The neighbors would likely think the owner is either active or former military, and/or a gun enthusiast, none of which is inherently bad. I fall into two of those categories, and if anyone thinks ill of me for being so, the problem is definitely on their end, not mine.

Thanx, smartiboy! Your solution took me from cussing this app out and wanting to raise heck to, "I can't wait to show this to my cache buddies!" excitement. Just in time for a caching weekend! Founding Member of SWAG - Santiam-Willamette Area Geocachers. Follow Pablo Mac on Twitter.

Cool cachers log their DNFs.

My new "non-business" cards just got delivered:

Is it perhaps a browser issue? I haven't used Internet Explorer for years, but I read something recently that IE 7 still doesn't support PNG, which, by the way, stands for "Portable Network Graphics." Whatever. That's a shame, because PNG is a great format. Fortunately, Firefox, arguably the best browser on both Mac and Windoze, handles PNG just fine. So does Safari, as well as many other good browsers. Also, I always upload pics to tinypic.com, then post the image to forums with that link. Tinypic.com is a free image hosting site designed to handle that type of traffic.

I work as an eLearning system admin & course developer at a local community college, and I know a cool geology instructor there. I see some cool potential here...

Well, I may have to do something about that.

Got a GC# or a link? I'm planning to do the APE cache there this summer.

Fortunately, you're in the minority. Plain text looks horrible when you consider today's technological ability to enhance it so it is easier to read. His opinion on this issue is indeed humble.

Continue that mindset when you're hunting caches as well. If it's a cache you don't like for any reason, ignore it... ...and move on. Speaking of moving on...

If I came across a cache with an agenda I didn't like, I would add it to my ignore list. Semper Fidelis

Our new online community of cachers meets at gcswag.com, and we already have 31 members. We have a forum, private discussion board, music and video, and a lot more. We are just about to order SWAG logo t-shirts!

Your apparent fears of bad things happening contradict the numerous family pictures in your profile.

I had an extensive reply to this post all drafted and ready to post, then decided that the majority of people reading this thread can see through the...uh...can tell where Okiebryan is coming from with his comments. All I want to add is that I obtain model releases from everyone I video for my YouTube videos. If anyone appearing in my fotage doesn't want to appear in an online video, I toss that footage out.

I mentioned in my opening post how I sometimes need to schedule a cache activation relative to a cache event. The other big reason is because I have some plans for new caches that would be great for FTF Attempt YouTube Videos. If there is anybody on this planet who understands and experiences human error, it's me, and I would hate to be the victim of it when I'm all set up on site, camcorder at the ready, waiting, and waiting... I guess it would it work to leave the "Yes, this listing is active..." button unchecked, and manually check it when I'm ready (another reason to justify my iPhone). And before you ask, yes, the FTF competition around here is usually hot and heavy. I...uh...some cachers around here have allegedly been on site 9 minutes after cache activation. I'm lucky to live in a video scene-rich environment.

It would have to be the cache owner's responsibility to prepare the cache submission well in advance of the cache activation time. I would suggest a 1-week requirement for scheduled caches to be submitted for the approval and activation queue processes to be completed.

In the past, I have needed to activate caches on a specific date and time, such as right before an event cache, so that everyone has the same opportunity for an FTF, etc. I have done this by coordinating with a reviewer, who agrees to click the button at the scheduled time, but there's gotta be a better way. My idea would be a check box on the "Submit a New Cache" form along the lines of: "Schedule Cache Activation for XX date & XX time." At that point, and after the review process is complete, the cache page sits in an activation queue until the specified time, then the system kicks it out as activated. I'm sure there is a certain amount of programming to make that happen, but it would prevent reviewers from having to field requests from dorks like me who ask that kind of favor. Or is there already a workaround for this issue, and I failed to find it?

Here are two videos of my current Jeep in its previous state of project development. It's down for the winter undergoing a lift, drivetrain mods, and a Corvette engine. Here's one of me installing a hood graphic on my friend's Jeep: Jeep Hood Makeover: Extreme Edition Enjoy! - Pablo Mac

Aliens.

So many cool signature lines here make mine look lame. Either that, or mine is lame all by itself. Does it help if I mention that I posted this from my iPhone?

I have almost as many pending friend requests as I have friends.

That's how I would do it. I CMD-Click links when I want them to open in a new browser tab.

Request is on the way. Yes, it is, and that's the point. The numbers really don't matter. Thanks!

My "Pending Friend Requests" currently has 7 geocachers whom I have invited to be my friend, but haven't accepted. I know it's "not about the numbers," but can ya beat that? Check your Pending Friend Requests.
