  1. Me too - Windows Vista has different directories so I solved the 'blue spot' problem it by editing the memory.txt and gsak.ini files in main GSAK directory.

     

    The GSAK installation is at C:\GSAK\ instead of C:\Program Files\GSAK and 'My Documents' has changed from C:\Documents and Settings\.......\My Documents\ to C:\Users\.........\Documents\

     

    It works fine now.

  2. I discovered this some time ago for caches within UK (to eliminate caches in the Netherlands when using a 250 mile radius).

     

    The workaround I use is:

    :) Deselect 'countries' radio button and adjust mileage

    :D Press 'submit information' button

    :) Reselect country and press submit button

     

    :) Then preview results to check what you're getting.

     

    It's a real pain in the *ss but it works

  3. I love squirrels and mice - they steal 35mm film pots left in the woods and hide them somewhere else. Long live the ammo can :)

     

    There is some truth in the 'no room for tat' argument but you can't get geocoins in there either (and I bet most micro fans are also icon collectors).

  4. I am almost hoping that mine breaks now ... would love a shiny new one.

    :huh:

     

    Watch what you wish for!

     

    I sent back a monochrome Vista last week (faulty screen, occasionally working click-stick and loose rubber) and have just had to pay £73.81 to get it repaired. :( Fair enough I suppose, but how do they decide which ones to charge and which need paying for? Is it just cos I'm really good looking :(

  5. Just spotted that this milestone was passed over the weekend, and they weren't even at the event! Very well done indeed.

     

    Come on Mr Nibbler, admit it - you're just sucking-up so they'll let you get in before them for a FTF :laughing:

     

    Anyway, we go along with the sentiment, Congrats Cromscout and TNS ;)

  6. We've just released four coins. I drilled all of them and attached an acrylic key tag with the mission statement inside, to hopefully make them less attractive to coin colectors.

     

    As I dropped the first one into a cache I though 'that would make a really nice keyring'. I can't help wondering if that is how they will end up :anitongue:

  7. I'm sure our friends in Ireland don't have a problem getting the whole of their island each week. Those across the pond will never get the whole of the north American with 40 PQs a week. Why should Groundspeak consider UK cachers to be a special case?

  8. I took my Etrex to Sydney and couldn't get a lock in among the city centre buildings until I went to park near the harbour bridge. Even then it took 40 minutes to acquire all of the data that it needed. I was forced to stay in the park and look at the scenery, tragic :)

     

    Did you join a team to complete the World Cache (Australia) while you were there? You could have been first to be two team members at the same time :lostsignal:

  9. here it is fine. did you check your "my controls"

     

    Wow. I didn't realise you could do that - I have been putting up with GMT-8 for ages, which is a bit confusing as we are on the prime meridian :D

     

    Sorted now though, thanks.

  10. I tried to drop three trackables into a cache on Sunday evening using Ctrl Click to select but each time I tried it, a new instance of IE launched taking me to my homepage (GC.com/my).

     

    Shift Click worked ok for adjacent trackables but not Ctrl Click. In the end I had to log the cache and then 'write a note' twice to deposit the three bugs.

     

    Is this an IE7 problem (I never had it with IE6), is it a GC.com problem or is it just me being stupid?
