Do the reviewers use common sense
Delta68 replied to geekyninja's topic in United Kingdom and Ireland
This is impossible for reviewers to police though. I've seen Multis with physical stages listed as QTA stages to avoid proximity problems and it could no doubt be used to place a starting location in an otherwise prohibited area. Mark -
There is very little consistency amongst the reviewers. Our local reviewer is refusing to publish a series which is virtually identical to one which allowed by Lindinus just a few months ago.

Don't you just hate it when ?
Delta68 replied to Lorri-Ann & Kev's topic in United Kingdom and Ireland
It seems daft that there is no requirement on cache owners to post a note or anything on a Multi or Puzzle if they move the final location There ought to at least be an Updated Co-Ordinates marker if the final location gets moved Mark -
This is EXACTLY what I do, possibly because I'm coming from a programming background. The builder/text editor combination works for me so I haven't tried any of the other options. One of my earlier cartridges had nested IF statements and the builder kept putting in an extra 'end' so the builder would throw an error when reloading the file I wrote a simple Visual Basic app to remove these stray 'end' tags each time I needed to reload the lua file into the builder. I can live with that, a lot of people wouldn't be able to... Mark

Your best bet would be to ask the cache owner for help. Mark

I don't care who it is but starting off by moving posts isn't going to win friends! :mad:

[FEATURE] Allow to delete all image icons from cache page
Delta68 replied to BigFurryMonster's topic in Website
If you archive an unpublished cache it doesn't clutter up your private profile page either but it can still be used to hold images and post test logs test GM scripts etc Mark -
SUBMITTED (28997) - [FEATURE] Toggle ignore list on/off
Delta68 replied to GOF and Bacall's topic in Website
I have, of course, figured a work-around Creating a PQ from the Ignore List produces an empty PQ but the markers still show on the map as a layer It would still be nice to have a pukka way of toggling them on and off though Mark -

SUBMITTED (28997) - [FEATURE] Toggle ignore list on/off
Delta68 replied to GOF and Bacall's topic in Website
Most of the time I don't want to see caches which are on our ignore list. However, I would like the option to see them on the map. Thanks Mark -
Eh? Are you saying that you expect someone to ask you why you looked at their cache? I've never heard of that happening before! All our caches are PMO and don't care who looks at the cache pages and very rarely look at the audit log because it is of very little use. It shows who has looked at the actual cache page but doesn't show who has viewed the details via a PQ or on a phone etc I usually take ours off PMO once archived... Mark

I wouldn't call it a BUG, it's working as intended! Your is being interpreted as bbcode and converted to html It would be more usual to use curved brackets in that sort of situation (A+D-C)(B+C-D)(B)° (D-E)(E)(A) Mark

SUBMITTED (32064) - [BUG] Attended events not flagged in bookmark lists
Delta68 replied to Semper Questio's topic in Website
I'm guessing that it's all types of logs are ignored except 'Found It' Webcam 'Webcam Photo Taken' doesn't show either Mark -
This forum is for problems or suggestions regarding the geocaching.com website itself rather than individual caches. Anyway, try contacting chrishummeltal Mark

Why? Why are you so against anyone seeing that you showed an interest in their caches? Mark

Did you make it clear that teh problem was the saggy surround? We had an Etrex (not H) replaced due to a saggy rubber (free of charge) but the replacement was REALLY inaccurate and is now sitting in the desk somewhere. It is no use whatsoever for caching! Mrs D bought me a new Etrex H a couple of years ago but it 'broke' after being dropped from a railway bridge onto the trackbed below This time garmin wanted £30 to replace it The replacement was accurate enough but the buttons were nigh-on impossible to press so I sent it back again and received another replacement I use it all the time when caching and the surround is starting to sag again but I think I will just put up with it for a bit longer...

Pet hates when caching?
Delta68 replied to Harry the furry squid's topic in United Kingdom and Ireland
New pet hate: Cachers who put hint details in the description or put guff in the hint which ought to be in the description Our normal technique is: Arrive at GZ and have a quick look for cache if cache isn't immediately obvious check hint still no joy check previous logs for clues all else fails read the description We DNFed some at the weekend which have half a hint in the hint and some of the hint in the description. Patience wears a bit thin after a dozen DNFs So there! Mark -
This is one aspect which I really like and the reason why we try and do individual logs for every cache. I might see a cache mentioned on a forum or somewhere and if it's one we've found I'll have a look at our log to jog my memory We also include a find count on every log. I'm usually amazed when looking back at an old find to see that it was a few thousand caches ago! Mark

I can see why NON Premium Members would like to be able to distinguish between PMO and non PMO caches but this 'feature' is currently inconveniencing Premium Members for the benefit of non members That doesn't seem quite right somehow... Mark

"Corrected Co-ordinates" feature glitch
Delta68 replied to mellers's topic in United Kingdom and Ireland
Problems with the site ought to be posted HERE But before doing so you should read THIS The problem you describe is listed HERE Thanks Mark -
You have to tick the boxes whenever you edit a cache page It's not just when you submit a new one for review Also when you adopt a cache you have to tick boxes saying you take responsibility for it etc Just in case there's anyone who hasn't spotted the cache which the thread originally referred to it's: Tee Time?

Stat box for TB/Geocoin on public profile page
Delta68 replied to SatelliteStar's topic in United Kingdom and Ireland
It's a known problem -
In the early days it wasn't possible to temp disable a cache and caches used to get archived virtually on a whim by reviewers even after just one DNF! I have a list caches which were archived in this manner and it would be great to find out if they are actually still there or not. So far I have looked for one... ...and it wasn't! Mark
