Look nice
I went to "Geoaches" > "Placed geocaches" and clicked on "Lab cache"
Which resulted in a 404 DNF page
It sent me to this page: https://labs.geocaching.com/builder/LoginGeocaching/LoginAndRedirect?returnUrl=https://labs.geocaching.com/builder/
The "Owned trackbles" table seems to overflow from it's container

would support setup for multiple languages
I would love to see that feature as well.
Being able to add a language to a labcache and than supplying the translation for the title, lab description, location description and question
I speak Dutch, English and German and now I had to create my own "solution" using [NL], [EN] and [DE] resulting in shorter descriptions due to the field limitations

Hi,
I'm currently in the process of creating my labcaches en we're doing a test this evening but I noticed that the layout of the description is not the same in all places.
In the builder it's left aligned and has enters
In the app it's left aligned and has enters
But on the public URL it's centered and does not have enters.
I'm guessing it's all supposed to be left aligned and with enters?

Somewhat related to this.
I'm coming to the USA and Canada this summer to visit the 20 year party and do a lot of year 2000 caches. We're flying from city to city and renting a car to get around locally.
Last time I was in the USA it was for business so we didn't do stops in random places with our car.
Can anybody tell me what the general rules are about stopping on the side of the ride in the USA/Canada or do they differ per state?
Stopping for this cache for example: https://coord.info/GC14JJN
In case it matters, here's a list of cities/areas we're visiting:
- Miami
- San Francisco
- Salt Lake City
- Denver
- Vancouver, CA
- Seattle
- Portland
- Victoria, CA
- Boston

...update: I had used my hosts file to block consentcdn.cookiebot.com, but failed to notice one JS loaded from consent.cookiebot.com. I just added the latter domain and it looks, on preliminary loading just now, like that block has made a difference. If that's the case, it's consent.cookiebot.com/uc.js that is the culprit for ridiculously awful loading priority...
I had not.
But I've added cookiebot.com and *.cookiebot.com to the blocklist and stuff is indeed faster again

That's not true, e.g.:-
Sorry my mistake. Some of them. I shouldn't have said All.
But the point still stands. They should not have removed the existing background images

I don't know if it has been posted in this thread or not.
But did this update change something to the JS of the entire site?
It seems that a lot of "popups" that use JS take a long time to get ready before they respond or they seem to get stuck in a never working loop
I often have to reload the cache page and not click anything for a while otherwise it might get stuck in the loop again.
e.g.
the "Add to list" on the cache page
or clicking the GC number on the cache page to copy it

Why was I not informed of this as a cache owner?
- If you change things that directly impact the cache listings themselves instead of general functionality on the site it seems a email telling cache owners you've done so would be the proper thing to do
-
Why have you removed existing images (All my caches had background images and now they don't)
- I used to have a cache with a rotating background because I set a directory/index.php as background so it would serve a random background from the list every time you visited the cache page. This is also no longer possible.
-
All caches using the background images as part of their puzzle are now broken
- And because you've not informed caches owners they might not know that their puzzle is now broken.
- I use external images in my cache pages (background as well) from my own site because it has happened in the past that GC deleted/lost a lot of images resulting in a lot of banners for caches disappearing so I don't fully trust the GC image storage
It might be a good idea when posting release notes to include the reasoning behind them. I can guess some possible reasons but without a explanation they are just guesses.
Can you please stop breaking stuff nobody asked you to change

I get a strange error message when I want to look at https://status.geocaching.com/
In Firefox 71 it says :
Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for status.geocaching.com. The certificate is only valid for secure-stats.pingdom.com.
Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAINThe certificate for secure-stats.pingdom.com get loaded instead of a certificate for status.geocaching.com

and from there you can click on the Browse Geocaches button at the top to go to the Browse Map at that location.
Me and a lot of other people are not a fan of the new search map and rather use the browse map.
I wished they never changed it to the search map by default. Why can't it be the browse map by default and only show the search map when I'm using the search function.
(I've talked to a beta tester about this after the new search map went live and as far as I know they advised GC against changing the default map)

It is there. Though I have mentioned that it makes sense to move the Browse Map link up with the View Map link, perhaps even changing "View Map" to "Search Map" and including it in the section with "search."
That "View Browse Map" opens the browse map but not on the coordinates of the cache I'm currently on which is the functionality I'm missing
-
I would love to see the ability to add your own waypoints to a cache.
It happens quite a lot than when I'm planning a day of geocaching that a cache will not include parking coordinates or has a extra point in the text.
I know I could manually create the waypoints and add them to the GPS but it would be nice of they could be added to the cache so they are automatically added when generating a PQ or offline list
Some possible rules:
- Only visible to you
- Included when generating PQ
- Included in offline download in app
- Specify a wp type, name coordinates, and maybe some text
- Premium only?

I fully believe that they want to retire it at some point. That will be an interesting day...
I'm afraid of that as well but I really hope they never do or at least make the search map better.
Every time I'm confronted with that search map I switch to browse map because there are very few use cases for me where the search map is better than the browse map.

B. "Geocaching.com Map" which shows all caches around this caches (as the center).
Just use the appropriate link. ;-)
I've never used that link before
It "solves" my issue.
But in my opinion I would like the geoaching map link, linked to the browse map or a second link directly linking to the browse map
e.g.

This has been archived https://coord.info/GC22FB4
So I went to the page of the cache and in the past I would click on "View larger map" to see if anything new had been added to the same location or close by.
But because all links have been replaced with the new search map instead of the browse map I get:
Ok, I get that because it's archived.
But after this the map opens on my home coordinates and not on the coordinates of the cache.
I'm not really liking the search map so far but this certainly doesn't help and making it useless in this case as well.

I have edited the release notes to reduce confusion. The List Hub (https://www.geocaching.com/plan/lists) now persists sort order. The columns Favorites, Difficulty, Placed are on List Details pages (https://www.geocaching.com/plan/lists/BM....) and have not been updated to persist sort order at this time.
Are there any plans to extend this to the app?
I would love for lists in the app to also be persistent in their sort order
or have something similar as within the list where you can choose: sort by distance, name
On 12/6/2019 at 8:36 PM, Oceansazul said:Based on your feedback, we have now released a highly requested new feature for the Lists:
- On List Detail pages, you can now ‘Filter & Select’ geocaches on the List based on the geocache status of Found, Archived, or Disabled
I've really like this feature. It makes it so much easier to cleanup my solved puzzle lists after I've done a bunch or if they're archived ?

Following up on what terratin noticed,
I wonder if this is browser dependent? On Windows machine running Firefox 70.0 I was able to bookmark both caches.
One cache title has an image, and other title has space then " marks.
I tried again at home on my Windows PC and it works there.
I had the issue at work on my Linux PC
Both using the latest version of Firefox (70.0.1 (64-bit) for Windows, not sure about the exact version on Linux at the moment)

No idea why but when I try to add GC7JQCD to a list it finds it but it won't add it.
Same with: GC5B4CB
-
Adding caches to the list is now really annoying
- Remove existing GC because clicking in the field doesn't select it so pasting the cache GC code get's you GCGCXXXX
- I can't enter the entry
- You have to select from the search result list
- Clicking anywhere other than the search result list closes it and clicking the the field again doesn't re-open it.
- I can't click add without selecting from the search result list
As the lists are right now there are actually more drawbacks for me in using the new lists page than benefits.
So why don't I have the option here to go back to the previous page? Because I'd rather do that at the moment

- One of the issues with the current experience is that the sorting of the lists in the list hub wasn't sticky. The current one always defaults to sort by the most recently modified, but a number of users wanted it to default to alphabetical (including myself). Will the sorting be sticky now?
Just found the new lists and noticed some things
-
Checking and unchecking the checkboxes feels sluggish. It feels like it takes more than a second to check or uncheck a item in the list.
(I'm guessing some JS is slower than the plain html checkboxes they used to be) -
You cannot sort by my own Found status
(I wanted to removed the found puzzles from the solved puzzles list and I still need to scroll trough the entire thing) -
Formatting on the list description no longer works. I tried both bold and **bold**.
(First option used to work) -
The list is now limited to 500 per page
(I think it was 1000 per page before?) - I'm still missing the option to keep lists sorted alphabetically and not by last modified

Hi,
Filter settings do not match.
I searched for D2.5/T4 and used the view on map button and the new map used D2/T4

How do I stop the app/website from sorting my lists by most recent edited list on top?
e.g.
I'm going caching next Saturday for which I have a list and it's complete I don't need to change it anymore.
Last weekend a cacher mentiod some cool caches to visit during a trip to a mega event next year so I add them to the list for the drive to the mega next year.
Yesterday a cacher mentioned something for my trip to the GIFF mega in Cologne so I added it to my list for that day
This continues... I create lists as far ahead as 2020 at the moment and edit those when I mention my planned visits/ideas and someone mentions a cool cache to visit
I name all my lists using the following format so they are in sequence when sorted by name (year when it's not for the current year):
([year]-)[month]-[day]-[name]
11-03-CITO
11-10-GIFF
2019-01-17-Mexico
But both website and app keep sorting by last edited list on top.
On the website I can at least sort the lists myself (but I'd rather not have to)
But in the app this is impossible
Please add a setting for the default list sort behavior or remember the sort order used in the account

I'm loving the new map. I'm currently in the office so I will test some more this evening when I'm home.
The one thing I do miss after a quick glance is my pocket queries
More information for a cache should indeed open a new tab/page

Je zou de webbrowser Chrome kunnen gebruiken die een ingebouwde link naar Google translate heeft om hele pagina's te vertalen.
