Online Tools

• The Members only Home Page is accessed via a button only visible to logged-on Members. Subtle differences customise the page for individuals and Business Members. Once you have setup an auto-logon, this is the ideal page for Members to bookmark to make every visit to ExplorOz truly interactive and intuitive.


• Member Profile is a major feature of being a Member - this is a page that you build to showcase yourself (or your business) and where people can contact you via the information you choose to display. Others can also view your Blog and Photo Gallery here. Personal Members will have a section "About Me" and their Member Statistics and two photos. Business Members will have a section showing their "Directory Listing Text" to promote their products and services, along with a street map, their logo, contact details and a link to the business website. All Members can edit their Profile page to show as much or as little information as they wish.


• Member Messages - this is a web-based instant messaging system that does not use email. Designed for one to one message exchanges between Members only. Ideal for personal chit-chat or for exchanging information in a secure environment.


• Blogs - all Members have a personal Blog account - a web hosted url for you to publish travel journals, files, thoughts, experiences and just about anything you want to say in public that is inappropriate for the Forum. Interaction between you and your readers is managed via a comment system (Members only).


• Members Gallery will store 24 images at any one time in your Profile.


• Members Trips & Gatherings is an online facility for Members to coordinate a group of people together for a trip or gathering anywhere in Australia. Auto-promoted in the Forum, and organising Member can upload a trip report and photos.
