The HERB5

YES Funny that there are lots of 5yr+ basic members still happily enjoying the site. Was that a personal dig, how constructive. I thought this forum was about how to make the experience MORE enjoyable, for ALL... PS I have been a PM in the past.

YES Not at all. But we are not going to bend over backwards to develop a feature for those who do not provide any support for the site, particularly when that feature has such a low demand. I seem to remember in the past WE could give support by placing caches.

My guess is it's being scraped. Good luck with geting an update...

How about a 'cheat' of geocachers... The idea is that you find the cache and you sign the log. Not someone else finds the cache and you sign the log. JOKE, I'm JOKING, don't bite....

YES

Exactly, look at Northants and to a lesser extent Beds. I would estimate half the caches are MO. I feel too high a percentage could be detrimental to the sport/pastime...

It all depends on what message GS wants to send out. Are Basic Members EXPECTED to go Premium or go away. If so, let the annoyances continue. If they ARE part of a Community then GS shouldn't actively frustrate that community... IMHO cachers should WANT to become PREMIUM for positive reasons.

Not if you're NOT a Member. I understand the reason for showing PM caches as the incentive to spend $30, that's business. But once that decision has been made I think their should be an option to hide PM caches in your Profile. Becoming a PM should be about wanting the Features and not about removing annoyances...

Similar to ignore users caches...

Once I've done a few of someones caches I then make a point of finding ALL of their caches, I then consider them OWNED.... Maybe we could get their avatar on our Profile Page if we succeed in doing this... Dunno how this would work but I'm sure someone may be able to fill in the gaps...

Just showing how easy it is to grab the info; it's not just a case of hiding the Profile page... And for people using the likes of GSAK et al, still available even if GS block it on the Site... Guess I'll be the first to ask: What are you trying to say here? Personally, I like the fact that this information is available. Are you objecting to it, or supporting it? --Larry For the record. I'm against it...

other caches hidden or found by this user Follow the link off any cache page... http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?ul=melissalep

At last, we agree on something. Think we disagree on just about everything else tho'...

If you buy any Official App, you get ALL features with Basic Membership.The API is the API; Basic and Premium get different levels of access. It's NOT a Premium feature. And I'm happy with that. It is for me, how many new caches a day do you have ?Me, I get less than 3 a day. Why use a PC to load data to your GPS, when you can do it all on the GPS ?No, the API is for ease of use which entices more Users.

It wasn't personal, it wasn't rude, it WAS factual. Excuse me ? Top 5 requests from the Feedback site. Solve a Mystery, Under Review. Nano cache size, Planned. We've been asking for EIGHT YEARS.... Support Wherigo, Planned. Last update was in 2010 for the unsupported WinMo. New cacher Guidelines, Under Review. 3rd Party API, still waiting. Making empty promises isn't respectful.

Since when ? Free 3rd Party Apps are Free 21 caches a week is plenty for me. It's taken me over 5 years to get to 1000... It's the journey not the arrival....

We had voting and discussion on the Feedback site. However, we were giving the WRONG answers.

Basic Members can only download 3 Full Caches a day, which is fine. When our limit is reached could the message window say WHEN we can download again ? This would stop us continually trying and failing...

Thanx for that, setup now.

And if there's an Owner Maintenance log could the flag be optionally cleared ? Many caches ARE maintained but the flag remains...

I presume you would want your logs hidden in Cache Listings and PQ's too.

How true...

Create a new geocache Just below the map is says "Select State/Province" with no default...

When creating a cache it asks you which Country and State/County, WHY ? From the coords it knows where the cache is... This is especially confusing when you're in a crossover area. And annoying when a Reviewer sends a cache back saying it should be in ...... Maybe it would be possible for GS to fill the fields in when it assigns the Yahoo GeoPlanet WOEID..

When a suggestion is SUBMITTED or DECLINED could we have two sub-Forums where these suggestions are moved to ? It would then be easier to keep track of what's going on...
