+Haggis Hunter Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Groundspeak have introduced more changes onto GC.com, although I probably haven't seen them all yet, most appear to be beneficial. One that I am wondering about is cache pages having bookmark lists that are on advertised on the page! This cache has two bookmark lists advertised on it's page. What I am wondering is can others see these bookmarks. Both bookmarks belong to me, any other caches that are on my bookmark lists I can see the bookmark advertised on the cache page, but I don't know if other people can see it or not. So feedback would be appreciated please. You can also use this thread to talk about the changes? Quote
markandlynn Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Yours was the second one i looked at after my own and i can not see your bookmark list on the silver thread cache. Have a look at this cache its listed on two of my bookmark lists. Three threads now on the changes all on the front page of this forum. Quote

Wouldn't it be good that if you had a bookmark list ticked for public viewing that it would get advertised on the cache page just like your own one. Sorry for starting a new topic on the changes, hadn't noticed them probably due to titles. I suppose we can just talk about the bookmarks on here then?? Quote

Both bookmarks belong to me, any other caches that are on my bookmark lists I can see the bookmark advertised on the cache page, but I don't know if other people can see it or not. Here's how this works.... The link back to a bookmark list from a cache page is controlled by the list owner. Go into a list in "edit" mode, and there's an option... "Make this list public (show on bookmarked listings)" We now have two different concepts: "sharing" the list, and "making it public". When the changes first came out, this "public" option was enabled by default. Now it isn't, so each list owner will have to go and check it if they want that facility to work. Hope that makes sense. -Wlw. Quote

+Haggis Hunter Posted October 18, 2005 Author Posted October 18, 2005 Nice spot wlw its not in the official announcement or not clear at all Yeah, spot on, now edited my bookmark lists. they should show up on all of the caches that are listed now? Where is the official announcement?? Quote
markandlynn Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Where is the official announcement?? Here. Just checked yours are now visible. If you look at this cache you will see what happens when multiple bookmark lists hit the same cache. Shows how it could work. That must be a very good cache look at the number of top 10's it makes !!

+Haggis Hunter Posted October 18, 2005 Author Posted October 18, 2005 Thank you for the links. I like the idea that when there is more than 3 of somthing, boomarks or TB for a cache, that it provides a link to a new page. Some event pages were taken over by TB listings. So far I like all of the changes that I have seen. Quote

+wildlifewriter Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 I'm glad that HH brought this up, because I thought that the "publish" option for my lists was enabled. (And it was!) After reading this thread, I checked back and they had been disenabled* again. -Wlw (* - It's a word if I say it is.) Quote
markandlynn Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Hmm how long will it be until we a see a bookmark list titled my 10 worst caches or puzzle caches i have solved i hope they put a report this bookmark listing option in there somewhere. More work for the reviewers i think Quote

More work for the reviewers i think I had already thought about that option, you could get your own back by making one up yourself, and putting that persons caches on it?? I think a report button would be good, when they first came out, i had feedback calling myself a hypocrit, true or not, I think it wasn't a nice thing to put on as feedback. I ended up deleting that whole list, mainly due to that feedback Quote

More work for the reviewers i think I already have a list of "Lame Holiday Caches in Ireland" but it was withdrawn from share, after peer pressure on another forum. Apparently people felt that it wasn't fair to single out lame holiday caches, just because they were holiday caches and, er... lame. There's some new HCs appearing in Ireland recently (after a welcome absence) so I'm thinking of reinstating the bookmark list, now... -Wlw. Quote

I'ld be delighted to discuss this with you if you get in touch with me privately. As far as I am aware I have not let a Holiday Cache fly free in Ireland for some time, and if one has crept past it needs addressing. Thankyou, Eckington Quote

As far as I am aware I have not let a Holiday Cache fly free in Ireland for some time, and if one has crept past it needs addressing. By all means, if you wish. However, my beef is not with those who review such caches - it's with those people who place them in the first place. -Wlw. Quote

+2202 Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 I believe its a good idea, but the bookmark list has already obscured the graphics on this listing link What happens when there are more than one TB in it and it appears one multiple listings? Back to the drawing board Jeremy! Quote
+wildlifewriter Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 I believe its a good idea, but the bookmark list has already obscured the graphics on this listing link That only happens when you (the owner) view the listing, because of the extra owner-specific fields further up the page. The rest of us see it correctly. (Nice excuse for a cache advert though - I'll add it to my forthcoming list of "Ways To Advertise Your Own Cache on the Forums and Get Away With It.") -Wlw. Quote
