augustojr Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) The Firefox Text-to-Image extension allows you to see pics (instead of pic links) inside logs on geocaching.com. If you want geocaching.com logs to look like this: instead of this: Follow these simple steps: Step 1. If you are using IE install Firefox 3 and open the program Step 2. Follow this link and install the Text-to-Image extension Step 3. Restart Firefox Step 4. Click the Red Typhoon in the lower right hand corner of Firefox to make it a Jade Typhoon like so: That's it.

+JeremyR Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Another possibility to achieve a similar result is the Geothumbs Greasemonkey script, which does much the same without the need for a dedicated Firefox extension (except for Greasemonkey itself, of course) Quote Link to comment
+Save The Murlocs Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Cool!! Thanks. Quote Link to comment

Since I already had greasemonkey installed I went with this option too, and am very pleased. Thanks for the tip. Quote Link to comment
Mag Magician Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 That is totally awesome! A few seconds to install the Firefox add-on, and the cache logs come to life, including pics. Thanks for the link. Quote Link to comment

Yeah I wish Text-to-Image had a Whitelist, it does have a Blacklist though. I didn't know about geothumbs, looks cool too, but Text-to-Image comes in handy in other places too and has an easy toggle on/off button. Someone should submit geothumbs to userscript.org. Glad people are enjoying and using it. Hope it helps your hunts! Quote Link to comment
+jackrock Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I already had Greasemonkey installed so I installed the Geothumbs. Works great! Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+SUp3rFM & Cruella Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Very nice! Works great. I've been using the GS script, too. Quote Link to comment
