  1. The Guidelines say 'yes' but it's up to the reviewer really. (or Groundspeak if you decide to appeal) There are some older Multis which have stages spanning the world Mark
  2. Back to the OP's original question. Is this the sort of cache that you personally would like to do? I suspect that once it's been found by a few local cachers no one else would bother attempting it Mark [Edited for spelling]
  3. The Guidelines state: However, I know from experience that just because the Guidelines say something it's not necessarily what they mean Mark
  4. I didn't think temporary caches were allowed! http://coord.info/GC3BGD6 Will the CO get 'black listed'? I doubt it Mark
  5. I'm getting the feeling that no one really cares... Reviewers used to have celebrity status, now they are just people doing a job that no one else wants to do.... Mark
  6. We went to Edinburgh for a day last year and did the excellent Edinburgh's Royal Mile (be sure to take a print out if you normally go paperless as there is sooo much to read) and Wolfing it in the West End webcam Mark
  7. After having alook through our finds there's quite a few whose names make sense once at GZ but very few whose names are amusing it their own right Some of the names of the caches on Rodz's WTF series are totally whacky eg: GC17PK4 and GC17PK4 Mark
  8. I think there is a parallel actually Whether you set Multi, a Puzzle or an Event surely it's not too much to ask others to participate as CO intended? M
  9. This is a gripe of mine as well! There were cachers who 'attended' Piratemania last year by just turning up on the Sunday Their numbers didn't count towards Mega Status because that was strictly 'Saturday only' but they did still get the relatively rare Mega Icon to which they contributed nothing! Mark
  10. We have, but they are all our own! Mark
  11. Why? A UK cacher asking a question to the UK caching community about a TB picked up in the UK Protocol might be different in different parts of the world...
  12. I had Meindl boots a few years ago, seem to remember they were over £100 and I couldn't get on with them, they weren't right for my feet but were waterproof. Next pair were Merrell and they were so comfortable and ideal for my over-pronation problem. The only problem with them is that they never seem to be 100% waterproof as they claim to be. I took the first pair back and they were happy to exhange them, then the next pair did the same, exchanged them again and they were ok for a while but then started letting in water again. I've just had another pair and managed to get some online for £60 (Black price £120) as my old ones wore out. My daughter is on her second pair of Berghaus boots and has never had a problem with the leaking and the cost was around £80 I think. I was tempted to go for some Berghaus but as I find Merrell so comfortable I'm reluctant to change. The way I get round the problem is to make sure I keep them very clean and use conditioning cleaner and proofing spray regularly. Mark has had Karrimor boots from Blacks for the last couple of pairs and as far as I know hasn't had a problem with them leaking. Donna
  13. My guess is that it won't ever happen If it was removed there would be no end of complaints and threats to cancel Premium Membership and/or perform Flaming Geocide etc In the meantime, you might as well just add yet another ABP filter geocaching.com#div(id^=ctl00_divBreadcrumbs) Mark
  14. Sure! Here it is: http://www.Wherigo.com/cartridge/details.aspx?CGUID=80927e16-2264-4b86-94bd-a8a903e0254e Thanks
  15. I just tried mine. It's better but "Nothing available" is still happening I've got two items which become visible OnProximity to the zone Proximity is set at 50 feet Zone is 50 feet square (ish) With the Oregon and the Pocket PC players, the commands on the items work as soon as the items become visible. On the iPhone (3G) the commands only work once I'm inside the zone It seems to detect the zones better with version 316 but it still doesn't work as well as the Oregon or the Pocket PC Why don't I have bigger zones? I hear you ask. Well, each of the zones contains a physical cache as well so I want to keep the zones small in order to maintain accuracy for finding the actual cache. The OnProximty commands are to show a hint etc on approach to each cache Thanks Mark
  16. Same here! There must be something seriously wrong with a website where the adverts are less annoying than the site's own features! :blink:
  17. Use Adblock Plus filters (see my post above) I don't expect Groundspeak will reverse the change because it's not a bug Mark
  18. Don't fight it... install AdBlock Plus and you can hide all the other unwanted stuff as well - Facebook links, Challenges, Cachers' trackables and finds stats etc..
  19. This certainly wasn't one of our use case scenarios. I had very similar thoughts myself - my wife can see that I haven't been working as hard as I claim to have been! I don't like the feature one bit (and have ABPed it) but I'd have thought it would have made more sense to use cookies or something to maintain a list Mark
  20. EEK! I only just realised 'Recently Viewed Caches' is on the private profile page! What a pointless addition!! Looks like YET another Adblock filter is required... Mark
  21. I suggested an improvement to the Events page back in November and is sank like a lead balloon http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=285160 I don't care anymore I use my GreaseMoneky Script and it does what I want (usually) Very few suggestions get implemented or 'enhancements' reversed so I have have given up suggesting any and I use a load GM Script, Adblock filters and Stylish thingys to make the site usable Mark
  22. They can be at the posted co-ordinates! The Unknown/Mystery aspect could be because something else required to access the cache eg find a key which is on a travel bug in order to unlock the cache Requiring special equipment to reach an other wise traditional cache wouldn't make it an Unknown/Mystery though... Mark
  23. The two best Multis of this type we have ever done have been adopted over to other cachers who have totally ruined them by adding power trails round them 'to encourage more cachers to do the Multi' I'd rather see a cache archived - no matter how good it was - than receive that sort of treatment!
