Gday,
Just curious...who here reads past the first page on the
forum?
If ive been away and havent viewed for a while...i never read past the first page.
Alternatively...once a topic goes off the first page i stop posting on it.
Am I just lazy...or do others do the same?
Cheers
Rev

I read every page,thats because I log on at least once every day when I am at
home. (Off to
Shark Bay in May for a couple of weeks and then the Gympie muster in July, on to the
gold coast for a few weeks and to wherever the road goes till we are ready to head
home)
I just have to get this new laptop sorted out with wireless internet.Anyone got ideas for the best way to do it ?

any old Wireless ADSL router/modem and an ISP with an ADSL service (assuming you can get ADSL).
Then you need a wireless modem for your laptop, and you're away.
Unless and until you live near enough to a free wireless hot spot (rarely than rocking horse bleep these days), that's your best way.
Ciao for now
Andrew.

Evening all ,
I find this format good , i log on most every night , scan through and read what i'm interested in untill i get to what i read last time i was here , then just look for any that i was interested in from there on , can use thread watch to make it eaiser to find if you want , i have looked at other forums , this one seems better to me ,, keep up the good work David ..
Neil !!

This subject seems to generate a lot of, shall we say, firm opinions.
But if you don't know what you're missing ...
you don't know what you're missing.
If you've used the features of some of the more functional forums around you'll know that most of the things people perceive that they lose going to categories, can be got back quickly and easily with high functionality forums.
The FAQ could be more readily accessed by newbies without annoying the natives, questions more than 1 day old answered for people who needed those answers from folks who didn't see them on that day, subjects of no interest to users would not get in the way of their access to information and their contribution to the
forum.
My 2c worth for now
Andrew.

I must be an ExplorOz junkie.
If I have been away a few days I enter the date in the search field that I want to begin from, then start at the bottom (last page) and work forwards.
I don't necessarily open and read every Post, only the ones whose heading attracts my interest.
I guess we all have different ways of doing things.
Now, for the "sales pitch".
If you are a member, you can mark individual posts with a Post Watch so that it is readily available to call up at any time.
So,
fork out your $50 Rev:-)

I just might Sand Man lol,
Im hankering for one of those wheel covers too.
Im frequent other forums (perth4x4.net, patrol4x4.com, 4wdmonthly.com) and they all have categorised areas. are all interesting for a short time.
However I like exploroz format as you get a broad variation of post topics that you may not usually find in a category you dont bother looking under.
I did like finding out about the time response however. I dont usually post unless i have something to say...but i read the
forum daily.
Again David keep up the good work.
