Over 1 year now and the issue still persists. Any update?

I would suggest also change the single quotes to double quotes. Some browsers may be forgiving of the single quote, but likely HQ's sanitization process is treating the syntax much stricter. If it doesn't like the ' as the quoted value then it almost certainly won't be friendly to the bracket within. And it's just generally safer to escape the reserved characters like html brackets, as tungstene suggested to try.
Thanks for the suggestion, I did try double quotes, but it didn't help. Tungstène's suggestion did the trick though.

I can't test it for now but could you try >?
That worked. I had tried something like that but used incorrect syntax. Thanks!

I have so many things broken in my profile now. It is frustrating.
- Missing line feeds
- Some things centered that were left justified
- Some tables not properly rendered

I am having trouble with getting a > symbol into the image title attribute on my profile page. To simplify, I am trying something like the following for part of my profile page HTML:
<img src='../images/attributes/hike_short-yes.png' border='0' title='Short hike (<1 km)' height='40' width='40'> <img src='../images/attributes/hike_med-yes.png' border='0' title='Medium hike (1 km–10 km)' height='40' width='40'> <img src='../images/attributes/hike_long-yes.png' border='0' title='Long hike (>10 km)' height='40' width='40'>
However, if you look at the result this seems to make it think the > symbol is the end of the <img> tag. I checked using code like this in a regular HTML page and it worked fine so it seems to be something Groundspeak is doing rather than malformed html. I have even tried replacing the > with > but I get the same result. How can I get the > symbol in my image title attribute? This used to work until recently. -
When I go to User Routes and select the Create New Route tab and type in a name and click on Create Route I get an Error 500 which directs me to Twitter, but I am not a Twitter user and the page doesn't seem to have anything to do with support issues so I came here.

So almost three months later now. Any progress on a fix?

Message Center use to show emoji correctly (I usually press Win+; to get a list and pick one) but now it is either coming up as a small square or some kind of Asian character. It looks fine when I am typing them but once I hit send they change. The small snippet in the pane on the left that shows the first few characters of recent messages to different cachers does display correctly I have noticed.

If you go into your Settings then select Preferences, there's a checkbox right at the bottom that selects showing search results directly on the map.
If you uncheck that, you'll then get a list of caches a player owns on their profile which includes their archived caches.
Thanks!!! This is exactly what I needed!!

As far as I know, one cannot get archived caches on the map, period.
Well then that kind of stinks. I thought I used to be able to see a list of all of someone's hides even if those hides had been archived. Now, it only takes me to a map instead of giving me a list so then I would have no way of seeing the entire list. I am trying to do this to solve a puzzle cache that the user has that requires I check some information about old hidden caches of theirs which might have since been archived.

When I click on that user profile and then on all their hides I get a map of my home area. 👎
Thanks for verifying you can reproduce. I get the same, sort of. It zooms to my home area in the map but shows no caches in the list on the left.

You are doing nothing wrong it's because of the & in his username.
Good thought, that may be the issue. However, the URL does properly escape the & with %26. Also, I can get all their active hides on a map with this URL https://www.geocaching.com/play/map?lat=33.0449&lng=-95.4952&zoom=7&asc=true&sort=distance&hb=G%26N+Geocachers so it would seem the search should be possible. I just can't get any that are archived (i.e. the complete list).

It works for some users but not others. I am clicking on the All Geocache Hides link (https://www.geocaching.com/play/search?owner[0]=G%26N Geocachers&a=0&sort=PlaceDate&asc=False) for this user https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?guid=de91e6bf-de01-4a34-9202-e340f278c2bf&wid=1da28a7f-0860-47bc-b2a7-1e311b62cd0d&ds=2&tab=geocaches#profilepanel but the map just seems to hang and nothing ever comes up. I have tried it for some other users (including myself) and it seems to work fine. What am I doing wrong?

It's not a cache page, it's a cache list page. It makes perfect sense for it to have a link back to the source of the list. In fact, I'd claim it's just an oversight that the user name at the top of the page telling you where the list came from isn't a hyperlink.
For those of you suggesting "back": the time I want this link the most is when I've been pawing all over the list, forward and back, page after page, so it can be many, many pages back in my browser history to get to the user profile page. Like too far back for it to show up in the first page of the history list people are suggesting I pull up.
I admit this is a minor point, but as thebruce0 points out, the solution seems obvious and trivial. The user name's already there, all that's missing is a link behind it.
Thanks, this is exactly what I was referring to. I am very proficient in using a browser and know of all the ways mentioned by everyone to get back to where I came from. However, none of those methods is less clicks/key presses/taps/scrolls than having a simple link at the top of each page of the users' list to go back to that user's profile (or better yet, the Geocaches tab of the profile page). I have resorted to just opening the list in another tab (ctrl click the link) so that I preserve the users' profile main page geocaches tab in its own browser tab and closing the tab with the list once done perusing. Still, this method results in one more more click/tap/key press than if I simply had a link at the top of the list page.

When looking at a list of a user's found or hidden caches there is no link back to the user's profile page making it a pain to get back to their main page to look at something else, especially if you have clicked on a number of different pages in their cache list. There is a reference to the user's name at the top of each page but it is not a clickable link. I would like to see that changed to a clickable link back to the users main profile page or back to the Geocaches tab for that user.

Thanks Touchstone! This list does look complete and contains all announced souvenirs even ones that are in the near future like International EarthCache Day which starts tomorrow. Unfortunately, while for some it is obvious how to get them like state and country souvenirs, for others it is not so obvious how to get them or if their time has passed and there are not links to find out any more information on them. However, I have found that if I search Google for the souvenir name that I can generally find a page with more information though.

Is there anywhere that one can find a comprehensive list of available souvenirs including upcoming ones (such as earthcache day, etc.)?

I've tried 3 other API partner Android apps today and uninstalled all 3 already. For starters, they only work in portrait mode which I find unworkable on my table
Have you tried GCDroid yet? Any thoughts? It does work in landscape on my tablet.

I have seen more and more preforms listed as a small lately. I think this is mostly because small trade items can fit in a preform if the log doesn't take up too much space.

You should put this in the GPS Garage Sale forum here: GPS Garage Sale
-
What was the name of the cache you were looking for?
-
I don't think so. There are millions of caches so any list like that would be just too large to deal with.
-
Also, since you are using a unit designed for automotive navigation you will need to change the routing to off road when trying to go on a trail to a cache. You can find the manual for the unit at http://www.gpscentra...etpilot2730.pdf . Look at page 16 of the manual (page 24 of the pdf) or search for Off Road.

Are you looking to load maps into the unit or geocache locations?
Cache Locations
I am not sure if that unit supports cache information directly so you may have to load cache locations as 'points of interest'. I would try the Garmin poi loader here: http://www.garmin.com/us/maps/poiloader
Maps
You can get various maps for Garmin GPS units from GPSFileDepot for free as https://www.gpsfiledepot.com/ . There are instructions at https://www.gpsfiledepot.com/tutorials/how-to-load-maps-on-my-garmin-gps-unit/ on how to load the maps installed from that site to your Garmin via Garmin's map management software called Basecamp (I do this all the time with my handheld Vista Hcx)

Can't search for cache name starting with ///
in Website
Posted
I have some caches in my area that start with /// so I wanted to try to filter for them in a map search but it seems to ignore / characters in the filter Geoache Name Contains section. Is there a way for me to filter for these specific caches?
