This new search has some cool features but man is it lacking in others.
Searching for events is a hassle. You better know what 30 mile radius it is in.
Also I like to bring up the map and not be restricted to the 30 mile circle of caches. Even the phone app has a feature where you can repopulate the screen if you "drag" the map to a different area. I know different people cache differently but I like to see the big picture on my map. If I am on a 100 mile road trip I sure as heck don't want to have to pull up 3 or 4 different 30 mile circles so I can see every cache. I live in Oklahoma and things are pretty well spread out. #0 mile circles are going to be hard to deal with when you are jusr persusing the map for fun or for trip planning. I know you can do a route but some of my routes are not quite a straight line!
Amen to that, I live here in Muskogee and my search of 30 mies is not good at all. If I want to do a trip to OKC is worthless spending all the time doing this search. I hope they fixed it soon or when May Rolls around I won't be renewing my Membership.

Lackies, what is up with the new home page? Where is the old "Play->Find a Cache" option?
Before, I could click on Play, Find a Cache, and enter the cache title, and be presented with all the caches of that name.
There does not appear to be any way to do that now. If I click on "Add a filter", and type in the cache title in the "Geocache Name Contains..." field, it says "Oh no, a DNF!"
The only way to get it to work is to add "United States: California" into the "Search Only In..." field.
Before, I typed in just the cache name, and it worked fine. Now, I have to go to three different screens, and type in more information! This should be getting easier, not harder!
Please make the old search page available again.
I don't mind paying for a membership for something that I like to enjoy and I use to forget about those military deployments, It used work fine, Now it is much more work and a small amount of information in return. I like the way it was with the full state list. how do I know if theres new caches 100 miles from me if my search only allows me to search for a maximum of 30 milesat a time. To just search for 30 miles is a waste of time. if they don't bring the old way back I won't be renewing my membership in this coming May.

I am very disappointed with the new features, while it has some good ones it also have more bad ones. one thing I do miss is new ones in the State I do base my time on events around the state With the New featured 30 miles max is not going to make it. if something don't give up soon I might not renew my membership. Please fix it or go back to the way it was before.

What other stupid idea is on the table ? Change the search area to 150 miles instead of 30 miles, that's worthless, remember geocachers like to travel. Why should we pay for a service that is NOT making your clients happy? We don't need "Not found by" change it to "Found By". Geocachers talk about the caches they found. Just imagine if 5000 clients decide not to renew their memberships? That is 149,950.00 dollars that you won't see.
