Wow! More for Members...

We now have another great feature for our Members!

Members can now link any picture from their Gallery directly into Forum threads. To use the new feature, Members need to be replying, or posting in the Forum. At the bottom of the box where you type your text you will see a new option (Add Gallery Picture). Just click it and follow the prompts to add one or more pics from your existing Members Picture Gallery anywhere in your thread. To use this feature, you obviously need to have already loaded pics into your gallery. This is done via My Home page.

 

NOTE: Adding gallery pics to the forum will cause the image in your Picture Gallery to be locked until the thread is archived (1 month) so you will not be able to delete or change the picture during the lock period. Since the standard Members Gallery only holds 6 images, we will also be adding a "gallery upgrade" option so that you can store more than the current limit in your Gallery, for a small fee.

 

Not yet a Member? Then this is just another great reason to join up today.


Road Conditions

If you are looking for reports on track conditions Australia wide, then look no further than ExplorOz Road conditions

We focus specifically on offroad tracks where reports are regularly available and although you can obtain most of this information elsewhere, we make it easy for you by putting the reports together by state and region with as much incidental information as we are supplied with. Note - we welcome reports from travellers with updates/comments. Please email to juliana@exploroz.com


Forum

The Forum is starting to see a greater variety of sponsors - on both the Post Index view and the Open Thread view. 


As you move throughout all pages of the ExplorOz site, you will see that advertisers choose specific pages for their ad placement, based on page content being relevant to their product/service. Advertisers are telling us that they are receiving excellent results with some campaigns bringing a new referral to their business at a rate of 1 in every 4 page views on their ExplorOz Page Sponsor ad.
