+southdeltan Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I didn't feel that this suggestion went with the long thread on nearest caches - so here it is: On the main page, I think there should be a link for benchmarking included in the 7 links already there (On the upper left of the page). Somewhere between: Main Page About Geocaching Hide & Seek a Cache Track Travel Bugs My Cache Page Discuss Geocaching Links I think benchmarking has been on the site long enough to warrant an addition here, instead of the slightly hard to find (especially to newbies) link within the main page text. just a thought, southdeltan Link to comment

I'll second this suggestion. Hopefully Jeremy can include it when the main page gets a makeover, if not sooner. Link to comment
+Pudman Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Although I don't hunt BM's regularly, I would probably do more if the link was there. I KNOW I would if there was a link to "nearest BM" on the cache page I was looking at. Link to comment

Find... ...other caches hidden or found by this user ...nearby caches of this type ...all nearby caches ...all nearby placenames ...all nearby benchmarks Or am I misunderstanding what you said?

+OzzieSan Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I would suggest putting it under "Hide & Seek a Cache" since it is where you go "To search for local benchmarks". Link to comment
+southdeltan Posted June 20, 2003 Author Share Posted June 20, 2003 There already is a link on both the cache and benchmark pages. The Cache pages have lots of options as included in the earlier post. Benchmark pages have almost as many - and include nearest cache and nearest benchmarks... I just think that it'd be a simple and quick addition on the main page. More people would use it if it was more visible. southdeltan Link to comment
+Pudman Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 DUH!! I'm suffering from DA syndrome! I guess I will get after those BM's now! Still....Would be nice to have link on main page. Link to comment
+GrizzlyJohn Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 I can't disagree with adding a link on the main page. I expect that will be done with the rest of the site overhaul. But my guess is that will be the last thing changed. You have to have all those pages behind it done first before you know where to send things from the front page. I am still laughing about the fact that you used DA and BM in the same post. Link to comment
+southdeltan Posted July 1, 2003 Author Share Posted July 1, 2003 I guess this idea is going to die or something. I'm not an expert but this should be easy to add. -=bump=- sd "Man can counterfeit everything except silence". - William Faulkner Link to comment
+Team Shibby Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 The link is already there. It may not be listed in the list on the top left hand side of the page, but it is right in front of your eyes. Look closely and you'll see: New! Benchmark hunting You can now search for NGS Benchmarks in the US. Check out the new section. Kar Link to comment

It may not be listed in the list on the top left hand side of the page, but it is right in front of your eyes. Of course it's included on the main page. Nobody said it wasn't. It's not exactly a visible link however. Read my first post more carefully: quote:southdeltan posted: On the main page, I think there should be a link for benchmarking included in the 7 links already there (On the upper left of the page). The benchmarking information isn't NEW anymore and I can't see why it can't have a more clearly defined section like the other sections do. The link gets lost in the text of the main page. southdeltan "Man can counterfeit everything except silence". - William Faulkner Link to comment
+Team Shibby Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I see what your saying, maybe your suggestion will be considered when TPTB revamp the site. Until then, bookmarks/favorites are always a click away Kar Link to comment
