Introducing the new OzLeisure.com.au forums


Communication is a wonderful thing, and being able to chat with like-minded people makes for the easy exchange of ideas and views, and is a great opportunity to build a network of contacts. Until now, the OzLeisure.com.au website has been more of a one-way street, with the information coming to you from the site, but no more ... with the new OzLeisure.com.au forums, you now have the chance to turn that into a two-way conversation. There are dozens of forum topics all conveniently split up into general categories, and they are free for anyone to use. If there is something on your mind, like a new idea, something you would like to see changed, see more of, less of, whatever - here is your chance to let everyone know. Even if you just want a place to rant about the price of fuel, you'll find an existing topic for that too.

Check out the forums here: http://forums.ozleisure.com.au

We would welcome your input

Your chance to shape the future of the OzLeisure.com.au website


** This topic is carried over from last month as email difficulties meant that some people did not receive last month's newsletter **
It's been a couple of years now since we last gave the OzLeisure.com.au website a complete make-over ... we have been adding new bits here and there, but it has essentially stayed the same for almost two years, so it is about time that we got to giving everything a new lick of paint, and some additional and modified functionality. The last time we did this (September 2006), the changes were very well received, and has attracted thousands of new visitors, more activities, more events and everything that you all want from the OzLeiusire.com.au website.

That's what the site is all about really; it's what YOU want. After all, without users and visitors like you, the site would be a complete waste of time. So, we are looking to get a handle on what you would like to see from the new look OzLeisure.com.au website when it comes along in the spring time, please let us know what you think ... if you want more of something, less of something, none of something, a different way of finding stuff, anything you like really. We are open to all suggestions, and every single one will be looked at by the team here. If a feature or change receives enough votes and/or comments then we will get it changed, built or removed. You get to call the shots.

We won't be able to respond to individual comments as there may well be thousands of them that come, but we will read all of them, so just tell us what you think, and what you want to see.

It's easy, just Drop us an e-mail to info@ozleisure.com.au ... it'll take no more than a couple of minutes of your time, and if we are able to implement your comment or suggestion(s) it will be online for everyone to see.
