  1. I thought about that. It will require a message to the developers to make sure they become aware of the new type. I can then do the name change. TIA, great idea&job.
  2. Spelling out the months would be a problem for those users/countries where the months have different names than our traditional (latin) ones.
  3. Wrong, it's not "their" standards, but "ours". And the USA are of course part of this system - the internationals standards are also appliccable over (t)here. USA as Member Body of ISO You must have missed the concept of "standards". They do not describe a majority usage, but the form that is recommended to use.
  4. Trying to view a log coming from an external link I get following error message:
  5. ISO standards also say that distance is measured in meters, A4 is a paper size and first day of the week is monday. Why would this site care about international standards in formatting dates? 'Cause like with paper formats, distances, weekdays it's the generally accepted principles. Maybe not in the USA, but that's their problem, not the world's. :unsure: Or, to put it differently: because this website claims to be international ("The Official Global GPS Cache Hunt Site"), nothing less. (no emoticons) BS/2
  6. Für mich bitte DD.MM.YYYY oder YYYYMMDD (and metric data on distances).
  7. Good to hear, thx. Just let me know in case you might need additional screenshots...
  8. No, it isn't. The font size on the "my" page has been reduced to less than it was originally. Unfortunately it is now visibly smaller than the other standard text fonts the pages use (Opera 8.51, but that shouldn't matter). Please have another look into this. BalkanSabranje
  9. You might not have meant the programming on the gc-"owned" pages, but its possibly true for this one as well: http://www.geocaching.com/my/ The other standard pages display just fine (like before the changes).
  10. Looks like you're doomed to hell. No, seriously - off into the next trash bin with it.
  11. I haven't been able to use the link "log in to log your visit" on this cache page. All I get is the error message: "You need to be logged in to post a log for this listing." (ah - I should have known that when trying to log in). Any hints? TIA, BS/2
  12. Slideshow? I am not aware of such a HTML command...
  13. http://www.geocaching.com/email/ (On your "my" page, right-hand frame)
  14. Any news on when this will be realized? TIA, BalkanSabranje
  15. Well, tobsas, I have read your posting and - as the OP - I can assure you that it was perfectly on topic. I don't quite see why it seems to be impossible to discuss this topic. I will therefore close this topic. BS/2
  16. Reads like a temper-tantrum to me. Reads like a misquote to me.
  17. Pardon me - I did ask the forum users here, 'cause they are the ones usually taking advantage of Buxley's. Plus, he doesn't have a forum.
  18. Over here, you have to have your driving licence with you while driving. Over here, it is legal to not have any ID with you; still - you have to prove who you are, which makes it necessary to carry some sort of ID with you (yeah, call it bureaucracy). I usually have most of my cards plus driving licence and personal ID with me. No cash though, mostly.
  19. Not quite, since a.) not everyone wants to install additional SW just to find a cache and b.) Google Earth is not available for any serious operating software, but just for MS.
  20. This accuracy will not be available for free. Plus: it will be metric.
  21. Sure, but the growth rate of hidden caches is definitely decreasing over here (sort of saturation, nudge, nudge). Detailed figures separated for caches found/placed: http://geocaching.rockus.org/caches_rates.html
  22. Buxley's doesn't show GC-caches anymore (again). Anyone who has an idea why this is the case? TIA, BS/2
