That was the answer. The editor must not accept PNG anymore. I had to change image from PNG to GIF to make it work. Thank you.

I have tried to add a background image to other cache pages for my active caches. I can find no way to add a background image to any of them. Something is broken.

I am having a problem with getting a backgroud image to load into a yet to be published geocache listing. Each time I try to add a background image, I get an error message. Server Error in '/' Application. Runtime Error Description: An exception occurred while processing your request. Additionally, another exception occurred while executing the custom error page for the first exception. The request has been terminated.

I ran a search for the geotour attribute and the caches in an older geotour I participated in do not show up although the geocaches are still active. They just lost their attribute.

Sorry, I'm not requesting a new cache type with its oun icon, but something similiar to the way favorite points now show up on the map by highly favorited caches. A geotour symbol could be triggered by the geotour attribute, and when the geotour is over and the attribute is removed from the listing, the symbol would also be removed.

I think a group that invests thousands of dollars into setting up, placing great caches in amazing places in their area, and promotes geocaching through television reporting and advertising of their geotour is worthy of a temporary special icon for it's caches on the map. It would be very helpful to newer geocachers who are excited to learn the game, and to geocachers coming in from out of the area to plan their route to a new area and complete the geotour. To me, the convenience of a temporary icon would show support from the geocaching community. A temporary local event that has two geocachers show up has has it's own icon that temporarily shows on the map. Running searches, making lists, and plotting out routes seems very inconvenient, especially to the new geocachers we are trying to bring into the geocaching community, especially when a temporary icon, that you can just see on the map, would help so much.

It would be nice if the icons for the geocaches on the map, that are part of a geotour, could be easily recognised as part of a geotour. Perhaps the standard icons could have a ring around them or something so they could stand out from the other geocache icons on the map. Once a geotour is over, the icons could revert back to the standard icons. It would helpful in finding and planing a visit to be able to easily spot them on the map. Would something like that be possible? Thank you for any consideration.

Happy April Fools Day Dave !!

Where are you Dave ? Another year has passed and another April Fools Day begins ! Enjoy it Dave, "Carpe Diem !!" [:D]

I live 11.6 miles from this hide. I'm pretty sure nobody around here, or in Utah, really takes this challenge seriously.

I love the search page and use it quite often. The only thing that seems to be missing is a search for attributes in their negative states. That search would be helpful.

Thank you for your help Jochen ! I have wondered how to do this, and today I followed your steps and was able to create a banner. I love learning how to do new things !!

I don't own a smart phone, but I am able to go with another person to find the Adventure Lab caches. I was wondering if there was a way to view the starting locations on a map, a map similar to the app, on my home computer. This would help me plan my caching day. I still cache the old "pencil and paper" method of planning my day, writing down the coords to each cache I plan to visit. I know, I'm a bit behind the times....

I don't mind that adventure lab caches do not show up on the map. If they are what you are going out to look for, they are easy enough to find using the correct app. I do agree with 1 smiley total for completing the full lab cache adventure, not 3 or 5 or 10 per adventure. To me a lab cache adventure is no different than a Wherigo adventure or a multi-cache adventure. A cacher should not be awarded 1 smiley for finding a single stage of any of these types, only 1 smiley for completing the full adventure. I'm sure there are others, like me, that have failed to complete a multi cache or a Wherigo cache for one reason or another, and didn't receive a smiley. That is easy enough to live with, in fact, it could give you a reason to revisit the adventure again. I think 1 smiley per stage is ridiculous.

Nice job NASA and Groundspeak ! A message from Mars ! How cool !!

The news letter I received said... "will be" maybe an oops... Get ready to log the first interplanetary trackable! The trackable will be unlocked sometime on March 10. Keep an eye out for the update on our Facebook or sign up for alerts on the trackable page! Remember, space travel can be challenging; so because of that, the exact time of the camera calibration has not been determined.

16,000 + watchers of the tb page.... there will be a lot of emails going out sometime tomorrow, LoL !!

HQ message... "The trackable will be unlocked sometime on March 10."

There is now a image category for the future SHERLOC - WATSON images. I'm guessing NASA is getting close to testing the equipment ? https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/multimedia/raw-images/

This was not the tb code that we were discussing, but a different message and coordinates that were encoded on the parachute. There are many interesting hidden things associated with the space mission.

Eleven days left until landing.

Thank you !! I can't stop laughing !!!

I have seen events in areas that are limited to 20 person gatherings due to covid-19. They have been successful by scheduling one or two hour time slots per 20 attendees. First group leaves, next group arrives. This may allow you to have a successful event in your area without waiting for the 100 person threshold.
