it appears there isn't going to be an 11/11/11 caching day
Quietly relieved
-
No doubt this will be a Challenge, but will it be a Souvenir ?
Quite like the idea of Souvenirs, but Challenges... NO.
Just the incentive needed to go out for a cache on a cold dark evening; now the clocks have gone back.
-
My gadget of choice at the mo' is a HTC Touch 2, sensible sized screen and WinMo 6.5.
I have MM loaded for when it's needed but run Cachebox which uses free maps.
They're not always as detailed but they CAN do routing...
As WinMo is obsolete they can be picked up for about £60 now, it also doubles as a phone [
]I'm ready for the Android move with MM Tracker, a 3rd Party App for QCT files.
MM have promised an App before Xmas, but I'm not hopeful...
Cachebox is Geocaching Live enabled and on Android too...

Managing customer expectations would be a lot easier if you'd be more open with your customers can expect.
[...incidentally reopening these forums rather than that horrid replacement 'get no satisfaction' site is a good step...]
Same response tho', i.e. NOTHING!!!!
-
'Feedback' site working well for posting Bugs and Features then...
Should've been renamed LipService!!!
Little or no progress was made and limited Feedback was received against those they did start...
Top 5 requests...
Solve a Mystery, Under Review.
Nano cache size, Planned.
Support Wherigo, Planned.
New cacher Guidelines, Under Review.
3rd Party API, still waiting.
Ask for Virtuals, get Challenges.
Unless they Listen or at least give reasons for their actions it's pointless.

I sneak into the kitchen when it's quiet. They're free...

This sort of thing flares up from time to time in the forums. It generally comes down to a choice between:
/1/ Groundspeak is a really, really stupid and petulant organisation, run by extremely small-minded people with unbelievably thin skins, and bans people whenever they do anything remotely out of line, even if this massively annoys lots of ordinary paying customers.
SimplyPaul got banned for using the wrong avatar last year....

attention found a spoiler vid. better ban yourself.
It states "Spoilers included with permission of Owner"

GCz is broken since the last GS update. Waiting for fix from Tom.
-
Is the promised "public" API ever gonna be "public"? Or is it just gonna be a few applications here and there and that's it?
Our intention is to eventually make the API fully public, but there are many steps between here and there. We have accepted around 150 requests for access at this point, so although a "closed Beta" we are not putting up too many barriers to entry.
An update on the FEEDBACK site would be good, or is it only a one-way thing.
An update once a month was deemed too much!! How about an update when it's affected by a site update. ANYTHING!!!!!
-
What's the etiquette for finding an adopted cache.
I'm passing all mine on, can I now log them ?
PS I'm probably going to anyway, we all play the Game differently.
-
Surely the best option is for GS to add it as a size.
They've agreed to do it, but it's been in the PLANNING stage for over a YEAR.
They don't want to break 3rd Party Apps, the one's that were re-written to use the UNFINISHED API; also been waiting over a year.
Go figure...
-
If you are going to log a nano, can I ask that just a bit of common sense is used. I did one the other day where some twerp had put his stamp on the log - using up about six spaces!
When nanos have a pen in them I'll stop using my stamp.
-
I use something similar to this.
No need to mount/unmount all the time.
When you get off it's with you.
Can tuck in coat for extra security.

Bath sealant holds most things to most things.

A DECLINED Feedback entry confirms my suspicions...
Social pressure will force cachers to delete their unearned logs...
-
As I understand it a Challenge is available until it's archived.
Whereas a Cache isn't available until it's Published.
If you Complete a Challenge which then get's archived, do you keep the completion ?
If as I suspect the answer is YES, then this reduces somewhat the credibilty of Challenges.
-
It was "log 10 challenges from your armchair" (or words to that effect)
10, that's ridiculous.
5 is acceptible, well maybe 4. 3?. Okay 2. 1 it is then...
-
I prefer "Campaign Of Challenge Kancellation - UK Platform"
I'm in. If they don't sort this out pronto I'm archiving all my caches and moving them to Opencaching.org.uk
Disable them until they have, I have...
-
... Groundspeak HAS done something really stupid, and compounded it with arrogance.
If things stay the same I will be shifting all 50 of my Groundspeak caches to opencaching.org.uk in the near future. <snip>
I've only recently renewed my Groundspeak Premium membership, so I have a while to decide what to do about that.
Rgds, Andy
I cancelled mine when an Official App appeared and they started actively blocking any other software, but not supplying an alternative.
I've disabled all my caches and will shortly archive them if no API is forthcoming.
GS wont listn to their own Feedback comments, maybe ACTION SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS...
-
Indeed, I'm all in favour of them. But not here
There are 100,000 caches in the UK. If it bothers you, just ignore them
-
Just because it hasn't been solved yet doesn't mean it is unsolvable.When does a good Puzzle become a bad Puzzle. When nobody can solve it...
Caches are meant to be found...
There are 100,000 caches in the UK. If it bothers you, just ignore the one or two very difficult ones.

Who said it bothered me ?

I wont list them all but I've listed a few requests below.
I understand it was in the Planned stage on the Feedback site too.
Do we have a Yes, a No, a timescale ?
I think 7 years is ample time.
