  1. G'damnit Google! *grumbles*
  2. It's not our job to worry about what is high priority and what is not. Some changes might be easy to make while they are re-writing other code at the same time and priority might not be a factor. Or, improving usability might be the "focus of the week" or whatever. My point is, unless the devs have already told us it's not going to happen then it's not for us to worry about the resources it might take.
  3. Yes, you can move the cache if you are moving it less then a few hundred feet. It's a log type - "Update Coordinates". Assuming the new location qualifies. If you need to move it more then a hundred feet or so, your best bet is to archive the old one and simply create a new cache.
  4. I recommend using whole words. Unless, that is, you don't really appreciate the cache enough to take the slight amount of extra effort involved in hitting 7 or 8 extra keys. "Neologism" is a word. "...is a newly coined word that may be in the process of entering common use, but has not yet been accepted into mainstream language."
  5. Your making quite the assumption that it's a "letterbox hybrid" and not just a letterbox from a letterboxing site.
  6. You might need to do step 3 more then once... I think you can only download 20 at a time that way. If you become a "Premium member" one option you get is to download all all of your finds all at once. Either way you do it, you can drag/drop the file into google earth and the program will map them out for you. It's kind of fun to see what kind of "mark" you've made.
  7. Please don't lie to cops about geocacheing. The more positive experiences they have with cachers the better for the next cacher they stumble upon.
  8. But... but... sunk ships make awesome caches!
  9. I think I'll leave this sort of things for my logs where they are much more likely to see it.
  10. Exactly... "Be the cacher you would like to see others be".
  11. I own a Magellan triton 400 and I'm mostly happy with it... but I don't think I would recommend it to someone looking for a GPSr. I don't think Magellan has any respect for the Geocaching community... the paperless geocaching is missing vital information (like size, geocode, logs, etc.) and I've found a number of geocaches that would actually crash vantage point if I tried to load them into the GPSr. That said, at the 130$ price point I think the T400 has the best feature-set on the market. If you can get past some of the quirkiness I think you will be successful.
  12. Are you within a corporate network? In a country with weird censorship laws (Australia, Iran, China, etc)?
  13. There are two possibilities: 1. Your right. 2. You entered something wrong. Since it's working for me, 1 is a not very likley. It would require a very special case... how are you entering in your coordinates? Is it in the correct format? DDD MMM.mmm vs DD.DDDDD vs DDD MMM SSS.sss, etc?
  14. I wish anything you had filtered out wouldn't count for the 500... but it's not high on my care list.
  15. The solution is to save up your lunch money and buy a premium membership.
  16. Truly, really, for sure? Seems a little extreme. Slow at times, but rarely has that happened to me but it has, so rarely it usually indicates the server(s) are totally down. Perhaps your provider? I thought the site was still down from the fire untill I got email from someone finding one of my caches. It might be something on this end but everything else I go to works. It's absolutely (somewhere) on your end. Try clearing your cache. It could be your ISP's cache... but it would need to be horribly misconfigured to not have been flushed by now.
  17. Works perfectly. Sure it's not a PEBKAC? Might be an ID-Ten-T Error. (Oh, calm down, I'm kidding! Jesh. I'm in tech support - we talk trash about the users all the time. It's required to keep sane.)
  18. Actually, you can type in quite a few different things to zoom to different areas. The name of a park, the name of the "city, state", 3-letter airport code, lake names... all sorts of things. Google has gone way out of thier way to give users 100's of options to search. I do have some complaints on how it works... Every cache is a separate object, so it makes the load times quite long if your near the 500 cache limit. You do know there is a 500 cache limit, right? If your viewing an entire city chances are that your over the 500 caches. If you zoom in they should start loading.
  19. Well, why shouldn't the user be the person to decide, what is the best tool to accomplish that task. For me, it would be RSS ... Klaus Agreed - It would be a nice option for those who prefer to use RSS feeds over e-mail /yes, shameless bump!
  20. RSS is a simple XML file - XML can be generated easily via a PHP script. Once you've done it once it's just a matter of changing a variable or two to do it again. As far as coding goes it is just as complicated to send out the e-mails as it would be to write to an XML file.
  21. You're redundant! Thank you for that solution... however, I would like to see geocaching.com improved rather then solve this problem for myself only.
  22. Yes, my other post is inspiration for this request. Just call me puppy-arrow. RSS feeds are fairly simple programing and it would be a neat addition.
  23. That's it... Not much too it. Would be a nice alternate to e-mail.
  24. None, in this case. They can't just going around destroying private property with no reason.
  25. Well, it all depends I guess. If it's close too home, low @ difficulty I might spend less time then I would if it was far from home and/or higher difficulty. Basically until the frustration of not finding the cache overwhelms the fun of looking. Hot weather can make a difference.
