I am also having problems with the Message Center, as are many people it seems. I am running Win10, and have the most current versions of both IE11 (11.420.10586.0) and Chrome (52.0.2743.82 m) When I log into my account, I see the New Message notification, but when I try to view it (or anything in my Message Center) I get an error notice that advises me “Your browser is not supported.” I have tried on both browsers and get the same response.

So glad I stumbled across this info on setting map preferences! At first I thought it might be browser related, so I checked all three browsers I use and the map was the same in every one - no slider. I assumed its disappearance was yet another most unwelcome change with the big design overhaul. It seems that Groundspeak has elected to use Leaflet as the default map along with all the other changes introduced. And I use the word changes, not improvements, quite deliberately. I, too, have been struggling quite a bit with the new design and have not yet found anything that I would call an improvement. There are other things I have not yet found, either - still trying to figure out where they went. Thank heavens for forums.

I was very pleased to find this thread. I really like the inital suggestion, and am heartened by the responses from Moun10bike and Jeremy. I note that not everyone feels the Groundspeak response has been quick enough, but I do understand that development and implementation do take time. Having said that, such an enhancement can't come too soon! I am quite new to the game, but it didn't take long to learn the ugly truth about both cache inventory accuracy (or deplorable lack thereof) and the appalling survival rate of most trackables. I know the submission is about a method for removing ghost trackables, but the need for such a solution starts with the far-too-frequent disappearances. I feel like it's a minor miracle when I actually find one. I'm now fussy about where I will drop a trackable based on any given cache's history for trackable 'safety', resulting in my hanging onto them too long, and I am even more reluctant to release my own. (I bought the tags before I really understood the scope of the issue, and now wish I hadn't spent the money.) I agree that TB owners bear some responsibility for keeping up with their TBs, moreso than COs, to keep cache inventories accurate, but I also believe that a significant percentage of losses/missing TBs are due to ignorance on the part of many new cachers. (The rest of us newbies are the ones that buy TBs before we know the score...) Better education, and more ways of providing it may help alleviate the problem. Looking forward to the improvements!
