Gday Stan,
When in doubt, Click on "home" to get back to the main board.
You can then re-enter the various Child boards (Trips, Technical, etc) from there and view all the "threads".
The easy way to upload images is the "Additional Options" link, just under the text box you type your post replies into. You can browse them in from your PC, but via this method, they can only be small (less than 500kb).
The best way to do an "everything" search is to return to the home board. If you quick search in a Child Board (Electrical, say for example) I think the search is only made in that Board. So if you search for a destination in electrical, you are unlikely to get a "hit"
Im sure If you sent a Personal Message to any of the moderators (or even me) about any queries you have a reply would be forthcoming. You send a PM by "clicking" on the Persons Name and then select "send personal message".
Cheers, Al.
