I don't see the IP locator on my machine at work, but it is a bit of a cripple. Maybe from home. The blue box that used to have a map of Green Lake has a tab that says "identify" and brings up five German sounding caches. Hmmm. Yep, looks like they're in Germany. Vurry odd.
It's actually near Brussels. That what I first got. Then, after a Ctrl-F5, I go thrown somewhere near Portland, Oregon.
My connection is out of New York!

Bienvenue dans le monde du géocaching!
Quel est ton but premier? Le géocaching seulement? Ou, tu veux l'utiliser en randonnée, en voiture, en bateau?
As-tu des buts secondaires?
Quel est ton budget?
Plein de questions pour mieux cibler ton achat!

The code release is completed, and these changes are live. Please report in this thread on any odd behavior which you think may have been caused by this update. Thanks!
Hey!
Looks like this update fixed the foreing accent/special charaters problem in the nofication email!
Yay!
Thanks. -
Release Notes - Geocaching.com: August 19th, 2008 Release
(...)
We also have added PICLENS Cooliris functionality to cache pages for those of you who are interested.
I must admit, I didn't know picLENS/CoolIRIS.. this is a very cool tool/feature! Thanks.
-
We've got an open case for the email problems and expect to have a fix for the next release. This is a helpful screenshot though, thanks.
Thanks for the info and I'm glad you like the screenshot!

Any updates on the
problem for special/international characters in notifications?It's funny how the title and only part of the body is not showing properly but it seems ok a little bit futher down in the body
Thanks!
-
I am accessing cache pages on a Mac using Safari and Firefox and on a Windows XP laptop using IE and Firefox, and the pages look the same on all of them.Here are 2 pictures of the same web page. 1 is from IE7 and the other is from Firefox.
There appears to be a distinct difference in how the browsers render the cache page.

Do you have a firewall blocking images/maps?
Or any GreaseMonkey scripts that don't work anymore?
-
Two things I've noticed, maybe already addressed:
1) 'archived' icon used for 'maintenance' icon (?)
see last two entries here.
Actually, one is for Archived (Jan 27) and the other one is for UnArchived (Jun 26). If you hoover your mouse over both
you will see that. There are no maintenance logs in that page. -
You are welcome but in the future please understand that we see them all and are aware of them even if we do not acknowledge the problem individually.Ok. Thank you!
I understand.. but, this is MY most annoying problem and it was also reported by 2 other users. A simple "Notification Special Characters problem: working on it, but not top priority at the moment" would have been nice.
Thanks for reading, and mostly, replying!
-
Ok. Thank you!

Once again, if I didn't call you out by name it isn't because I didn't read or ignored your comments/bug reports. Thank you all for continuing to keep us informed!
I don't want to be called by name, just an acknowledgement of the special characteres in notifications ( & ), French characters ( é à è ô) and other "Nordic" characters (Æ, Ø and Å, æ, ø and å) showing as "& # 2 3 3" (without the spaces) in email titles and bodies.
Special characters in notifications email title and body shows "& # 2 3 3" (w/o the spaces) instead of é (for example) since the 22nd.
I reported that on page #2.. the problem is still there for French charaters (à è ì ò ù é ê â î ô û À É ë ...) and still no news about it!Nordic Letters is not shown rightAfter the upgrade, the Nordic letters, e.g. Æ, Ø and Å (æ, ø and å) is not shown right in the automatic generated email to owner of a listing. It is also wrong in the Groundspeak Weekly Notification mail.
Examples (added space between & and # for the letter code to be shown here on the forum):
ø are shown as: & #248;
å are shown as: & #229;
æ are shown as: & #230;

Having the total number of PQs is much appreciated, but I really don't see the point of numbering each one.Although I like the numbering of the PQs, it added one column and now all my PQ names are on 2 lines (not pretty).Agreed! But, I have a "Prime Suspect" GreaseMonkey script () that lets me know.. still works well.
I suspect that it will only lead to more "I can only create 39 pocket queries!" threads here in the forum.Having the total number of PQs is much appreciated, but I really don't see the point of numbering each one.But, incase someone wonders it's 39 PQs + 1 "My founds" PQ per week = 40..

Both preview icons should be working correctly now. The initial map will still start at Green Lake but it should jump to your correct location.
Please continue to let us know what you think of the site. As always - the more info you can provide the better. Happy Caching!

It does work now! Yay! Thank you.
Now, could you remove the dot after the newly added numbers as it is already separated by a vertical line? Although I like the numbering of the PQs, it added one column and now all my PQ names are on 2 lines (not pretty). I get around it with the Ctrl-Minus in FF3 which brings everything back on one line.

This was a problem in the name of cache owners in GPX files (that seems resolved now).
-
Ok, thanks!There was a problem it has been fixed. -
Cacho O'Plenty, you almost remembered correctly. All PQs are scheduled.
GC.com processes newest PQs first.. but, I have 5 PQs, that ran withing the same 10 minutes last week. Out of the 5, only 2 got in.. the other 3 should have followed.
It can only mean that a lot of new PQs have been scheduled to run today.. or something..
-
Thank for your reply WeightMan. I ended up copying my other 2 missing PQs and they got through just fine too.
I was mainly asking because someone else I know had the same problem and it took him a while to understand how to setup PQs and he doesn't want to do the whole copy/duplicate thing.
-
I only got 2 of my 5 PQs today.
They all got in fine last week at approximatly the same time.
Anyone esle using GMail have that problem? Trying to figure out where's slow down!
I did get other emails. And, I also copied one of my existing PQ (that didn't get in this morning) to create new one, ran it and it got in within minutes!

What about existing caches? (in Canada Post mailboxes)If you plan on attaching a cache to Canada Post property, be it mail boxes, pick up boxes and such, please provide the permission from the local post master or your cache will not be listed. Recently I spoke to my post master, attaching anything to Canada Post boxes can be considered mail tampering and is a Federal Offense. Personally I would not want to spend jail time over a micro cache, but I have been getting more and more of these. If you own the mailbox that is at the end of your driveway, from what I understand, this is your property and you can attach a cache to that box. But if it is a community mail box that is owned by Canada Post, then no. All it will take is a neighbour to complain that strangers are poking around the boxes to cause a problem with a cacher being charged. If they don't have a mailbox there, then they should not be poking around the mail boxes. With the amount of identity theft and cheque theft, do we really want to get mixed up into that over a cache?
-
ok! Thank you for your fast reply!

Has the "special characters" problem been forgotten? or may be postponed to another release?
Thanks.
-
Just a quick note about these cache description problems you're all having - we're still working on solutions to each of the issues (special characters, fonts, image alignments etc.) so please be patient and I'll update you as they are fixed.
Please don't edit your caches beyond posting a note to let people know certain elements will be missing for a little while. We are working hard to get these fixes in but the ubbtextbox (not htmltidy) is very uncooperative at the moment.
Hmm.. you mentionned special characters, so I guess that would be the problem reported here..
I'm surprised that a major release like this one did not correct the "special characters" problems like these:
- In GPX:
- In Pocket Query preview:
-
Ok.. I closed my FireFox and restarted it and it works fine now. Is it coincidence or my FF was the problem?
Edit: Typo
Thanks.
