+LeGodFather Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Has the "special characters" problem been forgotten? or may be postponed to another release? Thanks. Link to comment
OpinioNate Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) Has the "special characters" problem been forgotten? or may be postponed to another release? Thanks. No, not at all. In fact we just discussed that two days ago. Unfortunately it's a complicated fix (much more than would appear at first glance) that will take some time to implement. We will get to it, though.

+jackratt Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 The print PDF option does not seem to be working...could this be related to the new release? Link to comment
+mtrax Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I noticed , at least for AU users that the maps on cache page are now Google maps , was this change published here? any way thanks that was a great change! Link to comment
+Andy33 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Can’t get the print PDF to work also don’t seem to be able to get the map to zoom from the cache page. Link to comment
OpinioNate Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 The print PDF option does not seem to be working...could this be related to the new release? Thanks for letting us know. That's now been fixed and will go out in the next release. Link to comment
+paleolith Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 img links in the description still have the rel and title attributes stripped. Any word on this? Is it being reconsidered? Is there some reason not to restore this capability? I can wait if required, but it's frustrating to get no feedback on a problem reported by quite a few people. Edward Link to comment
LQ Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Non working link on the search page: all the logs from the last 24 hours possibly introduced already in some earlier update. This page still works, but are there any links pointing here? IMO: The feature that the 'error message page' redirects and "corrupts" the url so that you can't just refresh to get the page you wanted is really annoying. Link to comment
+Corey Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 This page still works, but are there any links pointing here? On the front page, there's a link "Check out the recent logs" IMO: The feature that the 'error message page' redirects and "corrupts" the url so that you can't just refresh to get the page you wanted is really annoying. Yes, not so good. Link to comment
+The Jester Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I haven't been getting any emails from GC since the update/site off-line this morning. I see that there have been logs to my TB's - but nothing is coming thru on email. Is this related to the update? Link to comment

I see that there have been logs to my TB's - but nothing is coming thru on email. Is this related to the update? I have had a dozen or so Geocaching emails today since the update. There hasn't been any action on my caches or bugs though so I can't help with that part. Link to comment

Rhialto Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 [*]Banner image dates correspond to log date instead of EXIF data For a second I thought it was about the Gallery. Will someone at least acknowledge the problem described here? It would be nice to hear from someone if I'm not just crazy and eventually if it will or not be on the TO DO list. I don't matter if it takes a week or a month but since this hobby will be taking a part of my life for the next years I would really like to display the correct dates so my memory will serve me better when later I will look back in time. Thank you. Link to comment
+TheBludgers Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 When is the next release - not being able to print to PDF is really inconvenient!! And it worked fine until today!! Thanks, Nick Movsovic Link to comment

+rocky is a very good doggie Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Was the limit on user id length (to 32 characters) new with this release? Link to comment
+LeoGeo Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Thanks for the fixes and enhancements! A question about one of them In the new MyTopo maps, is there a way to make it display an "X" or something at the location you're mapping (the way the Google maps display an arrow)? I didn't see an option to make it do that, as there was on the topozone maps, but I probably just missed it. Thanks. Link to comment
+benh57 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 It's minor, but the 'MyTopo' in between the two google maps is rather annoying, IMO. The two 'google maps' maps links should be adjacent as they always were. We also still need a map link for MS Live Maps. (far superior to MS MapPoint) -Ben Link to comment
+Marky Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Today we updated the site with the following fixes:An ampersand in a Travel Bug name no longer breaks formatting during activationPlease feel free to comment in this thread on these changes and report any unusual site behavior. Thanks! I don't know if anyone else reported this, but this has regressed and is now working like it was before the fix. Might this be re-fixed sometime soon? If so, I'll hold off on activating all the new coins I got at GeoWoodstock VI. I didn't see this mentioned. Is this regression still an issue, or can I start activating my geocoins again. --Marky Link to comment

I've been waiting for a fix or news on this situation as well. In another thread it was implied that the missing attributes would be reinstated. Any word? Link to comment
AndiHoffi Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Please let us know in this thread about any problems related to this update. If you just want to discuss any of the items in this list please create a new thread. Thanks! I am not sure, if my problem has anything to do with your update, but since May 30, I cannot see any cache-pages or the google-maps-page anymore. I did not access your page between May27 and May 30. All I get is an empty page (really empty with 0 bytes html-source). This happens in IE, FF2, FF3 beta5, FF3 RC1 and even Plucker (FF3 RC1 displays an XML-error that says that there is no source to parse...). I did not change the configuration on my side for about half a year and the rest of my internet-access is working fine. My configuration: Location: Germany. NAT-Router (Netgear) Two laptops (WLAN), one desktop. All are running Windows XP, SP2. My working-laptop does not even have a firewall (strange, but true). Do you have any clue if this kind of behaviour might have anything to do with your update? I think the most likely point of failure is my router, since all computers behind it have the same problem (and apparently not many people besides me have this issue). Did you change anything that might mess it up? Perhaps some encoding or something similar the router cannot deal with? Thank you Link to comment
+UncleJimbo Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I was travelling in Belgium and Germany the last two weeks and accessing Geocaching.com from hotel PCs. I noticed that none of the Google Maps or the maps on the cache pages were working. I could see a map on the cache page, but could not zoom it at all. I wonder if this is related to these recent updates? The PCs were running Windows (XP, I believe), but I do not know anything else about versions. I have accessed Geocaching.com pages from these exact hotel PCs in the past without any problems. Link to comment
+ePeterso2 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I didn't see the "title" attribute added to "img" tags ... didn't Jeremy say this was going to be fixed as of this release? My puzzle cache that relies upon this attribute is still busted. Link to comment
AndiHoffi Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I made some more tests and found out that Plucker seems to be messing up my router. After the last usage of Plucker, it takes some time until any computer behind the router can access geocaching.com again. When I use Plucker then, the page is messed up again. Link to comment

+N0WNV Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 the hide and seek a cache the search by zip or postal code has problems, I tried to do a 5 mile search on a particular zip code and it shows me the 100 mile search. I know it takes time to fix all the bugs, but the new look was needed. Link to comment
