Categories Full - 200+ Waymarks

[+StagsRoar]

What happens to waymarks when the category max's out with waymark submissions - are they still able to be viewed ? What happens to them after the category tips over 200.

Unsure!

Are you asking about a limit of:

1 How many waymarks can be viewed in a list?

2 How many waymark submissions can remain in a queue for Accept/Decline?

 

If you mean #1, the new max is 500. You can only directly view 1-500. For the ones past 500 you have to get lucky with keywords.

 

I have no idea about #2.

Nope - that has answered my question - I didn't know the new max was 500. And after 500 I didn't know that you viewed it as a keyword or specific search. Thanks for that!

Well, this post said the new limit is 1000, but it's 500 instead.

With the growth of Recovered U.S. Benchmarks you will exceed even 1000 before long. Why are they imposing any limit at all?

 

(My goal is to maintain at least 1 Canadian Benchmark for each 10 U.S., so far I'm keeping up.)

I think there is some confusion. When you visit the waymark's page it shows you a list of the most recent waymarks in that category. There's no actual restriction on the number of total waymarks you can add to a category. The update is just mentioning the recent waymarks list is now set at 500.

I'll also note that during the testing phase we pre-loaded the Waymarking site with 3 million waymarks in one category. It handled it quite well.

Is there now, or will there be in the future, any way to view more than the 200/500/1000 newest (or just all!) without having to resort to a keyword search?

If that's the case, then what about uploading the Canadian Benchmark database to the category. I sent several e-mails regarding this and got no reply. I would like to see the category set up much like the US version at geocaching.com.
