+goodgollymsmolly Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Please consider adding an option to the Travel Bug page that would allow a user to view all log entries on the same page. (In other words, adding a link to "View them all on one page," such as currently exists for cache pages.) When following a bug's progress, it is more user friendly and enjoyable to be able to scroll through all the entries, rather than clicking for each previous page. We had this option before, and recognize the reasoning for going to a page-by-page format, but a big drawback to not being able to see all logs at once is when searching for specific text. If there are 20 pages for a bug, it now requires 20 individual searches, rather than performing just one if a full bug log history display were possible. Link to comment
+the hermit crabs Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I second this request. I've had a need for it several times in just the past few days: For a couple of bugs that I had picked up, I wanted to do a quick check of which local caches they'd already been in so that I wouldn't be putting them someplace they'd already visited; it was too frustrating to go through every page so I didn't bother. A bug I picked up recently wanted to visit 1000 caches; the owner asked that you include the current cache # in your log for the bug. None of the recent finders had done this, so I couldn't just add 1 to the last count. Normally I would actually have counted every cache in its history and included that number in my log, as a favor to the bug owner, but again, it was too frustrating to go through the history page by page. A forum post recently mentioned a cache that I knew one of my bugs had been in once a long time ago, but it didn't mention the cache's name or waypoint ID. I wanted to look through my bug's history to get the name of the cache so that I could see the cache page, and I had to go through several pages to find it. Someone recently asked for help about something in the TB forum; I could easily have answered his question if I had scrolled through his TB's history. But I didn't want to do it page-by-page, so his question went unanswered. I'm actually finding TB-stuff less enjoyable these days simply due to the non-user-friendly format of the bug log pages... I used to like to look at the history whenever I picked up a bug, but I don't do that any more since this page thing was instituted. I also like to take pictures of every bug we find, but I'm finding that less enjoyable also -- I feel like once they scroll off page 1, no one will ever bother to look at them anyway. If there must be some kind of paging for the logs, possibly due to some TBs (especially coins in "traveling collections") getting hundreds of pointless logs at events, then could the number of logs per page at least be expanded beyond 10? Say, 100? Thanks. Link to comment
+RocketMan Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I would also like the option to have all of the logs on one page as they were previously. I think that having the logs on multiple pages is a good thing most of the time, but I miss being able to see them all on one page. RM Link to comment
+Semper Questio Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I'll jump on this bandwago. We have it on cache pages, it should be on bug pages. Same for the floating over pics thingy. That'd be pretty sweet too. Link to comment
+TravelingViking Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Yes, Please! Same here: I really want to be able to quickly browse through all logs! To see who already had it, where it was, who made the longest loge entries, most picture posts, etc. Using multiple clicks really puts on a break. Thanks, Olaf Link to comment
+roolku Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Please (re-) create the option to view all logs on one page. The hermit crabs have summed up the reasons quite well. Roolku Link to comment
+Glenn Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Me too! I wouldn't use it all the time but like stated in the other posts it would make doing certain things a lot easier. Link to comment
+solid-rock-seekers Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Add us to the list of cachers who would like to see the "View All Logs" feature for TB logs, as there is for cache listings. Link to comment
+ibycus Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 oooh yes please. I just picked up a bug not long ago that had been circulating for a few years. Thought I'd seen it before. Real pain to go through all the log pages and read up on it. Link to comment
+RocketMan Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I see that this feature has now been added and it works great. Thanks a bunch. RM Link to comment
