  1. This is still an issue. I just emailed Groundspeak although they said they'd rather I report this in the forum. Looks like GS is ignoring this issue in the forum. I find this annoying as I am discovering / maintaining TBs in my TB hotel and my discover is dated BEFORE the TB is paced in the hotel. lol
  2. The List feature was working for me earlier today with VPN on and now is not working. I haven't updated anything. Has Groundspeak confirmed there is an issue? Going to a MEGA this weekend and hoping this is fixed before then. I turned VPN off and still have issue. Do you have to reboot the iPhone?
  3. Sorry, but I don't understand the problem. If for example I see a list of waymarks and one of them is in the category "X" and I want to know, if I have ever found a waymark of that category, I click on the category name (below the waymark name). This brings up all the waymarks in this category and then I open the "Search Criteria" and activate the radio button "Waymarks I've Visited". That's quite easy and the 200 mile limit doesn't apply. If I totally misunderstood your problem, please ignore me. :-) I didn't realize I could use this option. Thanks for pointing it out.
  4. This list is kept up to date: Waymarking Icons in Alphabetic Order or: All Waymarking Icons in Alphabetic Order They're anchored at the Waymarking Stats home page. Thank you. I will look at these.
  5. I created a list a while ago: list of categories thread It is not up to date, the last two or three lines are missing and sometimes the position of icon do shift a bit, but it can still be a starting point. "Wavy Places" is on 15S. "Seattle Art and Seek" was intentionally excluded from the grid. "Yard Art Silhouettes" is a bug, this category was never approved and still appears in some lists, but not on the grid. The appropriate real category for these objects is Silhouette Public Art Sculptures Thanks!! Is there a reason why Seattle Art and Seek was excluded? I knew a list existed but could not find it in the pinned lists.
  6. I just went through the topics for Waymarking to see if this was addressed and could not locate a topic discussing this. I apologize if this has already been discussed. I like to get waymarks that I haven't found when traveling. I find it hard to tell sometimes whether I have found a waymark in a category due to the 200 mile limit in the search. I stared an excel spreadsheet noting the Column and Row coordinates and whether I have found one in that category or not. For example, A1 = the category "Blogging". There are just a few more that I cannot locate on the Waymarking grid and hope someone can tell me where they are on the grid. Seattle Art and Seek Wavy Places I'd really like to see the Column and Row listed somewhere on Waymarking.com, possibly on the category page. Also, in my wandering, I found a non-user category called "Yard Art Silhouettes" without any sub categories. Can someone tell me more about why this one exists? Thanks in advance for any assistance.
  7. Thanks! That's what I needed. I keep thinking Waymarking.com should include the grid row and number on their list of category or in the waymark title.
  8. Has anyone made a list of the Grid (A-1, A-2, etc) with the associated categories? Since you can only see 200 miles of a city, if I have forgotten whether I have found a waymark in a specific category, it would be great to have a chart so I can find where on the grid that specific category is and look at my found grid to see if it has been found by me. Hopefully that makes sense.
  9. Was experiencing similar problems as reported yesterday but could still log visits. Today I get: An Error Has Occurred Your request has resulted in an error. You may choose to retry your previous request. Or you may tell us what you were doing when this error occurred: And it truly does not log the visit and I have to start again.
  10. Thanks that helps! I think the issue was I did a search on 'pocket query' to see if the answer was already there and the results just showed pocket query. The results should probably append the sub-forum to the front of the list. I think that would help keep the forums clean - especially for people like me who lurk on the forums and rarely post. Maybe the moderator can delete the last few posts to keep the forum clean?
  11. Not sure this is the correct place for this but here goes... Every once in a while, I'll create a pocket query, select today as the day to run and hit submit and nothing happens. When you view the query in the list, it says NEVER ran. Other times, I think I do the exact same thing and the query runs right away. Anyone know what I am doing wrong? I know the site is on Pacific time and I'm not running this anytime near midnight so it should not be the wrong day of he week. It's very frustrating.
  12. Thanks chenks. Obviously if I knew the correct sub-forum, I would ask it there. Can you give me a hint? The title at the top of this says "Pocket Queries" NOT "intro" geocaching app - maybe that should be corrected? I apologize, I'm not a huge forum user so I don't know all the hidey holes for questions.

  14. I am a Premium member. Is there a special alert you can set - much like alerts for new caches in the area when a souvenir day is approaching?
  15. My understanding is that there are neighborhoods of documented Sears homes - why not start with these?

  17. Since this category has been discussed before, there must be interest in it. I believe you could build in requirements asking for providence. I've seen it with other waymark categories. How do the Lustron homes handle this?
  18. http://www.Waymarking.com/groups/details.aspx?f=1&guid=f25fe095-c3f7-4780-816e-bdc6060c1c66 I am recruiting members to make this a new category. From 1908–1940, Sears, Roebuck and Co. sold about 70,000 - 75,000 homes through their mail-order Modern Homes program. Over that time Sears designed 447 different housing styles, from the elaborate multistory Ivanhoe, with its elegant French doors and art glass windows, to the simpler Goldenrod, which served as a quaint, three-room and no-bath cottage for summer vacationers. (An outhouse could be purchased separately for Goldenrod and similar cottage dwellers.) Customers could choose a house to suit their individual tastes and budgets. What is a Sears house? Sears homes were 12,000-piece kit houses, and each kit came with a a 75-page instruction book. Sears promised that “a man of average abilities” could have it assembled in 90 days. The instruction book offered this somber warning: “Do not take anyone’s advice on how this house should be assembled.” The framing members were marked with a letter and a three-digit-number to facilitate construction. Today, these marks can help authenticate that a house is a kit home.
  19. Yes, they have acknowledged the problem. In this very thread, in fact:here But no, it hasn't been fixed. Thanks, Team Sieni!! I actually met Raine at the 2013 LV geocoin show and he seems like a really smart guy. I enjoyed the talk and I have one of his Raine Joker Tags traveling around so I'll cut him some slack. My degree is in computer programing but I have not spent a lot of time in doing this type of programming. I'll be happy to test things but I find it helpful to send print screens etc to an email address so having that would help. I did some quick tests and here is how I can recreate it. Using IE 10.0.9200.16798 I usually try to find waymarks based on cache locations because the geocaching.com site has the larger map. I pick a geocache in the area I want to waymark. Example: http://coord.info/GCX1DH Then FIND ...all nearby waymarks on Waymarking.com takes me to: http://www.Waymarking.com/wm/search.aspx?f=1&lat=33.480017&lon=-111.932967&t=6 which has the Seattle map and a title of: "Search Criteria: All Waymarks Within 100 mile(s) of N 33° 28.801 W 111° 55.978" if I click on the first entry 'Sphinx Ranch Gourmet Gift Market - Natural/Organic Food Stores' on Waymarking.com, the map is still of Seattle if I click on the category: 'Natural/Organic Food Stores', the map is still Seattle. It seems like once this happens, the map of Seattle stays. if I close all my instances of IE and paste in a URL such as: http://www.Waymarking.com/wm/search.aspx?f=1&lat=33.43267&lon=-111.50156&t=6,'>http://www.Waymarking.com/wm/search.aspx?f=1&lat=33.43267&lon=-111.50156&t=6, I have a 50/50 chance of getting a normal map. I sort of think this issue might be happening only when I go to Waymarking.com from within geocaching.com. Here is what I tried: Closed all IE windows, restarted IE and from IE (outside of geocaching.com), went to: http://www.Waymarking.com/wm/search.aspx?f=1&lat=33.43267&lon=-111.50156&t=6 and correct map showed up. In same IE session, I opened a new geocaching.com tab and found a waymark as described above from a geocache page and the Seattle map showed up. Hope this helps.
  20. Come on Groundspeak!!! This has been going on for months!!! Have they even acknowledged there is an issue or don't they read forums? It doesn't work in different ways on IE or FireFox. Fix it already!
  21. Last night I could upload pics. This morning I get the message: •An error occured in the File Upload Service. The requested service, 'http://bishop.Groundspeak.com:8000/FileService.svc' could not be activated. See the server's diagnostic trace logs for more information. Who do I report this to?
  22. Please fix the maps. At least acknowledge that you realize they are broke.
  23. I am finding that I can not assign a favorite point to a cache I found. I am a premium member. Any one else have this issue?
  24. By viewing my caching partners stats, I seethe lab icon. But I don't see the icon on my stats. I suspect if someone viewed my stats it will be there. Since this Mega just happened and I am sure everyone at Groundspeak is exhausted, I am willing to give this some time to get fixed. I have a screen shot of my friends stat page but see no way to upload here except by posting to my web page. I'm too tired from this past weekend to do this.
  25. I just did it off of the geocaching.com/BP page. It may because I had already logged them before I tried to get the gpx file. I just tried again and I still get the same file. Thanks Terrible Ts I downloaded the GPX after completing them today and it came through just fine... I got all 7 of them and then reworked the code and cache-type so it fit in with everything else in GSAK. -TWT Could access the lab page but could not download to iPhone5. Used green sheet from balloon.
