    Otherwise, unistall the plugin and reinstall.

    That did it ;) Many thanks, MrB

    I guess it is the software equivalent of "Have you tried turning it off and on again?". :laughing:

    Hopefully it will also cure my problem with the ignore script as well. ;)

    It was nice to see that all the scripts were remembered after the re-install - though that may be another path that might need exploring if other people have problems in this area.

    Again, many thanks for your help. ;):P

    LordElph’s ignore script

    Many thanks for all your hard work guys! :D

     

    Back to the problem...

    Now at home, I have just updated to Firefox 3.0.6 and I have 53 topics ignored but there are a couple more that used to be ignored... :)

    Obviously, most of the ignored threads are not on the first page. For me, it would be acceptable to lose the oldest ignored topic when adding new.

    This is only gilding the lily - please take this as positive feedback - it is by no means a complaint!

    Cheers,

    LordElph’s ignore script

    Latest version v0.34 from last August is working for me with Firefox 3.0.6

     

    If you've ignored a lot of topics, its possible you've run into some storage limit with Greasemonkey.

     

    I may need to add some ability to only remember the last X ignored topics if that's the case....

    I am using Firefox 3.0.5 but have seen the problem for a while. Maybe I just like ignoring lots of threads... :):D:P

    Many thanks.

     

    PS: I just noticed that it seems to be a script on Edgemaster's site that is linked to on Graculus's resource page and this indicates version 0.34, but 17/08/2008 instead of 18th. Can anyone indicate what the differences are about?

    Unfound for a year

    The logs are all appreciative of the walk but now that the locals have all done it...

     

    But....what about anyone who comes here on holiday and who might want to do some interesting caches? Finds always tail off after the locals do them but I for one appreciate having the choice of doing some decent caches if I am visiting a new area - and not just caches and dashes.

     

    I second what allieballie says.

     

    I fully appreciate this and have no intention of archiving it. :)

    I was just saying that once the locals have found it there are very likely to be long gaps in between the finds. Hopefully the logs will remain appreciative and that is by far the best encouragment to leave a cache out there :D

    Letterbox Hybrids

    in United Kingdom and Ireland

    Posted

    The only way I could see to set a true hybrid would be to have a set of coordinates for the general area then bearings using compass for the final homing in. The only problem with that is that it would have to be classed as a puzzle cache and not a letterbox.

    I don't think that would be allowed actually. From the listing guidelines: "GPS usage is an essential element of geocaching. Therefore, although it is possible to find a cache without a GPS, the option of using accurate GPS coordinates as an integral part of the cache hunt must be demonstrated for all physical cache submissions." Coordinates which just lead to the general area don't meet this criterion IMO.

    There is this one that was only set last August, so they are obviously allowed.

    Free Garmin Geocoins question

    in United Kingdom and Ireland

    Posted

    Im with Ailbags on this one, despite seeing one go MIA already I have a Angel of the North that will be getting drilled ready to be dropped off this weekend.

     

    Now where do I buy those chains from...

     

    We are drilling ours as well and have just managed to get a load of small sized key rings from ebay (thought that the Key rings would be harder to remove than the chains from the TB's (although if someone really wants its even that won't stop them (cann't see the appeal of a drilled coin myself????)

     

    Any suggestions as to the best thing to use as a tag please? :blink:

    I have seen some small key rings with paper inserts but I would have thought they would not last very long. I have also seen laminated tags that had ripped the chain out.

    If I had engraving skills a small metal tag might do it... :blink:

    RX5720

    I have finally got maps working on my RX5720.Managed to get the cache details from gsak onto pda. Now i'm stuck how to get the caches overlaid onto the maps. Any help greatly received.

     

    I had some help setting it up but they are now on holiday!!

     

    Hi,

    I use cachemate for the details on the pda and GSAK to generate the relevant files.

    That is a GPX file to load into cachemate and a MM csv file with smart names.

    If this matches your setup I can be more specific - or someone else will be along very soon :anibad:

    Garmin E-trex

    in United Kingdom and Ireland

    Posted

    I had this happen on my yellow etrex about a year ago. I emailed garmin and asked about repairs. They said that they could repair it for me. I asked them to confirm whether there was a charge and they said it would be free. They actually sent me a brand new unit.

    Since other threads have commented on the variability of Garmin support, could you give the email address where you asked please?

    Cheers,

    Trevor
