  1. Well that worked in part, the transcoding of the image is now gone, THANKS a lot. But doing this and clicking to open the image in another tab now adds a bunch of griberish in the URL. Yes the final name of the file is intact but the URL is so long that it's not as easy to spot the real filename for a beginner. (ok it does make it harder and maybe that is good after all But why do programmers have to always add all this random garbage in URLs, transcode everything or change formats, UserNames are unique, why have UserIDs with 50 random characters??? My daughter is studying Game Programming and they keep telling her to KISS, why does this go away ounce on the job is above me. Enough ranting and Thanks for the tip!!!
  2. I was right in the middle of a mystery cache that relies heavily on the image not being botched by stupid algorithms and that the file name stays intact, all of a sudden my page is not displaying my image anymore because I have a non secure server (HTTPS), then I try to host the image elsewhere and bamm, I get a message about not being allowed to host image on a third party website. hmmm, that's new!!! I find this thread and read up on the issue, so I see that Google Drive and Dropbox is ok, nice already have those setup, so Google drive is a no go because it botches the name of the file that I need, then I try Dropbox and the file is botched down and you can't even read the message hidden in the image. So I find a way to get it displayed without having it altered by using the domain "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/" that I beleive is part of the dropbox domains. But that gives me again the message about no third party hosting. Now I just depressed as heck after passing hours perfecting this mystery cache and not being able to publish it because of some stupid decision without consulting users before putting it in place! Anybody find a way to get past these problems with either of the official hosting sites???
  3. But if an answer has an accent and the person does not put the accent you will get a wrong answer. This will apply to languages that have accents of course like French, Spanish, etc.
  4. Here around Montreal, most all adventure labs have a bonus mystery cache also.
  5. I just recently started doing mystery caches and would love this feature to be implemented, corrected coords and icon color change. I often use my iPhone when I have a few extra minutes waiting for someone or something and use it to go hunt a few caches nearby. That being said, it would also be great to have corrected coordinates on the phone apps as well as different colored icons to know when checking out the list of close by caches the ones you already solved. Thank you for considering these changes.
