  1. I just looked and it turns out we did that very same cache in June of last year. As I recall the tough part was finding parking in the shade. That's sometimes the trickiest part of caching in Arizona.
  2. When I complete the Northern California DeLorme Challenge, I want to go find a cache. I don't want an image in a file, Souvenirs, I'll never look at. I'd like challenges like DeLorme, all the counties of a state, etc, i.e., significant efforts get their own cache-type icon. I think challenges of this sort should be separated from challenges like GC2JMAQ which should remain in the Unknown category.
  3. The only thing running slow is my brain. I clicked the Tuesday box instead of the Thursday box on the schedule. I think I'll take a little nap now.
  4. Do you mean you "previewed" or actually scheduled and ran a pocket query. I can "preview" but the ones I scheduled, now 30 minutes ago, still have not run.
  5. Are pocket queries down or just slow this morning. 8:15 am PST?
  6. All these problems would be mute if when an owner archives a cache, they remove the container. I'm sure that you do this but it's clear that many others do not. My procedure on archived caches is ... if I find-and-sign or in the case of virtual find-and-supply-the-needed-information, then I log the find.
  7. Try yellow text on a white background. Compare that to bold black text. You really don't see a difference in readability? Sure there is a difference when you use yellow. There are lots of other colors to use that can make it more interesting. Even TFTC is more interesting in color. Concerning fonts ... Arial certainly is know as the fun font.
  8. Thanks for all the hard work. When I open the pocket query window, the link to the video appears. I click on "Do not show this video again." The next time I log on and open the pocket query window the link to the video appears. Why doesn't clicking on "Do not show ..." make it so that it doesn't appear again? I love pocket queries and use them all the time. I don't need the video and would like it to "not show." It is in the way. Thanks.
  9. Will we be able to choose to use the maps and or stats we already like and use?
  10. My guess is that when one is doing paperless caching all the code HTML and BB appears in its full glory. It makes past logs harder to read for folks out in the field. Why they come first and not the folks reading the logs on the cache listing, I don't know. On the other hand, my wife, who reads those as we approach our next search will pleased as punch to hear that all that stuff is gone. She'd like past logs to be helpful for the find or TFTC. She doesn't ever want to read about who folks are caching with or where there were going while caching.
  11. No, I'm sorry but text color and font type will not be configurable in the logs. However, we will run a script to clean up the old BBCode tags so they will not look cluttered. I know that some, including yourself, enjoyed customizing the log text but for the sake of consistency and readability we feel this is the right move. Ah yes, it's all about the iPhones. Color is in some way less readable? Yeah, right.
  12. Is fixing the BBCode so that we can put colored text in our comments coming soon?
  13. If you wrote your listings in HTML those the links aren't broken ... or at least those of mine that I checked are not. I find it amusing the BBCoding appears to be alive and well, at least in the italics, in this forum post.
  14. In the newly constituted "Comments" box when we hit "Enter" it appears to double space or more leaving way too much white space between lines.
  15. If you try to pre-write logs for challenges all line breaks are stripped out of the text making things unreadable. This has already been an issue when one wished to print a cache listing. The descriptions in the listing were made particularly difficult to read. It would be nicer if this problem had been addressed rather than being compounded by the problem now doing the same thing as we try to log caches. I wish I was getting the impression that this was going to be addressed. I don't.
  16. Is the secret of the decoder ring that it tells you what matches up with "Z?" There's nothing above it????
  17. To see how it works go to EMC of Northridge's blog and watch the video in the Conquering the Aliens post. http://emcofnorthridge.wordpress.com/
  18. They'd know before they got to the next stop ... 528 feet away.
  19. Minnesota State Parks is another one of the systems that actively encourages geocaching. They've even set up caches of their own to bring folks to all their parks ... with an prize for the first person to complete the list. So much more sensible than the states that are trying to keep cachers out of their own parks.
  20. GSAK is not, in this case, a solution. I have some non-tech-savvy caching friends who I like to take with me on cache runs. I don't need to filter out their finds, I need them to filter out mine. They often have trouble even getting the correct similar pocket query run and into their pda and gps units. Then they want to stop at every cache they haven't found in an area where I've cached more often. And, no, the solution is not new friends. The solution is the other-cachers filter in the pocket query. I'd have the greatest chance of success getting them to do that.
  21. I find the Feedback site to be, for the most part, useless. I've learned things here in the Forums while the Feedback site has too few replies per page and too few useful comments per topic.
  22. Ah, yes, I'd forgotten that little trick. Thanks. I wish the hamsters would get this fixed though.
  23. The Stat Bar is not updating. I tried refreshing the page and logging out and back in without success. Suggestions? Others with the same problem?
