  1. And we all know how long it takes to fix things around here, so I thought that by putting it here it might help people to solve the wee fairy messages. However it doesn't seem to work on some of them, so goodness knows what language some of the little fairies are using.
  2. Problem Solved, see below: Secret Code Decryption Key A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H|I|J|K|L|M ------------------------- N|O|P|Q|R|S|T|U|V|W|X|Y|Z (letter above equals below, and vice versa)
  3. Good One Max, I just noticed it and was just looking for a 'report" button. The Photo goals denied that same waymark and commented it was SPAM! Please will someone delete it!!!!
  4. The different standards are creeping in again. Can I quote an answer in the Waymark vote " I don’t know how many times it needs to be said that simply taking a photo of yourself, or some object is not a valid photo goal for this category. There must be an action associated. ' How did Get "Arrested" pass the vote, sitting in a car and having a photo taken? Even the description says it all, read it! Its just taking a photo of yourself sitting in a car. Looks like different standards again. And to Scroogiell....love the idea of your paper aeroplane, if you have action photos that would be a good one, bring it on.... (but of course that's only my opinion).
  5. What does this mean? What is "grandfathered?" That waymark is still on the site and can still be visited.
  6. Oooops, your waymark is not such a perfect example afterall. Nothing unusual about having a photo taken with a flag. But it is 'weirdo' though, the number of Country flags in there when you specifically said "National Flags will not be accepted". ...even hand-held small flags when "they MUST be full sized! " Shouldn't you, as the waymark owner, manage your goal visits and delete those that don't comply? Or, should this Photo Goal be declined too, just like the others? And where's the ACTION?
  7. Please bring back the "Wear Your Best Suit" photo goal. I've just completed the goal and now I see it has just been archived. Why? Just because someone thinks its not daring or death defying enough?? As my log stated, "Everyone likes getting dressed up now and then, and these days we don't seem to get enough opportunities to put our glad rags on. " This is what photo goals used to be about, just doing something and having fun, didn't have to be an ‘eye rolling’ thing or a ‘Dare You’ thing. Getting really dressed up IS doing something, especially if it’s for an important occasion. The Past Activity page makes interesting reading, so many Declines then Approves then Declines again, for the same goal, it looks like no-one knows what they're doing! Wear Your Best Suit was one of those, approved and now gone, PLEASE bring it back for good!
  8. This is very sad news. Bruce was always a big name in Waymarking, we looked up to him as a mentor and friend. Bruce made a trip to New Zealand and left some waymarks in the South Island, many of which we have already visited. These places will have a very special memory for us now, and Bruce's name will always live on through the waymarks he created in our little corner of the world. Haere ra Bruce, we will miss you.
  9. Well, it is listed on my front page as Newest Waymarks but when that page is opened it's not showing there, so must be a little glitch that will sort itself out. Another of those Halloween tricks perhaps?
  10. Am I the only one that can see this Brisbane church waymark which was very recently listed as a new waymark? Opened it up to have a look at it and I notice the red writing across the top of the page saying that it has been denied! Never seen that before on a published waymark. http://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/WMWYMW_Good_Shepherd_Church_of_Christ_Brisbane_QLD_Australia
  11. So if I can get close enough, is this what I need to waymark? There's a walking track over in the trees so might be able to zoom in on it! Thanks.
  12. See that round thing out in the grass.....Can't get really close, this pic is off the banner on the Rotorua Airport website. http://www.rotorua-airport.co.nz/ The other one is just north of Napier Airport, not publicly accessible in the marshland.
  13. I'm not sure exactly what your category is about, and not sure what these 2 images are. Found these two Google images taken in the vicinity of 2 different airports, are they what you are wanting us to waymark in this category? Or are they just UFOs?
  14. OK, it is now tomorrow in the land that sees the sun first, although today there is no sun...BUT, we have the Forum link back on the Waymarking site! So, a very big THANKYOU.
  15. And are we going to get the Forums back on the Waymarking site at some stage? Currently, when we click on Forums on the Waymarking site, we are just getting the message: 404 Not Found.
  16. Please explain, is this category restricted to waymarks of the art works created only by the list of International Association of Astronomical Artists (IAAA)? Or is it intended to be a category covering any work of space/alien art by any artist anywhere in the world? I noticed the description was taken from their website so I assumed that the IAAA artworks were the only ones that we could waymark. Or is the category open to any Space related art by any artist that we might discover on our travels, eg. murals and other outdoor exhibits.
  17. I prefere #3, thanks We also like No.3 best, the AUS is much clearer. Thanks.
  18. The instructions for posting waymarks into this category clearly state: The category includes Australia, all Australian islands, Torres Strait Islands, Norfolk Is, Overseas and External Territories. There are 5 listed under Overseas they are all Status:Listed Places, 2 are on Commonwealth list and the others are on Overseas Places of Historical Significance list. So that answers the question, Yes, there are 5 places on the "Overseas" list.
  19. The Australian Heritage Sites Category is now in Peer Review. Please vote Yea and help us gain a new and useful category which has been missing from Waymarking for too long. Australia is a large open sunburnt country, from sandy red outback deserts to tropical green rainforests, to misty blue mountains, to long golden coastlines, it is full of interesting history and heritage. We would like this opportunity to proudly list this Nation's treasures for all the world to see. And you're all invited to come Down Under and enjoy them!
  20. The only link you need is this one: http://www.environment.gov.au/cgi-bin/ahdb/search.pl There is a State option, click on NSW for example (no need to fill out anything else) and it will show a complete alphabetical list of over 6000 listings, South Australia had over 3000, Tasmania has 2300 and so on. I found this link is the best way of looking up Heritage listings. There are other State Lists and a lot of other links, and some that just don't seem to work. This one is the best. You will see down at the bottom of the Search page, there are also links to further sites, so it's all there on the one page.
  21. Having lived in Oz we’re allowed to call Australia our second home (or are we “foreigners” too). On our holidays across the Tasman we enjoy seeing the many beautiful old sandstone buildings, the small heritage villages and other interesting historic places and we feel this Australian Heritage category should exist and will survive as there are plenty of keen waymarkers in Australia and plenty of visiting waymarkers from other countries (we know because they also visit our Aussie waymarks). We would support this category and it certainly gets our vote. Some of the Australian heritage places may be a little harder to recognise as there appears to be no official dedicated Heritage plaques on them. However the online State Heritage Registers will quickly show if they are listed and acceptable as waymarks into this new category. There are other various assorted plaques that are waymarked under Australian Historical Markers and these may overlap some heritage sites, but there are so many more significant and valued historical and cultural heritage places without plaques in this country that deserve to be waymarked. A Heritage Category in Waymarking could also prove to be a very useful guide for tourists visiting Australia.
  22. https://coord.info/GC6XFN3 Piranha's Railroad Relics You've set the image to be the cache page background. As such, it's working the way it should, and always has worked. If you want the image to appear inside the cache description: Help Center → Hiding a Geocache → Geocache Ownership: A Long-Term Relationship 4.4. Add images to your cache page http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=59 B. Did not want to put it in the cache description, just wanted to have the whole picture show to the sides of the cache description. Wasn't sure if the picture needed to be smaller. Thanks for your response. M. Yes, you will need to make the picture a lot smaller. You can experiment a bit with size, keep editing until you get it right. See our cache background https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC6KB4J_scoria-isnt-flat-central-plateau?guid=39ffdd0a-d04f-4c76-a859-7ce989c49e9a Is this how you want the background to look? Hope this helps.
  23. Does this look like same piece of art dated 2002? http://www.thierryalberti.org/Site_PERSO/Scenographies.html#4 Surprising what you can find on the internet if you poke around.
  24. HEAR, HEAR! K. I looked at it, added a little to it, and submitted it to Figurative Public Sculpture. There is no information on who the artist is and when it was installed, so we shall see what the COs decide to do. We respect every one of the reviewers that have looked at this WM, and hope the community will accept the decision of the COs, whatever it may be. I had hoped I could find extra information about the waymark on line, but I could not. Les Eléments de Thierry ALBERTI et Denis LUCASELLI From Google translation: Created in 2008 with the support of the municipality, under the impetus of a handful of founding members passionate, Font Romeu proposes a museum whose walls extend beyond imagination. Look up the website. http://museesansmurs.e-monsite.com/ And here on YouTube What an awesome place.
