Nothing easier than that! 1. First be sure that you know exactly how the place is written 2. Try to locate it inside the upload form. We have almost 3 million names listed. The chance that yours is there is pretty high. Make sure that you loop through all the results (notice the numbers and forward arrows underneath the results) 3. If you place is not listed. Click on the blue button on the right "Add GLOBO land - suggest a new place". 4. Fill in the required details to the form 5. Once the request is processed you will be informed by e-mail and you can find your new place inside GLOBO. Finally if you have suggested a place, it will be your GLOBO land - because you discovered it in a way. The place is then listed in your activities page on your member travel site.

Sometimes, however, there is a reply that a place has been added coupled with rather a sharp reproof for 'wrong' spelling. That seems entirely appropriate when there has been carelessness - as when I put Barveau instead of Barvaux [actually the replies from you on that occasion were more courteous and friendly than I deserved.] However when I put in Rum, an island off Scotland, I received the standard sharp rebuke. I assumed you must have wanted the older spelling 'Rhum.' It would never have occurred to me that it should have been 'Rum Island'. It might be friendlier to new members if the reply said [keeping with this example] ‘Thank you for your suggestion of Rum. We have entered it – but under the name of Rum Island. We should be grateful if you adopt this formula in future.’ Cheers, David --- Grieve not for that which you cannot do but rejoice in that which you can.

As a result am unable to send or add my suggestion! I have already reported this error in the Asia/Oceanic forum and the Error reporting forum. Am waiting eagerly for the amendemnts to be made so I can put up my reports and photos of the lovely city of Margao in the state (province) of Goa in India.

If I want to add a report, I don't know if the named place is a city or an island (for instance in the 'Rodos' Island there is the 'Rodos' city). Also for the destination guide, the place is always a city or can be an island? For 'Greece' I can see 'Rodos' and 'Lindos', but 'Lindos' is a city of 'Rodos' Island. The place 'Rodos' is the city of 'Rodos' or the 'Rodos' Island'? Can I publish a report on the 'Rodos' Island under 'Rodos' place or have I to publish a report for 'Rodos' city under 'Rodos' place and one for 'Lindos' under 'Lindos' place?

Tomah botanic gardens where this other road leads to.. good luck in finding where i was already :) ps in finding places or locations the best is australian website 'whereis' just type in and that's it. and maybe someone can add TOWN or VILLAGE as a suggested locations, sometimes i wouldn't call 1000 people's settlement a City,it's just not right,,, thank You for great job done so far. martin :) --- martin7 at redbubble , , , also dobrezyczenia dot com :) Reply    Reply with quote    Contact maehof
