That URL gave me an "502 Bad Gateway" error. A similar website I like to use: http://isitup.org/ For gc.com: http://isitup.org/geocaching.com

Fair enough. It was just one solution I came up with on the fly. If the form system were implemented, Geocaching.com would (hopefully) not let someone log the cache without correctly submitting the form. Really, I just want virtuals back. Me too, although I'd like to see controls on them so we don't get overrun with them put in utterly interesting places like the QR-code based game that must not be named here. In urban areas it would be more interesting to view a monument or point of historical interest and focus on it, rather than seeing it and then trying to find a nano while hundreds of muggles interested in the history wonder why that person is tying their shoelaces for the 14th time in as many minutes. Thinking about the form system, if the form rejected "Joe Blwo" because the correct answer was "Joe Blow" the person submitting would at least have the chance to realise they mistyped and try again. And much like geochecker, it could restrict the number of attempts to stop people making endless guesses. Maybe two or three goes per 10 minutes would make sense - if you get it wrong once take care to retype correctly the second time because if you get that wrong you'll be waiting 10 minutes before you can claim the cache. This sounds like a viable solution to me. I'm sure Groundspeak could implement stuff like this fairly easily, and I think it would be worth being able to create a virtual again. I wouldn't be against a find limit either. Like, you have to find so many caches (or virtuals) to be allowed to create one. Maybe it would be a premium member only feature to create one.

Yeah, the map *usually* works just fine (when fully loaded) on a computer, however I have had a lot of trouble using the map on iOS devices. Even if the icons are clickable, I usually still have trouble tapping on them. They're so small!

+1 HTML emails are really annoying.

Another vote for bringing virtuals back. It would be fine with me if the requirements were really strict so that there aren't too many. What if there were a more streamlined way to send a picture/info to the CO to prove that you completed the virtual? I could imagine the CO creating a form that everyone must correctly fill out to log the cache. Thoughts? -pancakes&bacon

Hello, Being new to the forums, I hope this isn't a duplicate post. I have noticed that selecting geocaches on the map can be really tricky. Half the time it won't let you click on the geocache, which can be really annoying. I end up just zooming in and out for a while until it lets me click on it. This problem is a lot worse on iOS devices (using the website), because it is already hard to tap on a little icon for a geocache. Thanks, pancakes&bacon

Oh wow. I'm sorry, I didn't know how well PQ's have developed. Thank you so much I think this answers my question.

I know, but I haven't found PQs to help me much . I would love a simple, easy way of doing it that doesn't take so much effort.

Wouldn't it be great if you could somehow specify a region on a map and send all to GPS? I hate going through one by one and sending them, when I can see which ones will be near me and see the descriptions on my GPS. One idea is to have a button you click on in the map settings, and then it will let you click and drag a square on the map. When you release, it will give you the download option for your GPS. Of course, there could easily be a, say, 50 geocache limit for each send. Thank you for considering this. pancakes&bacon
