  1. Yes, planning trips with a basic member. The member in question chooses not to log premium caches. I can open each page individually, but it would be a lot easier if such information was instantly visible on the map, as it used to be.
  2. Rather than trying to achieve consistency between the app and the website, I'd prefer to see some indication of whether a cache is Premium Only or not. This is one feature I really miss.
  3. I've noticed one apparently new inconsistency between the Android app and the website: on the app the symbol for an owned cache is a star in a gold circle, on the website it's in a green circle. Not a major issue, but certainly noticeable.
  4. Welcome to the forum. I was speaking to a cacher yesterday who's got one. I don't know anything about them myself though. If you can get over 3000 caches in 9 months, you're certainly not a newbie anymore! I'm only on 2300 odd after 5 years!
  5. Ding to Beach hut, and a consolation ding to me N u. Other possibilities include Barbados/Bridgetown, Belgium/Brussels, Luxembourg, Monaco, Singapore and South Korea/Seoul.
  6. Name five countries of the world whose capital city begins with the same letter as the country. Just to clarify, I'm referring to the English names of countries and cities.
  7. I got a feeling of deja-vu when I read this, and looking back I asked the same question last year. I shall therefore refrain from answering!
  8. At a recent event, someone was telling me that they'd recently completed a series which had one cache in every county in England. Unfortunately I don't recall what they said the series was called. Anyone know what this is?
  9. Hal-an-tow, the problem with your method is that it adds me and my true love on every day of Christmas. Although they (we?) are mentioned 12 times, I think it is safe to assume that there is only one true love, and certainly only one of me. So revising your incremental method gives Day 1 = 2 Day 2 = 2+(2x2) = 2+4 = 6 Day 3 = 6+(3x2) = 6+6 = 12 Day 4 = 12+(4x2) = 12+8 = 20 Day 5 = 20+(5x0) = 20+0 = 20 Day 6 = 20+(6x2) = 20+12 = 32 Day 7 = 32+(7x2) = 32+14 = 46 Day 8 = 46+(8x9) = 46+72 = 118 (assuming 8 milkmaids, 8 cows and 8 three-legged stools) Day 9 = 118+(9x2) = 118 + 18 = 136 Day 10 = 136+(10x2) = 136+20 = 156 Day 11 = 156+(11x2) = 156+22 = 178 Day 12 = 178+(12x2) = 178+24 = 202 Total = 928, plus me and my true love = 932. If you ignore the milking stools, the last five days becomes Day 8 = 46+(8x6) = 46+48 = 94 Day 9 = 94+(9x2) = 94+18 = 112 Day 10 = 112+(10x2) = 112+20 = 132 Day 11 = 132+(11x2) = 132+22 = 154 Day 12 = 154+(12x2) = 154+24 = 178 Total = 808, plus me and my true love = 812 as stated earlier. Boggin's Dad, have any of us hit the target yet?
  10. Some suggestions: Hidden comments within HTML White text on white background Characters within the description that are a slightly different font/size/bold/italic Hidden images, or within other images Hidden within trackable descriptions Within the related web page In an early "write note" comment from the CO That's a quick list of the top of my head - I'm sure there's plenty more.
  11. All reviewers are awesome! Seriously, as a wikipedia administrator, I know what it's like to do a boring on-line roll that brings much criticism and little praise, so well done to you all.
  12. I also came up with 808 (assuming the eight maids are a-milking one four-legged beast each), but I'll add me and my true love and say 812.
  13. Yes, obviously it's at the given coordinates. But what will I find when I get there? A pub? A picnic table? A lay-by? Yes, I could look it up on Google maps, but if the EO wants me to attend, why not just tell me?
  14. A newly published event I've just been looking at has the following description: This leads to several obvious questions: 1) Where exactly is the event? I assume it's in a pub, but it doesn't make this clear. 2) Morning or evening? Evening is more likely for meals, though I've held some successful breakfast events, and the leading zeroes in the times makes me think of the 24 hour clock. 3) Is food available? Do I need to pre-book a table? I suspect that this is a regular meet-up point for local cachers, who are "in the know", but it does not seem welcoming to outsiders. Please, when writing descriptions, bear in mind that not everyone is familiar with the area, or your regular events! </mini rant>
  15. 37 is correct. Although there are some other plays which are disputed, or considered lost, the definitive list according to shakespeare-online.com is as follows: A Midsummer Night's Dream, All's Well That Ends Well, Antony and Cleopatra, As You Like It, Coriolanus, Cymbeline, Hamlet, Henry IV part 1, Henry IV part 2, Henry V, Henry VI part 1, Henry VI part 2, Henry VI part 3, Henry VIII, Julius Caesar, King John, King Lear, Love's Labour's Lost, Macbeth, Measure for Measure, Much Ado About Nothing, Othello, Pericles, Richard II, Richard III, Romeo and Juliet, The Comedy of Errors, The Merchant of Venice, The Merry Wives of Windsor, The Taming of the Shrew, The Tempest, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Winter's Tale, Timon of Athens, Titus Andronicus, Troilus and Cressida, Twelfth Night
  16. Oops - looks like I'd missed that step . Thanks - hopefully I've now locked it properly.
  17. Sorry, this seems to have posted twice for some reason.
  18. Right - having found SideTracked Stratford upon Avon this morning, here's another higher/lower question: How many plays did Shakespeare write (according to common consensus)?
  19. Is there any way I can get rid of the feedback icon on the new dashboard? It's not too bad on a full-size PC monitor, but on a small mobile it fills a large percentage of the screen. I've left feed-back, but it still remains. Cookies are enabled.
  20. The problem is with the PGC image, not Geocaching. It's been reported at https://project-gc.com/qa/?qa=15495/message-authenticate-dynamical-picture-geocaching-information Despite my comments that I didn't have problems, it seems to have affected me as well.
