  1. It's mainly just called this because it's the 'other' section of the site, and "Mystery Cache" sounds better than "Other Cache"
  2. I agree that no caches should be left out, but I also agree that if they had to leave some out (which I don't think they had to do).....
  3. Thank you LD for this lovely script! very useful, especially in areas where there are so few geocaches that you need the extra screen size to see roads and more than 5 caches! I have not experienced any of the above problems relating to the new update, and therefore I will assume that it is my superior browser (take that non-chromers!)
  4. at the very least, edit the notifications to go to another e-mail address
  5. Great idea, not worth the time it would take away from them working on something truly important (even though I can't think about one now). If they have time in which they aren't doing anything (as if) then this would make a good time-filler, but I don't think that this would actually be good enough to take away from something else they're thinking of creating
  6. do an advanced search 1. go to the hide and seek a cache page and scroll down to where it says "Try advanced search options, or look for locationless caches (now waymark categories!)" and click 'advanced search options' OR 2. from the home page, scroll down to the 'search for geocaches' element, and select 'advanced search' You can now select which type of cache you want to find (CITO event, any cache, multi, etc.) and you can select where to base it from (co-ordinates, state/country, postal/zip code) you will now be at a page that shows all nearby caches (I think within 50m, but I honestly have no idea
  7. First off, are you more likely to go for a short walk without making sure it's something you like, or spend 40$ on a book or movie that will take a few weeks to get here? It's hard to buy something spur-the-moment when you won't have it for a veeeeeery long moment. Also, if you are rating a cache, can you honestly tell me that you wouldn't rate your first puzzle cache lower because you found out you don't like puzzle caches? Or if it's an amazing cache but you couldn't find it, it doesn't matter whether that's because you aren't very good at finding caches, it was too hard to find, or it was missing, can you honestly say you wouldn't rate it lower than if you found it? And think of the people who made the cache. They make this nice cache, but then somebody decides they hate night caching, and so they get a 1star rating... Wouldn't the programming time needed for this, once you include trying to get everybody to re-rate all their previously found caches, be much better used on improving Wherigo for use on more GPSs, or being faster or something like that. Why not improve the efficiency of Waymarking.com so that you could see your waymarks along with your geocaches on your paperless GPS. You could use this time to create a poll system so that they could know what we want, and how many of us want it. We should instead have something where it doesn't mean anyone thinks you have a horrible cache if you don't get anything (I liked that idea of the awards system) after all, geocaching is about the fun of finding the cache, not about trying to get as high of ratings as you can. I will now sit back to see how this argument continues (if I can resist the urge to butt in)
  8. That's quite right. Around my area 99% of them are . And I hate it when someone logs on my hides "... there was no plastic bag, so I used one to protect the container ..." aaaaaaggggggggg well, you get a free plastic bag out of it...
  9. I'm more or less geocaching by just using my GPS to be a backseat driver when I'm bored (but it doesn't always work...) and I have been astounded by how much trash there was on every trail under 50km... I would like to do something about this trash, but would like gear that is as easy to carry around as possible, and garbage bags that won't melt in the heat of summer in a closed vehicle, and that close tightly enough that the whole car won't stink (driver distraction!) If anybody knows of anything that would help, preferably that I could likely find just about anywhere, I would be at least somewhat happy (How can you be fully happy as a teen?) P.S. The trash is too disgusting, I would like tips on poky sticks (whatever they're actually called) as well
  10. To cut down on horribly designed polls: make them a premium member feature, make it so you can only make one every 2 weeks or month, make it so that if you consistently make pointless polls, you will lose your polling privileges. Do this, and polling is readily available, but there aren't too many pointless polls.
  11. I am a Canadian geocacher too! I'm from the K-W area (southern ontario), and I haven't yet found local geocachers outside of my homeschool group... There must be some out there though, otherwise there must only be one person hiding the few hundred caches around there
