Yeah, it's a bug. If I click on 'View Rubbertoe's Public Profile', it's supposed to take me to your Geocaching.com profile. Elias is working on it. It's been mentioned here amongst other places. SimonG.org - now with added blog!

You don't need all the maps along the route, but autorouting won't work too well. Your best bet is to upload the maps at your destination, and create a route in MapSource to get you there. SimonG.org - now with added blog!

Yep, thanks for a super-fun day. Well done Boysie for controlling himself in the presence of The Cat! Looking forward to the next one. SimonG.org - now with added blog!

It really depends on whether you want them to count as four separate 'finds' or just one. If you submit the whole series as a single cache, it's a multi. If you submit them as four distinct caches, each with their own cache page, you've got three normal caches and one multi, just like OS X. As for how you publish a cache without a location, just use nearby coordinates. SimonG.org - now with added blog!

Can I suggest we all wear stickers with our names on like we did at the Xmas Bash. That eliminated a lot of 'And you are...?'ing. SimonG.org - now with added blog!

quote:Originally posted by Mopar:I don't know. While discussing this earlier tonite, it occured to me that this feature would require gc.com to render each cache page each user. It was brought up that it would be no different then the TB icon, but in effect it would be. The TB is a semistatic item, and once added to the cache page, can stay there until it's removed, at which time a user is adding a log and rendering a new page anyway. If you added a "found" icon to the page, it would have to be rendered for each user. Surely it would be no different to the edit/delete options around your own logs?

I just came across this thread. You might be interested in this program, which does the same thing. SimonG.org - now with added blog!

Good one Michael! I don't think I'd have twigged if I hadn't decrypted the hint - the whole 'Phil & Liz' thing went way over my head! SimonG.org - now with added blog!

Hi Phil & Liz, I can understand Tim & June's concern about the dogs, but I can see how it could be turned to your advantage. Could you train your dogs to attack people who get close to the cache? Obviously you'd have to make it a 5 for difficulty. Alternatively you could train them to attack anyone holding a GPSr, whichever would be easiest. Oh, and I'd remove the reference to the dogs from the cache page so it would be a surprise when you got there. I think this would make a fun twist. SimonG.org - now with added blog!

This is a shame. I don't believe that any of your posts has been meant maliciously, or intended to stir up trouble - which is more than I can say for some of the people who post here! People seem all too ready to presume that a post was meant nastily, especially if they disagree with the opinion being expressed. This is frustrating, but can be avoided with a bit of thoughtful wording. If in doubt, throw in some smiley faces! I'd persevere for a bit longer if I were you, but I can understand the way you feel. Even if you leave the forum, though, please keep logging finds online. In doing so you provide valuable information for the owner and potential seekers, and I guarantee that the owner enjoys reading your logs! SimonG.org - now with added blog!

Try Multimap. You can't enter house number, though - just street and zip code. The coordinates are shown in the 'Map Information' section under the map. SimonG.org - now with added blog!

As geocaching grows, it will be regulated. Either we regulate ourselves or we wait for regulations to be imposed upon us. SimonG.org - now with added blog!

quote:Originally posted by Kouros: quote:Originally posted by jstead:That's not all - if I follow the link to the cache quoted in the post by Stuey/SimonG/Omally I only get to the Hide/Seek a Cache page! Now that is odd, as the links work fine for me! I think it's only the link in Stuey's post that doesn't work - a couple of HTML tags have somehow gotten into the URL it links to.

This thread used to have a lot more posts too. SimonG.org - now with added blog!

That's interesting - the <shudder> in my original post seems to have got lost in the transfer to the new forums, but it's still there where Stuey quoted me. Most strange. SimonG.org - now with added blog!
