If someone doesn't know what a spoiler is, this must be his or her first day on the Internet.

Baseball/trading cards? http://www.peoplecards.net/

They've been using that in my city to map the sidewalks as Tallahassee is the most pedestrian-unfirendly town I've ever lived in.

Well, if I ever see him here in Tallahassee (I'm pretty sure he has a home here) in Cabo's, I'll be sure to tell him all about it.

I've given up on understanding what is required to make my own right-angle cable extension for an external antenna for my GPSmap 76. I figure with the release of the new 76s, there will be more of these and some enterprising geocacher would be willing to whip up a few and sell them here. I'd really like a right-angle BNC extension cable so I can use the cable and carry the unit in my pack. If nobody is interested in this, but can give me idiot proof instructions and a shopping list I can't screw up, that would be fine. Thanks, Jake

I just want to know if it's my dressing..?

T-storm, no, I won't leave it off. My membership wasn't a fee being paid, it wasn't a good being purchased...it was an investment in the future of the site. Part of the return on that investment is that I can now (sometimes) participate on a broken messageboard. Wee! The messageboard replaced the mailing list. The one geocaching mailing list I'm on (over at yahoogroups) is *very* low-traffic. I've learned about alternate cache containers, GPS information that isn't in the crappy Garmin manuals, learned of Bookcrossing.com, learned about letterboxing, and gained some ideas for three caches I'm currently planning. I get a lot out of the boards, but only when they're working.

What happened to these? I saw them for a while, but now they're gone...

I'm completely sick of it. The last thing I expected to happen when I forked over my membership fee was to switch from a working forum to a broken forum...

I make my own. I make it out of extra virgin olive oil, rasberry vinegar, lem and herb seasoning, and a splash of key lime juice. It's all I need.

Food in caches is just ad stupid as burying them.

Finger pointing? Lighten up. I'm only pointing to the errors that are plaguing us. Check out the GC.com forum, one person alone got 45 white screens! That's not just buggy code, it's bad code. For what it's worth, I've dinked around with some coding here and there. While I understand that there can be problems, I also understand that those problems are discovered during a closed testing period prior to public release... I'm a forum user and participant, I am NOT a beta tester.

Browser redirection based on client version is wrong. Standards-compliance is the only way to code. My apologies for the site having a "retooling" message. I was not aware of that going on. I'd also recommend http://www.alistapart.com/ for excellent standards-based coding articles and information.

I have very little in the way of disagreements with the arguments against my car analogy...except to say you're wrong. Anyway, I think there is something about which we can all agree when it comes to the forums. The old forums worked much, much more smoothly.

It's worse than annoying, it's non-standard code. http://www.webstandards.org/

Sorry, TeamCacheCows, I can't forgive a company for selling what appears to be poorly designed code as a commercial product. This forum is broken, and they sold it that way. If this were a car, you'd be checking out your local lemon laws...

Earthworm Jim was the *coolest* game on the Sega I ever played...

Well, a rider to a bill could easily do it. Anyway, he didn't happen to tell you the bill number so we could go look it up and read it, did he? Until I see it in writing, it does not exist.

I've got it. List yourself as a travel bug and log each visit as both a find and a TB visit. YOU travel from cache to cache and make it a travelogue-type novel. "My Life as a Travel Bug"
