I am extremely disappointed in the GS decision to eliminate benchmark-finding as a component of our game. I agree with most of the previous concerned comments about the demise, but am EXTREMELY concerned and upset that past benchmark logs and associated photos will be eliminated. Their elimination is of particular impact to me, as I have published about a dozen multi or puzzle caches that depend on BM logs and/or photos for important clues or for actual coordinates of stages. When these notes are eliminated, I will need to archive some wonderful geocaches that took me a long time to create and that have served as marvelous exposure and learning experiences to certain geocaching navigational techniques for other geocachers. It would be an absolute shame for the lessons associated with these caches to go up in smoke, and it would be downright unfair to those who have solved the puzzles or completed the multis to now have their good work eliminated from their active finds of active caches. I cannot understand the rationale for eliminating the past logs and photos—just as they are not eliminated when caches are archived. For those wishing to refer to them, those logs do remain available, even though they are more difficult to view than when the caches were active. PLEASE do not take such an action by eliminating our past BM logs and photos. It hurts everyone who has found and logged benchmarks, and in my case, it will decimate about a dozen of my prized owned caches.

Thanks to K13 and ecanderson for assistance. I've opened a Gmail account/email dedicated to geocaching.com and am finally getting notifications--the first ones since July 27th. Yes, Chris, Rise Broadband has a listing of blocked email addresses. After I unblocked several of them it still did not resolve the problem. But the new Gmail account appears to resolve this. I can't get geocaching.com notifications and messages on my standard email address but I'm getting them through the new Gmail account. Help me get further confirmation by sending me a geocaching Message so I have an additional test. Thanks.

Thanks, Chris. Our ISP is Rise Broadband. I will try to figure out how to use the address notification numbers you are providing me. Again, thanks for your suggestions/assistance. This is pretty frustrating after 15 years having no issues! And of course I do not get replies to this forum thread even though I have checked the "Notify me of replies" box--so I need to log on and look at the forum occasionally. Need to set up a Gmail account today.

Thanks for the suggestion. We have thought about doing that. We did look at our ISP site and reviewed all the blocked addresses yesterday. But we will try the Gmail route as you suggest..

Beginning in late July I stopped receiving any information from Geocaching.com, including the weekly "The Logbook"; announcements of new caches published in my area out to 50 miles from my home coordinates; notification of logs of any type on the 300+ caches I own; Geocaching Messages; pocket queries to my computer; Reviewer notes on my cache pages. I've checked my computer and iPhone and do NOT have geocaching.com blocked in any way. Can you suggest how I can get back into the information loop? Thanks.

On the map featured on all cache pages when I click to "enlarge" the elevations are presented as metric. I'd like to change the topo elevations from metric to English (feet). How do I do this? Thanks.

Thanks! I have tried but have been unsuccessful at the "copy" stage. This has been an ongoing 2-year struggle. I will try again to do the copy tomorrow, and hope that I finally am able to load in a Wherigo to my Oregon 300. I DO appreciate your step-by-step, and hope to solve this soon.

I have the same problem. I am using FireFox. My device is a Garmin Oregon 300. Thanks for any suggestions you can provide!
