch" additional info on this topic.
RR: It's a secret, there's only one of this button in this issue.

SPLATXD Ads: All the ads in SPLATXD click-through directly back to the manufacturer's website. This way you don't have to wait to buy the hottest new goggles from JT, or find more info on the latest Stiffi barrel.

Maximizing Your SPLATXD Experience: Since SPLATXD features more video than just about any other digital magazine in existence (Let alone paintball), load times may vary depending on your computer/internet speed. To help you out with this, we have set the smaller size videos to "Auto-play" meaning they'll start to play the second you turn to the page their on, while you'll need to hit play on the larger videos. This prevents too much content trying to buffer and load at once, which could drastically slow your experience. So if you come across a video and it doesn't automatically start to play, just click play on the toolbar.

Also, the biggest news to mention is that very soon, all SPLATXD content will be shot 100% in High-Def (HD) video, allowing for crystal clear pro-training, gun and product reviews, and other instructional video content. As soon as I know what issue this is going to start with I'll let you guys know.
