Where are these places?

Maybe I'm a bit grumpy tonight but I pay to belong to Exploroz. I don't mind sharing information and advice - the very generous advice from members is the reason a lot of us became members in the first place. I can understand werewasi's frustration at not having identification of the pictures. But advice/mild complaints from non-members as to how things might be improved on the site is not appreciated. Become a member, werewasi, and then have your say.

And if I see one more "I'm about to chuck the kids in the truck and hit the road for a year, never camped and what do I need to pack?" post I might throw up.

Hey folks - cool it!!!

Some time ago forumites were invited to provide images for the header. It's pretty simple really. Just make up a strip of a dozen or more of your good images, maybe with a theme, and send them to David with a suitable caption. I'm sure that invitation is still open.

When you make up a strip you'll find there really isn't a single title that describes your new composite image. Today's (Tuesday) for example is one of ours and short of captioning each of about 20 images, which would involve far more work than is justified, it isn't possible to provide a specific title. In any case, the theme for today's was simply "explore Oz", and very few of the images are specific to time or place.

The beauty of this site is that everyone is welcome to contribute and to draw on the pool of experience and expertise contributed by others. Some choose to join as members, some sign up for life, others stay in the background, some come to the fore, some choose not to join. All are welcome to contribute to the pool and to draw from it.

Those who'd like to contribute a header pic, please do so. See David's post 92568 for details and specifications for the images. It isn't hard to do so long as you have a photo editor capable of resizing images, and combining them into a strip. (We use the freeby XNView for all our editing.)

Cheers

I can agree with the comment about seeing the same question appear SO many times over and over. How do I do this when that question has been asked and answered.

Then you reply to a question with advice from your expereince and get no reply let alone a thanks you. You just saved me hours of time, frustration and money but I cannot be bothered to type 2 words of gratitude.

Reading the forum is fun and brings back memories of places and trying to do jobs as well, but you get fed up spending 30 minutes writing an answer and wonder why you took the time.

There you are my 5 minutes of complaint. I still ready the forum however everyday.

Just a couple of final points.

John and Val,
No I wasn't suggesting that you were the party being critical of my query about the titling. it was someone else.

What I do think is that we need to hold back a little when we perceive that someone else is getting a free ride because we don't have the whole picture.

I had a wonderful experience two years ago when i rode a Moto Guzzi for two months across the US. The MG community whom I'd talked to for a long time previously on their forum, asking for tips on how to go about planning this, reached out and invited me to stay at their places as I passed through. Most of them will never come to Aus. so sadly I can't repay their hospitaliity.
However what I did absorb was their belief in "paying forward" where as host/helper they did something without reward. What YOU do, is go out of your way later to help someone else. Real Karma stuff.

Still didn't get an answer about the punt on the Cooper. whereabouts?
