lowracer Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Would like to see a field on the "edit cache" page for permanent notes that are visible only to the approvers and the cache owner. For example, on a multicache, I would like to have a convenient place to store the waypoints of all the redirectors. The approvers need this info now for approving, and it is helpful to have this info stored with the cache in case maintenance needs to be done and the coords cannot be found. This Permanent Notes field would not be visible on the published page, only on the edit cache page. What say ye? Link to comment
Keystone Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 The approvers agree with you (at least this one). We have discussed this and similar concepts with Jeremy. If implemented, this would be an advanced version of the 'note to reviewer' that you see now on the new cache form. Using your example, we could check a new cache submission against the intermediate and final waypoints for a multicache, to make sure that the new cache wasn't right on top of a cache container for the existing multicache. Thanks for this good suggestion. |x*x-x|x*x-x|x*x-x|x*x-x|x*x-x|x*x-x|x*x-x| Keystone Approver, Geocaching.com Admin "Eschewing Entropy and Ensuring Enthalpy in the Groundspeak Forums" Link to comment
+Marky Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Actually, all it would take is to allow the owner and the approvers easy access to the archived "note to reviewer" note. That shouldn't be very difficult at all. --Marky ...Be nice to your fellow geocachers, they might be Hemlock... Link to comment
Jeremy Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 It's a great idea. The current design of the site would stick them into pocket queries, so I need to fix that before I can allow that feature. Jeremy Irish Groundspeak - The Language of Location Link to comment

Yep, because otherwise he'd have all of the application developers scrambling to figure out where the new type came from and what it is. (Incidentally, if you decide to somehow let the approvers get their approval subqueues in PQ form, not that you would, of course, but if you do, I'd gladly add it into Watcher for them, as long as I know what it's called. ) [[[ ClayJar Networks ]]] Home of Watcher downloads, Official Geocaching Chat, and the Geocache Rating System Link to comment
+nostrada Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 I would love this. I wrote for my first multi/puzzle caches some detailed notes to the approver, and of course (s)he deleted them prior to publishing the cache. Only problem, I didn't copy notes and had to redo some of the stuff. Silly, I know. But it would be really handy if I can leave notes attached to me cache visible only to me.
