Feedback | | | Submitting
your own feedback | The new Feedback
function for the ExplorOz treks is proving popular. We've had 1/2 a dozen
responses in a week. One thing we ask is that if you have a question, use
the Forum and if you have a business you want to promote, please use the
Business Search Engine. The ExplorOz Team looks forward to your feedback. | | Navigating | | | How to get the
best from ExplorOz.com | Are you finding
everything on the ExplorOz site that you're looking for?
It has come to our attention that SOME users don't really know how to "navigate" on ExplorOz.com which means you aren't seeing all the great things we have for you to read. Here's
some tips:
WEB BROWSERS
We find that many readers who are having trouble submitting or viewing the
site is to do with the version of your browser. The latest Internet
Explorer version is 5.5, but anything above version 5.0 will be fine. It will mean your computer can handle the code that runs our menus
and also submissions to the Forum/Trek Feedback etc. (TIP -
downloading browsers over the internet can be very slow, therefore costly.
Did you know most PC magazines have the latest browsers on the
complimentary CD that often comes with them? Look for these in your
newsagent, eg. PC World.)
MENUS
Now that you've got the right browser, you should have a blue strip across the top header of each page on ExplorOz.com. The white headings at the top are all topics you can navigate through. Run your mouse over the top of these white headings and you will notice there are also subheadings below most of them. You can then select a topic of interest and navigate to it easily.
The menu is the easiest way to navigate the site because it always stays at the top no matter what page you are on.
FOOTERS
If you are reading a page and have scrolled down to the bottom, you might prefer to use the footer navigation rather than go back up to the top menu navigation. Take a look next time you go to www.exploroz.com at the bottom of every page - there are links to all parts of the site. Just click and go!
FORUM
The forum is huge and is a valuable resource - to make navigation of the forum easier you should use FORUM SEARCH to find topics of interest. You can search by topic (eg. HF radio) or date.
MEMBERSHIP
Did you know that membership will allow you to set up a user profile that will personally advise you of changes and new items added to the site? This is done through a personalised home page built especially for you. You get a password to log on and direct links to all the new stuff. This is a great way to navigate the site if you want to keep up to date with the very latest!
Membership costs $30/year and entitles you to a number of rewards and
special discounts at various locations around Australia. For more
information see Member Rewards.
