  1. Does anyone know if there is some sort of FireFox/Chrome Greasemonkey script or plug in which will allow us to view the search results in a more logical list manner? In its current form, the search results page will only display 5 results without scrolling because of the massive banner and additional waste of space etc... In the past, with the more efficient results page, we could easily see twice the number of results and not have to look at so much wasted space. Thanks in advance for any links! Z..
  2. Working now from Server: WEB15; Build: Tucson.Main.release-20150414.Release_276
  3. BUG in nearby caches of type - Noticed this again this morning: Noted Server: WEB21; Build: Tucson.Main.release-20150414.Release_276 No amount of refreshing made any difference. Running Windows 7 x64 Pro w/IE 11, latest patches, cleared temp & cache.
  4. Bump this too as the Lacky's are completely ignoring the initial question.
  5. Bump - Let's keep this on topic please. There is another thread for complaining about the lack of functionality.
  6. Thanks for this but nowhere in the FAQ is there any mention of why the terrible formatting and excessive waste of space. Why are we long time paying customers being treated like we don't matter? I understand that the youth are glued to their pocket toys but why are we to suffer due to their fads? Please don't sacrifice what was a viable site for those of us who still use computers and GPSr's for the passing fad iphone crowd. Don't they use the app in the first place?
  7. Here are the major issues as I see it. I know you will get the tool working at some point but aesthetically, it's horrible. For this argument, I have my monitor set to 1600 X 1200 DPI on a Dell 20" Diag LCD, Internet Explorer v11, showing only address bar and menu toolbar. Total height of that is 3/4" 1) The page header (Dark Green with Geocaching logo, title and logged in user info: 1" 2) Page toolbar (lighter green bar below header):5/16" Total space dedicated to header and toolbar 1 & 5/16" Not a real problem - no change from previous site. 3) Search field element containing title, search field, Filter button and text field for # results and Map These Results: 3.5" Search field contains little to no information yet is given nearly twice the real estate as the header and toolbar combined. Can easily be reduced by 60% by eliminating wasted space and providing only the needed three rows. 4) Search results field, top row with column ids: 1/2" Search results field top row can easily be reduced by 50% 5) Search results body. Displays only 5.5 records, using 5.5" of space. 6) Icons are 9/16" high if found, 1/2" if unfound. This is a grotesque waste of space considering previous icons were 1/8" 7) Rows are now ~1/2" high to make up for the over sized icons? with a wasted full height row between records. This waste of space can easily be reduced by opting for a more reasonably sized icon, and reducing the separator row heights to no more than 1/8" or 3/16". Why not resolve this all by just adding the new features to the old search tool for us computer users and give the new look to those with tablets and phones? The technology is readily available for a dynamic website to detect the difference between browsers, devices and resolution/screen size. Geez.. I needed more coffee. Not Columns, ROWS. My bad.
  8. While I appreciate some of the new features included with the new search tool, and would like to use them once all of the bugs are ironed out, I just cannot fathom why the page is set up the way it is visually. I just did a basic search by typing in a GC code and was pleased that that is working today but why are the results laid out the way they are? The search window with the map underlay along with the header on the page take up more than 1/2 of the screen using a relatively standard screen resolution. In the space where one would normally see 9 records, we are now only able to view 3 unless we scroll. Why the drastic reduction in efficiency and waste of space? Also, why are the icons so massive? Resolution: 1280 X 1024 Wouldn't it make more sense to reduce the amount of wasted space taken up by the search field? Seems to me that that could easily be dropped down to a single column under the header so the search results could be maximized for better display. Being a Premium member, I can't test this but I have been asked to also point out that the new Advanced search tool is now PMO? So non PMO's are not allowed to search beyond 30mi?
  9. The API isn't working at all for me. Can't update GSAK, can't create a Certitude record..
  10. Please add the ability for us to receive notifications in plain text. The new HTML format is inefficient and a waste of resources. Please keep it simple and functional.
  11. I was one of the many opposed to those and am very pleased to see them gone but I will agree that they didn't have to make them disappear altogether, unless of course corp discovered something about them that was worse than we all previously had advised? In any case, I'm one of the old timers I guess. I use my GPS (not a phone), seek the hide and sign the log. Anything else really isn't geocaching to me. Not sure I'll spend any time looking into these 'Labs' either.
  12. I know that this will probably upset a few Wherigo fans but honestly; Now that you can no longer purchase a GPSr that supports Wherigo, perhaps Groundspeak should kill them off like Garmin has.
  13. OMG!! I can't help but to laugh!!! Her current log is (IMHO) FAR worse than the original one!!!
  14. Take it in stride Duke... I've been much harsher in my logs - In fact, I really PO'd the logger in question once with a comment about a particular use of the hint field. It happens. Personally? If I knew one of my caches was not cammo'd when it should have been, I would have fixed it. If one of mine was placed 40 feet off? I would have disabled it and fixed it immediately! Placed in 2009? you should have fixed that YEARS ago! 40 feet off is totally unacceptable for a traditional hide. It's your call but I really didn't find her log all that bad - yes I read the original but we just got home from a freaking awesome weekend so I'm only now replying. have fun!
  15. Noticing this here as well. Trying to view unknown caches placed by a specific user shows 'username' instead of the actual user and the error stated above. <!-- Server: WEB14; Build: Web.HotFix_20130821.1 -->
  16. Good for you! I wish I could give you mine. I think they are silly and wish I could get rid of them.

    Deleting logs

    I like this idea. C-MNM and I both had our logs deleted recently merely because we mentioned that we had to be careful of the syringes and a homeless encampment at GZ. Personally, I would want to know that kind of stuff before I started my search for a cache. As a CO of several caches unless a log gives away the solution to a puzzle or the hide, I'll always send a message to the logger and ask for a change before I delete a log. Unless it's a blank one anyway.

    Deleting logs

    When you receive the log deletion notice, it includes a link to the deleted log. I just copy it and paste it back into a new log with the same date with a note to the CO as to why I am reposting it.
  19. Sorry if this has been submitted before, I just couldn't find anything using the search tool. Please merge if an existing bug report exists. The description explains the issue. using the maps to select an area to visit, I'll zoom out to see the density of puzzles or other unknowns but when I do, the Wherigo icons turn into unknown icons and Earthcache icons turn into virtuals. This happens regardless of which maps I use and with both IE9 and Firefox.
  20. You say that like it's a bad thing? ;-)
  21. Same here, cache pages show <!-- Server: WEB07; Build: Web.HotFix_20121204.1 --> Tried Firefox and IE latest versions on Win 7 x64.
  22. Correct, the attributes are not available in edit nor were they available when she crated the event. It's as though the attributes are simply not available for event postings.
  23. My partner and I are hosting an event http://coord.info/GC3PQKA which is to be a Beach BBQ, swimming and Kayaking/Canoeing event yet we cannot locate nor add the desired attributes for may require wading, may require swimming etc... Where did they go??? TIA! Zop for C-MNM.

    It was fixed this afternoon. Is it still not working for you? I think it's fixed now but it wasn't when I posted the above frustration.
