ExplorOz - David & Michelle
It's so exciting watching the new website developments David is working on. We can't wait to show it to you but its very difficult, demanding and frustrating at times. Adele is on annual leave this week, so I'm struggling through doing 2 jobs at the moment, plus being very patient giving constructive comments to David upon his progress with the changes. And I'm trying to cut back on coffee!! LOL Maybe ready to launch end of week? Not sure yet...

Change is always positive and the site only gets better.
Well done guys, keep it up.
Adele deserves a holiday, she does a great job with the
shop stuff always good service from her.

Look forward to seeing the fruits of your hard labour D & M, and all at the EO team.
Technology is moving so fast these days, I guess we all need to keep up with it or become dinosaurs.
You have a winner with EO, so you guys and girls must be doing something right :-))))

Hi Michelle
David does a fantastic job and it is appreciated by all here on EO and we all know just how frustrating it would be at times.
Rather than give Adele annual leave, you should have given it to the gremlin so they are not aware that there will be changes on the way....LOL.
Keep the great work coming.
Cheers
Stephen

Hi TerraFirma
There is only one Coffee that is worth fighting for and that is a Farmers Union (only people that drink this will know what I am on about and is the best in Australia).

Oh gee, thanks for your support everyone! I didn't even expect a reply. It's so nice to read these pleasant comments. Yes, its been many years of dedication and hard work but it would all be for nothing if not for you - you guys have made the site what it is today and will always be very much a site that evolves around your feedback.
Unfortunately Heather, the only chocolate here was cooking chocolate, but I took your advice and ate it! Oops!

Gee she has put the pressure on! It is not a new site as such just a major layout facelift and and completely rewritten
shop & classified system. I will get the bulk of the updates installed later this week and will continue on some areas after the updates are installed - yes it is exciting and once it is installed check out the
shop & classified systems as the
forum,
blogs and other areas will move more towards this screen layout.
Some of this update is related to better mobile device support but really I will tackle these updates more once the initial update is installed and over the next month or so. Yep month or so it does take along time to effect change over more than a quarter million pages of content.

Looking forward to the new format - hope it's better.
On request though.... sorry to do this. Can you get the search engine working properly in the
Forum home ..... neither the text or screen name search return consistent results. For example, a search in the screen name only returns the name if the poster is the OP, not any subsequent posts on the thread, and the text search isn't working for literals "..." or conjoined searches. Went looking the other day for some comments I'd made about OzTents in the archive .... gave up in the end in frustration.

D & M
I too look forward to seeing the new changes, on another subject have you thought about an App for Iphones, one where people could get road reports , Weather, and other Outback information.
