I should have made it more clear that I was aiming it more at the whole thread. Though I still strongly disagree, I appreciate your responses in trying to help me understand your point of view a little better... -exConn What is Project Virginia?

quote:Originally posted by BrownMule: Ok, I seem to remember when I did my set up there was a place to set the time format and zone. For some reason it didn't work. Now I can't seem to find where to go to set it again. Enjoy the Outdooors. BrownMule Yes, I'm looking for this too! Please tell me I can set my timestamps to EST... -exConn What is Project Virginia?

On my first cache I didn't take anything, but my kids traded for a rain poncho and first aid kit. They still remain in my Camelbak to be used when necessary on future cache hunts... -exConn What is Project Virginia?

Since "Charter Member" is next to my name, please don't take an immediate defensive stance. I honestly am trying to understand what your hang-ups are about a simple little icon. If you don't want one, then don't get one. It's a simple as that. Why knock those who get a "warm fuzzy" out of this simple little thing? You can cache as you always have and not be bothered with it. If I discuss something with you in the forums, what is next to your name doesn't make me respond any differently. Regardless of the icon, everyone here are fellow Geocachers and over time will share experiences and gain friendships just as we always have... -exConn What is Project Virginia?

quote:Originally posted by Rangertrek: Excuse my lack of knowledge on this one. What are the avatars? Rangertrek, You can add your own avatar (although they are temporarily disabled) by visiting your cache page at geocaching.com and updating your profile. Although you can click on the "notecard/person" icon on one of your posts in the forums here and see your profile, I did not see an option to update it... -exConn What is Project Virginia?

Here's just my initial reaction after a little bit of looking around: Like: geocaching.com link! display of views per thread avatars are cool (when they come back) ability to post a poll instant graemlins after editing a post the lame "this post was updated by exConn on..." is gone Jeremy's responsiveness to questions about the new forums Dislike: wish there was a profile link at the top of every forum page can't update my profile from the forums (have to go to the profile copy on geocaching.com to do it)! where can I change my timestamp to EST? avatar sizes are kinda large poll needs to display results when I return to a thread I've already voted in no additional graemlins (yeah, this is lame on my part but was hoping the :rotfl: one would show up) after I post a reply it doesn't go back to the thread and clicking on Continue doesn't work for me Neutral: longer threads broken up into several pages can't rate PopIt! yet as I haven't investigated it -exConn What is Project Virginia?
