H to the Bizzle! Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 (edited) Looks like a few new changes were just put in place - notably in the "log your visit" section of a cache page, cache logs, and the new collectibles tab. Edited January 17, 2006 by HuckleBuckle Link to comment
+Maingray Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Plus all the TBs and geocoins moved to a new "Collectibles" section, separate to "Geocaches". Plus the abilityt o "hide" collectibles..cool! Link to comment
H to the Bizzle! Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 Looks like there's a glitch along with the new additions - I have 19 hides but it says I have 24. Link to comment
+ScandinavianMagic Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 ... and doesnt work with Firefox!!! What time you live in? Link to comment
+tozainamboku Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Umm. Collectibles - don't you think that might encourage people who find a coin in a cache to keep it? Link to comment
+WitzAbout Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I just noticed the changes for collectables too! I was in the middle of checking some out - clicked on a show all hidden, but they had only TBs, and wished there was a seperate section for TBs - a poof! a couple of minutes later it HAPPENED!

H to the Bizzle! Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 I just posted how I have 19 hides but it says 24, well now it says 15. Link to comment
+ShadowAce Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Firefox does not seem to be too happy with the changes Tabs along the top of profiles are missing. List of items in collectable runs off the box into unseen area. Link to comment
+the hermit crabs Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Looks like there's a glitch along with the new additions - I have 19 hides but it says I have 24. I have 10, and it says I have 15. I wonder if the difference is always +5? Link to comment
+tozainamboku Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Where's the background images? Link to comment
+Maingray Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Crashes when I try to get my geocache list Server Error in '/' Application. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Could not find stored procedure 'spgsp_GetUserGeocacheOwnedCount'.

+Maingray Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Yah, big differences in the views between IE and FF. No nice tabs or boxes in FF. Link to comment
+Stuey Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I like the image mouseover I like the instant hint decrypt I like the profile page change with the tabs I'm not too sure about the blue wash on the cache page for the logs, but I'll get used to it. Thanks very much, some good improvements. Link to comment
+Maingray Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 (edited) Heh, now FF looks OK for me. Tracking number on each colectible is ncie addition too, IMO. Edited January 17, 2006 by Maingray Link to comment
+Raine Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I just made a change the sproc so you saw that error at the same time I was making my change. As far as FF goes.. I'm viewing the site in that and I tested it against Opera, Netscape 7 and IE 6 & 7. Try holding down Shift and click the refresh icon. Link to comment
+Urubu Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Is it *intentional* that the hints appear in both encrypted and decrypted form??? (using Firefox, in case that matters) Link to comment
+fauxSteve Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I've only looked at it in Safari, and I think the new style sheet is forcing rather small text. I need to experiment with it a bit more before I come to a conclusion. BIG PROBLEM, though: All the hints are showing both encryted and decrypted on the same page. I'll look on some other browsers in a bit, but that seemed important enough to suggest a problem (Safari 2.0.1 on OS X Tiger). Link to comment
kcart Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I've only looked at it in Safari, and I think the new style sheet is forcing rather small text. Most but not all listing pages showing small text in description with FF 1.5. ©¿©¬ Link to comment
+budd-rdc Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Umm. Collectibles - don't you think that might encourage people who find a coin in a cache to keep it? and Travel Bugs are meant to travel, not to be collected... Overall, I like the changes, so thank you Groundspeak. It would be nice to see the word "Collectibles" change to "Trackables" or "Trackable Items" or something else. "Collectible" does reflect reality, though. Link to comment
+JDandDD Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Like most of the changes and its a good upgrade. The only thing I find a bit difficult with my older eyes is the blue on the logs. The text doesn't contrast as well as on white which makes it hard for me to read. But the layout on the cache pages looks great. JDandDD Link to comment
CoyoteRed Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Can we add little negative space in the logs so they don't look crammed together? Link to comment
ju66l3r Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Firefox 1.0.7 on Linux pushes the pretty tabs up underneath of the blue text above them and makes it impossible to use them correctly. Link to comment
+Anonymous' Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 The hint decryption works like a charm, the collections tab makes things a lot more organized, and i love the new image preview thing. Thanks Groundspeak! Link to comment
+Raine Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Firefox 1.0.7 on Linux pushes the pretty tabs up underneath of the blue text above them and makes it impossible to use them correctly. Have you thought about upgrading firefox on linux? Link to comment
Jeremy Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 "Collectible" does reflect reality, though. Heh. Good point. I changed it to "Trackables" - if it isn't a word it is now Link to comment
+TheAprilFools Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Looks great in IE, Firefox 1.0.7 on XP does not show the profile tabs. Link to comment
+Cache Liberation Front Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I thought I'd add another "I don't see any background images using FF 1.5" post Thanks, Mr. Wisearse. Link to comment
+dinobalz Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Like the changes; nice job. I appreciate the separate tab for TB's and coins since I don't always want to see that stuff. For me, the new condensed format is much more readable, especially on my PDA. Thanks! Link to comment
+Raine Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Looks great in IE, Firefox 1.0.7 on XP does not show the profile tabs. Firefox 1.0.7 had some known issues with CSS that were addressed in the 1.5 release. Link to comment
+Stuey Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I changed it to "Trackables" - if it isn't a word it is now Good call.... and it'll be in the Oxford English Dictionary in about 6 years too Link to comment
+klossner Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 The tabs on the profile page are just plain not there in both Mozilla and Firefox. Cache logs as black type on a blue background is hard to read for us in the bifocal set. In the print-friendly view, the waypoint number (red letters, upper-right corner) overlays the printed attributes, and the "Additional Hints (Decrypt)" link doesn't actually do anything ... seems to link to a page with "&decrypt=" (no "=y").

+Lil Devil Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Firefox 1.0.7 on Linux pushes the pretty tabs up underneath of the blue text above them and makes it impossible to use them correctly. Same problem on Firefox 1.0.7 on Windows. Link to comment
+Bill D (wwh) Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Overall, I like the changes, but they need some tweaking. In Firefox 1.5 for Windows the links top right on cache pages are now simple text links. So are the tabs at the top of profile pages. The very small text on cache pages, and the plain text hints, have already been mentioned. Link to comment
kcart Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Getting better. Blue tabs show in FF 1.5 and I see all the nice new blue boxes. The appearance now between Fiefox and IE is almost identical. The changes are great, but I liked the different look of FF before. ©¿©¬ Link to comment
+WeightMan Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 It appears to me (using Netscape 7 on a Mac using 832x624 resolution) that the tabs on the profile page are hidden by the text above. Link to comment
H to the Bizzle! Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 (edited) "Collectibles" has now been changed to "Trackables" EDIT: Oops, already mentioned above. Sorry. Edited January 17, 2006 by HuckleBuckle Link to comment
+klossner Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Have you thought about upgrading firefox? I beg you. Please, please, PLEASE don't become one of those sites that doesn't work unless I update my browser every month. Link to comment

CoyoteRed Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Can we add little negative space in the logs so they don't look crammed together? Quoting myself... Anyway, a cellpadding of 3-5 or so should be plenty in the table that contains the logs. Simple fix what with all the other stuff you're chasing. Link to comment
+NoLemon Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 In general, I like the changes. However, I'd like to see some whitespace between log entries to improve readability. As they are now, all the log entries on a page seem to run together. I like the color background to the log entries. It sets the logs off from the rest of the page. However, the background is a bit on the dark side. This decreases the contrast between the text and the page reducing readability. A lighter background would reduce the problem. Thanks for the continueing updates. Link to comment
+Lil Devil Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 The icon for disable listing is somewhat disconcerting Link to comment

Please, please, PLEASE don't become one of those sites that doesn't work unless I update my browser every month. We don't plan to.. but 1.0.7 of firefox does have bugs. We are using web standard stuff and it just won't render properly in 1.0.7. -Raine Link to comment
+Raine Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 The icon for disable listing is somewhat disconcerting Use to be the icon for Archiving though Link to comment
+SgtSue Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Like the changes. Was really getting to hate all the icons on the profile sheet but the new "trackables" is perfect. Love how the hint funtion works, the inventory area, and all the mouse overs. The blue is hard to read in the logs though. That is the only thing. You'll understand in another 20 years or so.

+Lil Devil Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 The icon for disable listing is somewhat disconcerting Use to be the icon for Archiving though The trash can makes sense for archiving, but not for disabling. But I do like the lock also for archiving. I would just go back to the disable log icon for the button. Link to comment
+Semper Questio Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I really like the changes, though I, too, would like a little space between logs on the cache pages. Did anyone else notice the TB numbers on the bugs you own? Very nice! Thanks Jeremy and crew! Link to comment
+sTeamTraen Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I second the remark above about Firefox 1.0x auto-decrypting the hint. Will check on 1.5 when I get to work. This doesn't bother me much as I always decrypt the hint before I print but it might spoil things for some people. Getting JavaScript to work across browsers is such a pain... Link to comment

+Teamhawaii1981 & blueicyrose Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Kudos! I like every single update that was implemented. Really well done! Link to comment
+Bill D (wwh) Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 A very minor point: In IE and in Firefox 1.5 the photo links beneath logs on cache pages aren't showing as underlined links. As other links are showing as underlined I imagine this is accidental. Link to comment
