+hzoi Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) A short time ago, a change was made to the cache submission form. The check box for "Enable cache listing" was moved to the middle of the page, and it was unchecked by default. I think leaving the check box unchecked by default is fine -- it helps prevent accidental cache submissions. However, the box should be more visually prominent. Put it in a separate text box, make it bold, put the text in a different color, something. A quick look at the forums will show you that it blends in too well. Some people aren't seeing it, so they don't check it, and then they are getting frustrated thinking it's taking forever for the reviewers to act. edit: spelling Edited November 3, 2011 by hzoi Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 We have this issue already entered into our internal database. A complete overhaul of the cache submission process is coming, and this issue will be corrected then. Quote Link to comment

AZcachemeister Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I think it should be made as obscure as possible, and it should move to a different location on the page every time you open it to submit a cache. Can't find the checkbox? Probably shouldn't be submitting a cache. Mostly kidding, but partly serious. Quote Link to comment

If nothing else it forces people to read what they are actually doing and not just skimming through ticking the same boxes time and again.... Quote Link to comment
