Same here. I accepted both "Meet the Lackeys of Groundspeak" and "Washington State Ferry Ride" before they were toasted, and now I can't get rid of them. Most annoying.
I'm still trying to figure out the difference between this and this. If you're going to reintroduce elements of Waymarking back into the geocaching website, why not just merge the two sites and be done with it?
I'm using the latest version of Firefox. No icons in Maps Beta. (I assumed Groundspeak had made the process of mapping caches a premium-member-only feature, which would kind of suck, but now it sounds more like a bug.)
