[Map on laptop won't show up]

Same issue for me. Across Firefox, Chrome, and Edge. Looking at Console in Firefox I see

Uncaught ReferenceError: google is not defined

an attribute for biltema caches would be nice

Exactly what is a biltema cache?

Bonus caches, including bonus caches solved by completing an Adventure Lab, must ALWAYS be Mystery Caches.

Bonus caches, including bonus caches solved by completing an Adventure Lab

 

Umm. Is there any other type of Bonus Cache? And, while they may now always have to be Mysteries, there are those that are not. Does anyone at GCHQ talk to each other?

[BUG: Firefox will not copy the coordinates [solved]]

Just another entry in my list of "Is there anything Groundspeak can't break?"

Click coords with the right button and select "Ispect Element (Q)"

Open the selected "<button>" tag  from the arrowhead triangle.

Do the same to  the "<strong>" tag on the next line.

Now you should see a "<span>" tag. Right clik it and select "Copy / inner HTML"

Now you have corrected coordinates in your clipboard.

 

As you can see... it is not impossible

 

Yeah, this is super user- friendly

[Audit Logs to be retired]

Why does Groundspeak continue to give cachers less reason to cache.  I use Audit Logs extensively to see who's looking at my puzzles and how often.  This allows me to gauge how much interest there is in some of the more difficult ones. Has it gone un-found for six months because it's tough to solve, or because no one is interested. With audit logs I can easily make that determination by looking at how many times and how often individual cachers are looking at the cache page.  Without them. I have no idea as to whether i should leave the cache intact (thereby potentially blocking other cache placements) or archive it and allow something new to be placed in the area.

 

Privacy?! Get real, we're all using made-up names.

[PQs not including Favorite points in generated gpx]

No it isn't - retired missile defense integration and test engineer

[PQs not including Favorite points in generated gpx]

It's plain-text from database into xml. How difficult can it be?!

[PQs not including Favorite points in generated gpx]

Gee, imagine my surprise

 

Useful functionality - NO

More meaningless souvenirs - Of Course!

[PQs not including Favorite points in generated gpx]

I ran an old PQ, and when I got the page that says You can preview your search here, the Favorite points show. 

 

 

But if I use Notepad to examine the generated gpx file, I can't find any XML tags for Favorites; there are no Favorites listed.  Same issue with a gpx generated from a single cache listing that has Favorites.  The only place Faves show up in the generated gpx file is in the text of an individual log.

 

And, as would be expected, if I load the generated gpx into GSAK or c:geo, there are no favorites.

 

If I do a Refresh once the PQ is in GSAK, the Favorites get pulled in.  If I then use GSAK to create a GPX, I can read it into a new GSAK database and the Favorites are there. 

 

I can also bring this new file into c:geo from Dropbox and the Favorites are there.

 

There would appear to be an error of some sort in the Groundspeak gpx generation process.  Other cachers I know are experiencing the same problem

[Release Notes (Website: Solution Checker) - April 10, 2018]

Big deal. When you allow fuzzy coords and keywords (which certitude has been doing forever) then maybe I'll consider using yours.

[Benchmarks no longer listed on Cache Types I've Found]

I've noticed that benchmarks are no longer listed on the Cache Types I've Found section of the Your Statistics page of my profile.

Is this an accident, or was it dropped on purpose?  And, if so, why? I and others have been working on a challenge that requires one to find x number of benchmarks, but if they are no longer going to be listed, the challenge will be broken.

[Lists]

Do you use lists? Why or why not? How do you currently use lists? Why do you put caches on lists?

 

As a matter of fact I do, and often. Primarily to create distinct groups of caches I want to keep track of, such as solved puzzles I've not yet found, caches I need to address to meet challenges, caches in a specific geographic area that I have interest in (such as those with many Favorites). Once I have my lists I can then create pocket queries and view maps that have only the caches I actually care about, and not be distracted by all the low quality caches in which I have no interest. In short, I find lists to be quite useful. However...

 

Are there list related tasks that are tough to do?

 

Absolutely

1. I have to create lists one item at a time by clicking Bookmark and then going through more steps before I can add the next item
   
2. I can't create a list from the displayed results of a Search
   
3. I can't create a list from a Pocket Query
   
4. I can't create a list of the caches displayed on the map
   

 

And, while not entirely list related, I can't use dates in Searches. One should, at a minimum, be able to use Date Placed and Last Found as Search terms, with the ability to specify exact dates, before a date, after a date, or within a range of dates.

 

Integration of Search, Lists and dates are significant usability issues that should have been addressed ages ago; and certainly before recent changes such as the coloring and line spacing of Notification emails. Just my two cents...

[Uploaded route from .kml file ignores many .kml points]

I used Google Earth to create a .kml file that mapped the Los Angeles Gold Line. Examination of the file in a text editor shows it has 144 points. When I uploaded this route, the map that was displayed did not match the .kml file it was created from, and the entry for the route in the table on the GPX, KMZ or KML Upload Information page showed the route had only 14 points. What gives?

[Wherigo on android]

Well, sometimes. I've found Wherigo caches that the CO has included unlocking the cartridge and logging it on the Wherigo site as a requirement for logging the Wherigo cache. No Wherigo site log = Wherigo cache log deleted.

[The new search function]

Oh, I get it, if we WANT to find something, we should leave the search box blank. Yeah, that's intuitive.

[If it ain't broken, don't fix it.]

Let's see:

 

Find and display an archived cache: Old search New search (can't find it, but thousands of caches near it do)

 

Search for caches found by a specified user: Old search New search

 

Search for a specific GC# and get only that cache returned: Old search New search

 

Search for a specified cache type (e.g., webcam) in within 500 miles: Old search New search (30 mile max)

 

Page contents easily read by folks over 40: Old format New format (difficult to see light green number of finds on slightly darker green background. I'll usability over aesthetics any day)
