+Balcanthez Posted April 4, 2008 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
+Cache O'Plenty Posted April 4, 2008 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.

+xshooter Posted April 5, 2008 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.
+alexrudd Posted April 5, 2008 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.
+Isonzo Karst Posted April 5, 2008 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.
+4Zees Posted April 8, 2008 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.
