When I was taking pictures of a police station in India, I was asked to stop. The thing was the person asking was so quiet, I didn't really get what he was saying. My boyfriend spelled it out to me, and I stopped.

I'll try! Instead of one ghost icon, you can collect nearly 1,000 different icons if you travel extensively enough. If you consider my 17 states and 4 countries as a measly weekend trip, I challenge you to top my 650 different icons of the 950 currently available... if your screen name is not BruceS. Does 750 Categories Count? Grid Count: 750 of 958 http://www.Waymarking.com/users/profile.as...se&mypage=4 Chika-Boom Chika-Boom... Don't ya just love it?

When I am writing up a waymark, I focus differently depending on what aspect of the location I am writing up. For example, the Fisher Building in Detroit is a Beautiful building. If I am writing it up in the National Register of Historic Places, my focus is on those aspects of the building. If I am writing up the Michigan Historic Marker on that Site, my focus is different. The mural in the lobby is another focus. Why invest the time to write up separately? Because the Waymarking audience is more diverse than a GC audience. If you go to a GC, your sole purpose is to get a smiley, and you are a geocacher. Waymarking attracts people of all sorts of interests. Because of the wide variety of categories, most people aren't coming to Waymarking.com for "A" waymark, they are coming because they have an interest in a category. By having them in separate waymarks, the person interested in Murals doesn't have to scroll past the verbiage of the Historical Marker to get to their interest. You're looking in the wrong place. Click on the Waymarks folder, and scroll down to see how often and when your waymarks have been viewed. Most waymarks get viewed pretty regularly people without a GC.com logon. Just because they don't create a GC.com ID and log a visit to say "Thank-You" doesn't mean that your waymark didn't help them out in some way.

I had the same thing this evening. I was trying to click thru from a GC.com email to remove from my watch list, and it kept going to Yahoo. I went through and uninstalled everything to do with YAHOO from my add remove programs menu, and everything is now fine.
