In case this thread is watched by the devs - in the drop-down, please add counts of Best stories, resp. Most helpful logs so one does not have to blindly select both options to see whether it filters out some logs. Like this:
Newest
Best story (2)
Most helpful (0)
Why increase the load of the server if it's not necessary...
By the way, it would be even better if it was displayed as a RADIO button instead of SELECT box. The information would be directly visible and we wouldn't have to open the drop-down at all.

I can see my selections on the logging page again. Thank you!

Wet Pancake Touring Club: all we know about this feature is here - FAQ: Log upvotes.
In short: no upvoters list. No notifications. It is a simple "like" count so far.

I know I will make someone mad by posting this, but if this voting feature is implemented my future logs are likely to be this:
.
I've checked a couple of your recently found caches and realized that you like to share nice stories with the world. I am quite puzzled as to why you would stop doing that just because you might be given "Great story" or "Helpful" on them... But I respect such a decision.

just saw this awful new element: the ability to vote on someone's log as a 'great story' or 'helpful' - this is really crappy i think - logs are not competitions or sources for other people's entertainment or education - i don't write my logs for others beyond being respectful not to swear or post spoilers
Why awful? My log can get nothing (as it is today) or earn one of these "Great story" or "Helpful" points. As long as these are positive points only I don't see how anyone could have problems with them.
By the way, you post your logs to a public cache page, everyone can read them (even not-logged-in visitors!) so you actually DO write your logs for others as well...
I will only appreciate if this triggers competing regarding better logs - many of them today are a "TFTC" ones or those long copy'n'paste whole-trip-descriptive ones (this type is on the rise). Cachers sure may continue writing them, no problem, and they will continue not getting these new FPs for them, no problem. But some write nice unique stories and I would like to be able to easily get to them even if they are burried under tons of junk over time.
Also from a cache owner's perspective: this can become a useful tool for me to easily check for spoilers on my caches if people tag such logs as "Helpful".

FF 62.0 x64 on Windows 7.
I confirm thebruce0 investigation - I press CTRL + A, the selection has been made but not highlighted. Then I click into the address box and voila - the highlighting appears.

Hello, anyone from the support team listening ? Please disable this feature, it's still there!
-
Please deactivate CSS ::selection pseudo element with {text-shadow: none;} on logging page, it is higly inconvenient to make a selection without actually seeing it.

GDPR is about personal information, not public posts and their "likes".
I do not think these new log FPs will be problematic as long as default log order stays at post time.

I use Vanquest Trident-31 for one-day caching trips as well as for everyday carry. I like its numerous compartments where all of my geocaching tools found its place.

The best I read went something like, "There were children and parents in the playground; I didn't care, I walked over, extracted the cache in front of them, signed, put the cache back and walked off. Hate caches in playgrounds."
The CO should reply to this the only way: "Then ignore them!"

This is a reason that geocaches should not be allowed to be hidden in or near children's playgrounds.
Sure. Many moms with little children are geocachers. Why should they be able to find geocaches while safely watching their kids playing on the playground, right?
I believe it's criminals who should not be allowed near playgrounds, not caches.

Your first logs are fine, much better than mine.

Then the reviewer comes into action, after a month being disabled.
Show me how that happened with https://coord.info/GC4Z1Z4 or https://coord.info/GC4Z1ZX
That is my another two cents for What steps can Geocaching HQ take to improve geocache quality? - communicate with reviewers and try to shorten the Disabled states to 1 month. OK, no problem with 3 months. But 8? Both caches were disabled due to a lack of the owner's maintenance.

The A-team's list is nearly perfect. I would add for the HQ's side:
- finally do something with long-time set NM attributes - nag screen on the dashboard for example so the CO's know about them (this actually falls within A-team's "Encourage and/or incentivize CO cache maintenance")
-
Apparently it would be best to leave it as it is:
- default sorting on "Newest"
- not make it sticky so people don't miss latest logs with essential info
Those who are not interested in this feature will not have to do anything, they can scroll down as before and see the logs in date-order. Those who are can use the sorting function. No harm for anyone. Well, except psychoanalyst's cases.

I have noticed that 3 out of the 5 new forum post reactions disappear when I refresh the page. They're the "Funny", "Surprised" and "Love" types. The other two ("Upvote" and "Helpful") are kept.

- Those who don't want their logs judged in any way, and have been given no way to opt out, will choose not to log online. This will deprive the community of the description of their experience and any feedback they may have about the cache.
There sure will be such people. But I guess more people stop logging everyday because they die.

Well, if someone judges my logs in the future he will be able to do so positively only. I don't have problems with that.

Actually, sorting by "Most helpful" might be a useful tool for CO's to check for spoilers once in a while.
-
I like the "Great story" button and would sure use it a lot for nice logs. But how do you guys understand the "Helpful" one?
-
Thank you! I thought it was visible only for users in Norway but it is actually norwegian caches that this new functionality is being tested on.

thomfre: could you provide a larger screeshot?

I log DNF's as usual and encourage others to do that as well, including on my caches. I even noticed that amount of posted DNF's in my area has been rising recently.

The website has stopped displaying image descriptions - they're not shown in logs and user galleries. I describe every image uploaded. Only images uploaded via the old form with name entered instead of description have the name displayed.
