    Html issue

    That's uncalled for! What's the possibility to make an error with a simple <br>? What I've noticed, the listings seem to contain <br />, FF flags these as bad html, but they do the job of breaking the line.
  2. But what if Dirttalked changes the boolean values to True/False: <car model>Runabout</car model> <left door>True</left door> <right door>False</right door> </car> Then even the most diligent XML parser would provide no sensible data. In real life "Unknown" was changed to "Mystery/Puzzle" in element <Groundspeak:type>Mystery/Puzzle Cache</Groundspeak:type>
  3. I was waiting for this response. Re-read the post. I didn't complain about making design changes nor the compliancy to XML. I complained about the lack of communication of these changes to their partners. Delivery of the PQs without the use of email is a new feature provided by GS. Without knowing how the programming is done, small tweaks now affect the usage of the product that was designed to take advantage of it. Future revenue streaming from other companies that may want to jump in and do the same thing can be affected. Again, it was about simple lines of communication. I agree, it would have been nice to know that "Unknown" is changed to "Mystery/puzzle". This has nothing to do with XML parsing, it is about how cache types are coded.
  4. Send to GPX is broken? Is "1728: GPX files: need attributes" to blame? I get: 500 - Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed. from: http://www.geocaching.com/error/error.aspx.../sendtogps.aspx
  5. With a lot of smileys: That sounds like a good candidate for "famous last words"
  6. I believe the slogan was "Elias for president"
  7. I reported this html error on Aug 28th
  8. Jos 'a' viittaa kohtaan 9: 9. Tutkimukset, gallupit ja mielipidekyselyt eivät yleensä ole sallittuja foorumilla. 9. We generally do not allow surveys to be conducted using this forum. niin minusta tämä kieltää esim äänestyksen järjestämisen foorumilla, mutta ei kiellä mainitsemasta linkkiä, jossa voi käydä äänestämässä.
  9. This might be related to the issue I brought up No TBs listed.... I haven't tried Chrome, but Firefox and IE8 behave the same, no TBs listed on the print page. I'm running XP.
  10. Just tried out the hint in another thread to see what you get with the printed listing. (I know, not as good as the .pdf ) The print out does not show the travelbugs or geocoins at all. When I checked the html source I (actually Firefox) noticed an error: img src="http://www.geocaching.com/images/wpttypes/sm/21.gif" alt=" /> The alt=string is corrupt, the closing quote (") is missing! This seems to be systematic with several caches that I tried.
  11. GC1WECA seems to be availble (at July 4th 21:45 GMT) You can test it by trying to access the cache (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC1WECA) If the response is "Cache is Unpublished" then the code is free, in case of "An Error Has Occurred. Sorry, you cannot view this cache listing until it has been published." the code is taken, but has not been published by a reviewer. This is just my interpretation of things. Anyhow, it'll be hard to reserve a listing code at the right moment. Be prepared to reserve a lot of them! Here might be an idea for GS to provide ($ell) special cache codes for a modest price.
  12. The "zoom to adress" function hasn't worked for a long time (months) for me with WinXP and Firefox. If I open the map via a link on a cache listing and NEVER touch the "zoom to adress" box, then the Googlemap works, caches are updated, the map can be zoomed and moved.
  13. A bit off-topic (and might be a known problem). Anyhow, I'm not able to enter more than 6 characters in the input box "Visit another travel bug:" on the url: http://www.geocaching.com/track/log.aspx?LUID=xxx.... And there are bugs with id like TB12345.
  14. Please DON'T fix the LINK. The quick view is the most used target. If anything, change the name back to "My account"
  15. I was looking around to find if someone had already complained, but only found this. Since Sunday's update the site has become sluggish. I have not changed anything with my ISP, so I believe it has something to do with the update. Almost all pages seem to load slower than before, most annoyingly, the gache descriptions! PS The forum does not like complaints PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 45 seconds exceeded in E:\Inetpub\forums\GC\ips_kernel\class_db_mysql.php on line 457 PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 45 seconds exceeded in E:\Inetpub\forums\GC\sources\ipsclass.php on line 1111

  17. All problems (/My/ not working, Seek nearest, no entries in recent logs, etc) seem to relate to the following error: View a Cache Log System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Geocaching.UI.LogBookPanel.ShowCountryState(Int64 StateID, Int64 CountryID) at Geocaching.UI.LogBookPanel.ShowViewLogInfo() at Geocaching.UI.LogBookPanel.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) This error is probably caused by the removal of provinces in Finland last nite. The "bad" cache listings contain "In none, Finland" Will this be fixed or do we have to start removing the erroneous provinces from the listings manually?
  18. Please try again in a few minutes. We are currently performing a site hotfix. It's been a few hours ??? /My/ can't be accessed and seek/nearest.aspx?country_id=72 (Finland) doesn't work. Other searches seem to work.
  19. What down this time? (I've learned the jargon Can't access /MY/ page at all? Is it because the states/provinces in Finland were removed? And accidentally all citizens thereof
  20. It was workin for a while last nite, this morning it's broken again? (My tz is UMT+2) What's up?
  21. When I click on "Find newest in Finland" it takes me to the advanced search page instead of showing the first 20 newest caches in Finland. Is there a good reason for this change? If not, I would prefer the previous behaviour, thanks. Edit: I'm talking about the shortcut (link) on my /My/ page. Yes, it works with an extra click (what a waste .
  22. Hi! When I click "List newest in Finland" on /my/ page, it doesn't work! An hour ago it showed the advanced search dialogue, now it just keeps loading? Or actually "Your request has resulted in an error." What's up?
  23. Hey, that's a usefull trick! Thanks for pointing it out! Btw the background pics started to show on the same computer without any configuration changes from my side. So it must have been a temporary clitch somewhere along the chain. stebu
  24. Today I was contacted by a fellow cacher who asked me to help with his cache description. He couldn't get the background picture displayed. When I went to see how I had managed to do that, I noticed that on all my caches the background picture had vanished! Should I change something in the description or is this just a temporary hickup?
  25. Jos saat sen toimimaan, niin kerro ihmeessä. Latasin Wherigo playerin Acer e 310 (WinCE 5.0) masinaan, mutta käynnistettyäni sen, se herjasi jotain, että NET softani oli liian vanha.
