Right now gache pages load very slowly, Chrome console shows that some JPGs (map tiles and/or avatars) are pending forever. Sometimes scripts are pending. server=web02; build: web.hotfix_20130917.3

Secret logs are a great idea, and also viewing the logs you've sent. But editing the replies and maintenance reports and so on afterwards is not a good idea. If the CO has taken an action based on a secret log, this log should not be changed.

Just out of curiosity, how can you get the published date from the website? Only way I can think of is to look at the published log, but that's not very practical. Is there an easier way?

Some email clients allow you to set up rules, which e.g. allow you to send emails with [LOG] in the subject field into a specific folder. At least Thunderbird does, so did Outlook (when I used it years ago).

There are two caches in my neighborhood that are winter ONLY. Both involve swimming in icy water (a hole made into the ice to allow swimming during the winter). They are multi-caches, and the first point in the lake is removed when the water gets too warm for the challenge . I logged on of them, but couldn't find the other, BRRRR Yes! So it is possible to make a cache winter only. Could I Have the link/GC code to one of them? Here you are: http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC2Q5DQ_ice-swimming-at-lake-bodom

I'm trying to view the image gallery of a Cito. Each picture takes minutes to load Also the avatars are again scrambled and it ain't weekend, yet!

Thank you fi67 and BruceS for the info. It's good to know, that I should've received the explanation and sad that a bug prevented it.

Hi! I'm a newbie in proposing new waymarks. I recently tried a couple, one is still waiting for review. The other one was declined after a lengthy voting period. I noticed it by looking at the waymark's description. I think it is rather rude to decline without offering any reasons, either in an automatic email(?) or a personal mail. Is this kind of a notification a standard procedure, when a waymark publication is declined. I don't want to learn blindly by just submitting waymarks until I reach the required level. I need feedback to become a proficient waymatker!

I just checked and I can see the pen in a mystery cache listing. Not in a traditional cache (as usual).

This far your message sounds interesting. I'm not quite sure of the rest? I'm sure that if you polled every (or even most of) new idea(s) with the community, you would get plenty of feedback before the actual implementation. Of course, there's a risk of change resistance that would put a halt to progress, but I believe that a benign dictatorship could filter the feedback to concentrate the development effort on the most beneficial ideas. But I hope this is an effort to start (again) listening to your subjects.

The last update today/yesterday did not fix this. The "last found date" is still the date of the log that was last entered, not the date, when the cache was last found. This messes up my evaluation of caches to hunt based on the last found date. E.g. today I encountered a cache that indicates last found on Aug 5th 2008, although it should be Jan 1st 2013. The old log says "some forgotten fieldnotes, logging late"

Thanks a lot! I am trying to get it published under "Ginormous Everyday Objects", but the height is a bit questionable, the dartboards height would be OK, but it is lying down flat on the ground. Here's a shot (copyrighted, so I can't use it) Dartboard

Thanks for the answers. I'll try to find a suitable existing category. The roundabout is newly decorated, couldn't find the darts from satellite images nor streetview.

There are some interesting 'decorations' in the middle of some roundabouts (at least in Finland). One example is a dartboard design with 5 darts sticking out from the board that is actually the roundabout. If such a category already exists, pls tell me!

Yep, and the link to "Logged on" is working

What a coincidence: Just last night I watched the rerun where USS Enterprise meets the Borg ship the first time. On topic, I would also be grateful if I could read AND understand the cache description (and logs). All of my caches have at least a short English translation. But I have to confess that I mostly log in Finnish (in Finland).

Diese ist kein Bug aber ein "Feature". Basic Membern haben immer Premium Caches loggen können. Aber sie kann nicht die Cache Beschreibung sehen. Sehe das Diskussion (auf English) link Pardon my Deutsch

Same problem. And if I try to use the logbook, it says "No logs found" ? Chrome, Win7, the cache in question is http://coord.info/GC4DTV8

The link to your found log is still missing from next to the big smiley "Found It"!

I'm seeing this "Server: WEB21; Build: Web.HotFix_20130531.2" on an individual cache page. Are you sure you're not looking at cached page? (no pun intended) It wasn't an old page ("Your Profile") showing a find from today (June 3rd). The server(s) seemed to go offline (map publes stoped working, now I, too, see WEB20; Build: Web.HotFix_20130531.2

Has the May 30th update been withdrawn? I get the following "signature" on the web pages: "Server: WEB14; Build: Web.HotFix_20130514.1"

Fixed it for ya. To address the OP, for the 2,000,000th, they planned ahead of time to capture which specific cache was the first to be the 2,000,000th. I'm assuming they did some programming on the back-end to tell them exactly when the database held 2,000,000 caches. They didn't do this for the 1,000,000th, which would mean they'd have to figure out which one it was after-the-fact. With so many publishes and archives, it makes it very difficult to go back and figure out exactly which one it was. I'm sure they have enough data to do it, but it would be a bit painful to do... I think it could be figured out using the LUID numbers of publish, archive, retract and re-publish logs. Probably not painful but futile

The login problem still persist. I'll try it with some other browser, if my phone can handle one. About the metric/imperial selection, isn't this unnecessary? When I'm logged in, I think that Waymarking site sends the distances with the correct units on the waymark listing page. Couldn't your site pick km/mi from the list and use that as the metric/imperial setting throughout?

Over here in Finland it is customary to sign at the bottom/back of the log book and claim a FBA (Found Before Approval). It is considered polite to let the FTF log first on the web.
