i do not have this issue... My owned caches do show on the new beta map. I have this issue. The cache owned by me is shown but I think the OP meant that the icon is not different from any other cache. I'm guessing that will come later along with smilies for found by me caches.

Only the distance is displayed for users viewing your stats, not the GC ID. I'm happy to see this change and then new line on the my stats indicating the fact the the GC ID is not shown for nearest find. Thank you.

Since 3 of the 5 State souvenirs we've received are "wrong" due to logging traveling caches that've gone to rest in states where we've not cached, I'm not overly impressed. If geocaching had a way for us to "fix" these like I've done in GSAK to get the maps posted on our profile it would be an improvement. I much prefer the maps anyway. If people are getting enjoyment from them, then they qualify as a good thing. The folks that don't like them can not-click on that tab and never see them. Remember: Look for the fun.

That site is so hard to use I avoid going there. If the comments there were listed like here in the forums so you can scroll through and actually get a feel for what people are saying it might be useful. The way it is now? Not worth the time. The "suggestions for improvements" should be brought back to the forums. The whole idea that you have 10 votes and then while your idea languishes at the bottom of the heap out of sight and therefore on no ones mind makes it even less useful.

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.

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.

Now, that sounds like a fun event.

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.

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.

Are pocket queries down or just slow this morning. 8:15 am PST?

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.

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.

Thank you.

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.

Will we be able to choose to use the maps and or stats we already like and use?

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.

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.

Is fixing the BBCode so that we can put colored text in our comments coming soon?

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.

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.

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.

Is the secret of the decoder ring that it tells you what matches up with "Z?" There's nothing above it????

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/
