Hi,
Is there anywhere on ExplorOz where i can upload some trackfiles and/or waypoints for all (or only members) to access?
I have some high quality trackfiles from my local 4wd area eg
Cape Palmerston which several members have asked for, so was thinking of making it freely accessible here instead of off-site. Is there somewhere easily searchable for all to access such files?
Maybe David et al could allow uploading of these files into a new subsection under the relevant place area eg Site Link to keep all information in the one spot.
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
Your idea to keep it all together is good, but for now I can only suggest putting the file here
Hope this helps.
Trevor.

Thanks Doug,
I saw that area (with your file in it) however thought that it may be too messy to manage and find....I would rather see something more structured/searchable easily by all (the fileswap area is only as good as the filename that members choose eg, if i'm looking for
Cape Palmerston, a file called windmill_bay may not be obvious to visitors that it is useful.

Member File Swap is what you are talking about, and its available now, just hover your pointing device (or mouse) over Members in the manu above and click on Member FileSwap.

Trevor and Doug had already suggested this option earlier, however i am after another (better?) option.......the fileswap area is just a mixture of files and, as explained before, can be useless if not named correctly. Even a subsection, like Checklists and Planners, Cooking and
Recipes, distinguish the type of information better than throwing it into one large miscellaneous section. Maybe a subsection called Waypoints/Tracklogs etc could be adequate.

Thats a good idea, I might suggest that to the site admin if that is OK with you?

That's fine with me :-) Would suffice if there are no other options.

I thought that's what you were doing....asking them to set up another subsection?
