  1. There are interesting old buildings that we find that have been boarded up. They were once a large important building, but are now sitting there waiting renewal. Sometimes it is possible to find a category, sometimes not. Maybe a help category? When you find something, but don't know what to do with it, create an entry and have the managers help you find a place for it?
  2. How about a link on the right column of the home page to see the top 100 way markers and their stats, like they have on ebird the Cornell Lab birding site. They have it for every county. In this case you wouldn't need to break it down by geographic area. Oh, and when you click to update your own stats it always blows up but it does update and you can see it by reselecting profile, then stats. These are pretty rudimentary stats, with web pages generated by some scripts that I run occasionally. The home page already contains links to lists of Waymarkers with over 500 postings (currently 207 known) and Waymarkers with over 1,000 visits (currently 189 known). There is manual sorting involved to order the lists, because there is no published API to access the data programmatically. This fixed ordering will fall out of date until I update the pages each time. The stats don’t become completely unusable, because you can still see all the changes around your stats banner to see roughly where you rank. I presume that by "click to update your own stats”, you are refreshing or reloading the web page. I don’t recommend doing this frequently (many times a day), because the web page updates every stats banner on the page which, from my view of how long this full refresh takes, taxes the Waymarking server heavily. I don’t find that refreshing the stats list page or clicking a banner to get to a user profile ever causes a crash though. I’m not sure what “blows up” for you. 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: This happens when I click on button 'update my post statistics now' on the stat page " The home page already contains links to lists of Waymarkers with over 500 postings" not my home page. the only stats on the home page I see are country/region counts Are there different versions out there? I have an Apple/Mac OS/X safari
  3. The stats banner is one thing still not working on the site. It is not working on profile page either. I have been out of the country for a few weeks. My collector scripts were not running to completion, because of Waymarking pages failing to load on a timely basis. With the stats banner not working the top waymarkers / visitors lists are pretty useless. I got discouraged and decided to let the old pages just age. Now that the web site is supposedly more responsive, I will try to update the lists and pages again, sometime soon. I'm just returning from a second European trip and getting back to updating Waymarking Stats. I discovered a change in the Waymarking Stats banner made by Groundspeak and was able to get the lists of leading waymarkers and visitors functioning again. All other pages have been updated as well. Enjoy! How about a link on the right column of the home page to see the top 100 way markers and their stats, like they have on ebird the Cornell Lab birding site. They have it for every county.

  4. Independent Diners would ignore that they are different.
  5. What about Exotic Foods, any restaurant specializing in food outside of the native region for that food. There must not already be a category for the food. Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Mexican have categories. Restaurants included could be Indian, Korean, Caribbean, Eastern European...This could include TexMex but NOT in Texas, Cajun not in Louisiana, Amish not in Pennsylvania. Italian could be included but Not listed in both Pizza category and exotic (pick one). Fixed places not mobile carts or movable structures.
  6. I was surprised to not find these as categories.
