  1. Touch pad, which has a right and left click area, but not a middle click (maybe windows has a special setting for that). But yeah, right click should totally not be hijacked and I don't want to stay in the same tab.
  2. sigh. Annoyingly, the screen cap looks clearer and seems to have more contrast than the actual thing.
  3. I don't have a mouse, thus no middle click. And when I do right-click I don't get the choice to open a link in a new tab unfortunately.
  4. See the page navigation in this forum. It's hardly usable as it totally lacks contrast. Firefox latest version, Win11.
  5. Bringing this up again, because it's super annoying. I click on a link in a cache listing for further info, and the link ONLY opens in the same browser tab. This is so not done in 2023. Why?
  6. This just needs to be a 20km Wherigo hike with super difficult tasks. And not reverse
  7. Yeah, I know what you mean. I've never looked at cruises, but see some interesting last-minute package deals every now and then. Run the calculation, and the trip suddenly doubles in price. Flight can't get more expensive, regardless of one or two people traveling. So this must all be due to the hotel. Ho hum...
  8. Switzerland on a budget.. ehm.. forget about it. I mean, a burger for 20 Euro without side is steep. A grilled sausage for a similar price: Yikes! I did manage to stay within (just about) 120 Euro for two full days food, transport, sightseeing, local sim card plus food for the long busride home the third. Here I bought food at a supermarket the evening before, just before closing time. Ok, I went over because I needed emergency socks and shoes. Was hit by a thunderstorm and torrential rains and sought shelter on a house wall. And then the gutter above burst and I found myself underneath a waterfall. But I needed new socks anyway (H&M is more expensive than here) and found simple Converse-like shoes on offer that are even comfy. Also got 15 caches. So that leaves 12 caching country in Europe I've not been to.
  9. So here's a trip to see whether it's possible to visit Switzerland on a budget. From northerly Germany, mind. I have time, thus why not. But return trip is 80 Euro (2x12hrs, but the bus is fairly empty and I have two seats for myself). Few nights in a 3-bed dorm. Probably the most expensive hostel I ever stayed at, but still ok at 60 Euro/night. I'm close to the Swiss border now thus I'll be dependent on slow bus wifi in a moment. Lets see how much everything is in the end (no, not going to eat the 'cheap' burger for 20sfr but something decent). Oh, and a new caching country. Theme: new country on a budget
  10. I don't think filtering by attribute was a thing back then. This only became available in the last few years with the new search if my memory serves me right. This would not work with project-gc either unless one has a premium account and creates a custom search query via virtual gps. The only way I see this work is to download a gpx/use a database link and then work the data with GSAK.
  11. So what exactly are you after? Once we know that we could possibly help you achieve it.
  12. Use project-gc.com (an official AP partner) to find caches. Yes, there's also a premium functionality, but searching is cool.
  13. Which app are you using? The official app? Cachly?
  14. Oh yeah, ignoring it. I don't feel like starting a fight with a CO. Just curious. I thought cachers were free to contact COs in any way they prefer but for some reason have problems finding the right rules on the website. That's why I'm asking.
  15. I wonder whether Virtuals with the instructions to send answers to answer1.answer2.answer3@gmail.com are allowed, with the caveat that logs will be deleted if this method is not chosen? I know I don't need to do those, but I wonder what GS thinks. Thinking along the lines of how CO would handle and store private information (my email). Looking at this from European and GDPR perspective.
  16. Cool! Congratulations on an unexpected new country!
  17. I'm currently considering (very tentatively) a trip to Zurich by bus. I currently have the time, I know I won't be able to get Switzerland on my map any cheaper (accommodation is just so expensive) and I'm so annoyed sitting home. Just not sure I should be sitting in a bus for so long. Well, maybe...
  18. Interesting! Then this must have been introduced after I did this last time, some 9 days ago. Because I wrote drafts on a plane, attached images, and then sent them once on the ground. My only difference was Send Now to = false
  19. It does work with cachly, thus I guess it's a problem of the official app rather than the website. Or with how the apps interface with the website.
  20. Mostly nice rocks. My current pet rock is a very nice piece of serpentinite. My favourite caches are ECs. Go figure.
  21. Back from Egypt. If I manage to log all ECs I visited I will have found 7 caches in total. Have to say that Egypt was probably the most difficult country I ever traveled to. I could not walk 10 steps without someone offering their services, or wants to take a photo of me for a tip. And then there's the customs officer at the airport who tried to rid me of my sim card and remaining Egyptian money on the way out. Phew. Now I really need a vacation. But I wanted to visit Luxor for so long, and now I spent two days there (still so much left to see). Despite all, I will be back
  22. Seems to be fixed now, as is the google map here:
  23. Yep. I just wish the selection would stick and I'd not always return to the (rather rubbish, e.g. lacking detail) geocaching OSM map.
