+Miragee Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 History and Culture • Abandoned Cemeteries • Luftwaffe Radar Ruins • Ancient Aqueducts • Old World Originals • Art Museums • Pictographs • Canadian National Historic Sites • Plane Crash Sites • Civil Defense Fallout Shelters • Presidential Birthplaces • Civil Rights Memorials • Shipwrecks • Civil War Discovery Trail Sites • Spring Houses • Exact Replicas • Time Capsules • Ghost Towns • U.S. National Natural Landmarks • Historic Markers • U.S. National Register of Historic Places • History Museums • Universities and Colleges • Irish-American Historic Places • World Heritage Sites • Iron Furnace Ruins On that page, there is a message: There are subcategories containing Waymarks that are not being displayed due to your filter (popularity or location) settings. I have tried to change the "popularity filter" to show me 100% of the subcategories, but either it doesn't work or I simply cannot figure out how to do it. Also, there is a Category on that page for Pictographs, but Pictographs are not the same as Petroglyphs. Could that Category be renamed to be more inclusive, so it could include not just Pictographs, but Petroglyphs? If it was expanded, perhaps someone could also submit grinding holes, two of which I found yesterday. Link to comment

I have tried to change the "popularity filter" to show me 100% of the subcategories, but either it doesn't work or I simply cannot figure out how to do it. Do you have a location filter on? Look for the link above the category list that says "turn location filter off". Could that Category be renamed to be more inclusive, so it could include not just Pictographs, but Petroglyphs? If it was expanded, perhaps someone could also submit grinding holes, two of which I found yesterday. The Wikipedia page for pictograph says: The term "pictograph" can also be used to mean * rock painting as distinguished from petroglyphs Following this definition, the Group appears to be accepting petroglyph waymarks such as this one.

+Miragee Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 (edited) Could I also put my Native American grinding holes in that category? If not, where would they fit? EDIT to add. I do not have the Location Filter on and when I click on the Popularity Flter, which shows 80%, and try to move the "slider" to 100%, all it does is refresh the page and 80% is still the number. I use the Opera browser, just in case that could be the reason I'm missing some functionality. Edited June 26, 2006 by Miragee Link to comment
+Jake39 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 OpinioNate Posted Today, 10:11 AM....following this definition, the Group appears to be accepting petroglyph waymarks such as this one. Looks like the GPS is more important than the quality of the picure Here is a sneaky way to link "MY PETROGLYPS" Page Link to comment
+Miragee Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 Okay, I just submitted my Petroglyph site here but it looks like the "rules" are stringent, so I don't know if it will be approved . . . Link to comment

If it is not approved it will be a tragedy because that's a dang fine waymark. EDIT to add.

I use the Opera browser, just in case that could be the reason I'm missing some functionality. I checked and lo and behold, I can't change my slider either. Fortunately I'm at 100% already. Could this be proof no one uses the pop filter? Seems we would have heard about this before now. I checked with Sean and he's going to sort it out. Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Thanks for all this info. My mother-in-law is in charge of the pictograph waymarks. She's been gone for a few weeks on a family roadtrip. I'll point her to this thread so she can make a decision on this! Link to comment
+Miragee Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 Thanks Ambrosia. I think this would be the perfect category for my grinding hole, if the category is expanded to include other types of Native American evidence beyond Pictographs. Link to comment

OpinioNate Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Sean managed to sort out the Pop Filter bug and everything is working properly again. Link to comment
