Looks like someone grabbed the wrong waymark. Occasionally someone will log a bunch of waymarks but nothing like the bots that logged caches.

I am sure all geocachers would just love to have a "captcha security thingie on all finds" every time they log a find

I probably hold the distinction of a geocacher who has 5,000 or more finds with the highest percentage of no reviewer listed at Project-GC.com.

Your device did not change but you indicated you changed your OS from XP to Win10. The orientation information has always been there but was ignored by your computer, now it is no longer ignored.

The problem is caused by the orientation setting in the the photos exif data. The older operation system and older browsers did not use this setting (and Waymarking does not use it) and newer operating systems and browsers do use this information. Just rotating the photo so it appears correctly in Waymarking may not completely fix the problem if someone clicks to see the photo in jpg format outside of the Waymarking frame as it may show incorrectly rotated even it appears correctly in Waymarking frames. (depends on program is used to rotate the photo) The easiest way to fix the problem is to remove the orientation setting on portrait images before rotating them. I use Lightroom to do this but a program is available on web called ExifCleaner that does the job easily.

For me, the far greater issue with Waymarking in terms of its longevity is the problem of abandoned categories. Sorry Bruce, but I think time would be much more productively spent finding a way to automate the replacement of absentee leaders than in voting off categories. I was not recommending removing categories, just indicating my feelings of what would happen if such a vote was held. As far as abandoned categories, this is pretty much under control. Groundspeak periodically generates a list of categories which have pending waymarks over a specified number of days and these are dealt with.

Not really much to mull over. It is near impossible to get a commercial category through peer review and has been for a few years (too bad it didn't start a few years earlier). And chain categories fare worse. If it was put to the current Waymarking community to vote off 50 current categories (not something I am proposing) at least 45 of those would be commercial categories and most of those would be chains. Others would be categories with such low numbers world wide they don't really support a category.

Closed at OP's request

Seems to work for me though a bit slow.

This has been forwarded to Groundspeak for resolution. Thus I am closing this thread.

Closing duplicate thread.

Well not actually needs. You would like a category for Chipotle. Not all waymarkers share that same desire as has been shown by non-success rate of commercial categories particularly chain establishment categories.

The top waymark posters are HERE, thanks to the hard work of DougK. For most visited, etc., you'll prolly have to ask Doug if he has yet developed such a list. At the moment DougK's stats are looking The stats banner is one thing still not working on the site. It is not working on profile page either.

Of course the Waymarking map does not show any real caches, after all it is Waymarking.com. Geocaching.com does a pretty good job of showing where geocaches are but does not show any real Waymarks. Checking your area (using your first cache owned as a center point) it appears that 10-15% are business and the other 85-90% are not businesses. As far as personal/private information getting leaked, I have no idea what you are talking about, thus I will assume you are misinformed. Visiting a waymark normally requires you to upload a photo of the subject of the waymark and make a comment or two about your visit, not much personal/private about that.

Closing duplicate thread. OP has found the other threads in "Waymarking.com Features & Functions" section

Looks like the icon problem has been resolved.

They are still working on issue... sporadically it is good but issue not resolved.

Should be good now Edit: Still issues

In contact with Groundspeak and problem is being investigated to resolve issue.

This issue has now been resolved.

This problem has been resolved.

I have been in contact with the Waymarking developer and he will be looking into it once he is at the office.

I would never wish cancer as I have experienced on any one but going through it sure helps to keep things in perspective. Sorry but how and where someone writes their name on a log just does not matter in my life. It is not a new phenomena, people have signed in random places for 14 years or more. When John Hancock signed the Declaration of Independence so big and in the middle did the other signers whine and moan about it.... no... they found another place to sign... life was good (and still is if you don't worry about trivial things)

Closing as the OP has been edited leaving no context.

This thread is going nowhere, time to close.
