+Balcanthez Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hello all, I've only been doing this since November 07, but believe there needs to be another filter selection: Disabled/Inactive. Tons of disabled caches are on the map, and even though most are temporary, it is still a very large nuisance. R/Balcanthez Link to comment
+Cache O'Plenty Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Doesn't the filter element "Is Active" under the "THAT (and)" section in the PQ setup page doing that exact thing? I just tested it and it seems to exclude the "Disabled" caches. Link to comment

+xshooter Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I'm also distracted by inactive caches on the maps and have asked for this feature twice now I believe. I guess nobody is listening. Link to comment
+alexrudd Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 The stated intention for keeping inactive caches on the map is to encourage peer pressure to prompt cache owners to repair / re-enable them. Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 On the Geocaching.com google maps, the disabled caches have an orange background color, which distinguishes them from active caches. I suspect it's better to leave them on the maps so cache placers understand that they hold their spot. Once you notice the orange color I think it's difficult to distinguish them. Link to comment
+4Zees Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I guess my two cents worth is that they could be selectable filters but by default, they show up until the boxes are ticked. Link to comment
