I can pick my manufacturer "Garmin" but the device list does not populate - the little spinning gif keeps a spinning though. Edited February 11, 2009 by Frank Broughton

It should start working soon.

Miracles do happen ... The edit profile page looks pretty messy though ... And the "My Profile" link in the nav bar is missing an image. Edited February 11, 2009 by The Hawks
knowschad Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Wow! That's quite an ambitious update!! I was going to mention the GPS device selection, but see that has already been covered. Don't know if its related to the upgrade or not, but the Microsoft Live maps pushpin is missing.
+Headhardhat Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Great Job on the Update. Profile stufff looks great... EXCEPT adding your GPS hangs after selecting manufacturer. Web page shows done but the database lookup for the models hangs with the screen locked and you have to backspace to get out.. Can't win them all guys... -HHH

It should start working soon. Both pull downs have "select manufacturer" - is that a bug already in it?
+Cache O'Plenty Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 The lefthand menu now says "My Profile" instead of "My Account". But it takes you to the My Account Details page, not the profile. Would have liked the Bookmark Lists to show a "Found" status checkmark (like search results pages and PQ Preview pages) but... maybe next time.
+hawkeye81 Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Like the chronological order update, but .... My profile doesn't display properly anymore - looks fine in the preview on the new My Account page, but not from here. I'm using IE8 RC1 (maybe thats the problem )
+LeGodFather Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 When you select a manufacturer, the device drop down changes.. so, it's right by saying to choose a manufacturer. On another note, I tried to enter a GPS Rating, but it always says: "Please provide a comment for this rating." even though I have a comment and stars selected.
idl0r Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Anybody also concerning problems when CSS is used in listings? Looks to me, like Webserver is filtering CSS-Code
+Cache O'Plenty Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) GPS rating section doesn't work right. It mandates a comment after choosing stars. Entered a comment but it doesn't recognize the comment. Keeps asking for a comment. Also, would have been nice if it would allow input of more than one GPS. We use a handheld plus a Autonav unit (nuvi 660). Edited February 11, 2009 by Cache O'Plenty

+Harwell5 Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 My profile page is not working in Google Chrome or IE. I have tabs on my profile page that worked fine before the change, now the tabs are not there and all my info is "stacked" on top of each other making the vertical scroll LOOONG! Help!

+aStrongOne Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 I too selected a GPS, gave it a 5 star rating, wrote a comment, and then was asked to sumit a comment on the rating when I tried to save it.
+Cache O'Plenty Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) Bookmark Lists tab on the Profile page doesn't work. Returns no lists. But if I use the righthand links on My Account Details page, it returns my list of Bookmark Lists. I'm going caching now. Will see the shakeout when I return.

+Juicepig Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 When i try and put a review for my GPS i get an error box "please provide a comment for this rating" (i provided 44 characters of rating)
+LeGodFather Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Also, Avatar is not shown on profile account page and the count of found and hides is set at 0. But the info is Ok in the statbar. (hmm.. right now I get the following message when going to GC.com: "This site is temporarily down for maintenance")
+eSeR2008 Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 2 probs i encounterd, the statistic generated with GSAK look a little goofed up? And the mentioned GPS thingy where you can select/rate and comment, isn't working properly. But for the rest its al working like a charme ThnXzzz!

Download the browser plugin. ==================================== I downloaded the Delorme browser plugin and it seems to work fine and will download cache info directly to my PN-20 as long as I'm doing it from IE, but doesn't recognize that I've downloaded and installed the plugin when I'm accessing from AOL 9.1. It continues to prompt me to download the plugin whenever I try to send cache info to my GPS. Should it work from within AOL or is that not supported?

There are system requirements listed right there on that plugin page, and I don't see AOL listed. Perhaps you should complain to DeLorme.

+Shilo Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 So far it looks good. One issue/question. I use GSAK to make profile stats and they are all messed up. Do I need to update them to fix this the next time I get a MY Finds PQ? Good job on the rest so far....still navigating around
