Can you please check them? Thanks I will contact developers to run job that syncs them between servers. The next time you access them they might be the opposite, they were loaded at different times and randomly ended up on different servers. The syncing is supposed to be automatic but not happening.

The next time you access them they might be the opposite, they were loaded at different times and randomly ended up on different servers. The syncing is supposed to be automatic but not happening. Yesterday the Fishing Port icon appeared normally for us, then it disappeared, then later on it appeared again so we thought it was OK. This morning it has gone again, replaced by the words Commercial Fishing Ports. When that is clicked on, a black screen shows with the following: The image "http://www.Waymarking.com/images/cat_icons/Fishing Ports.gif" cannot be displayed because it contains errors. BTW, we loved the little fishing boat icon, hope it comes back and stays back. Edited October 3, 2016 by Punga and Paua Quote Link to comment
razalas Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Now that the Religious Buildings Multifarious category is on and receiving waymarks I have tried to create an icon for it. I have tried to create a generic religious building whith out using a bell tower or cross to make it more "Multifarious" and and not focused on any religion. Rounded top: Pointed top: What do you think? Quote Link to comment

+T0SHEA Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 The new icon for the new Religious Buildings Multifarious category is online. Thanks to waywizard! But there are still some icons missing: Pergolas, Fraternal Order of Eagles, Battery Powered Personal Transport Rentals. Please take an eye on those icons!! We need them!! Unless I am missing something I do not see it, or the one for Fishing Ports seems to be gone also. Quote Link to comment
+T0SHEA Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Maybe again a problem of (non-)sychronisation beween the two Waymarking web servers. I am on WAYMARK-WEB02 with the release date of 2016-10-14. WAYMARK-WEB02 I have read this before, how do you find it and make the switch? Quote Link to comment
+T0SHEA Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 On the map, all of the RBM and fishing ports show as a Waymarking logo. We are on Waymark-WEB01. Quote Link to comment

Please take an eye on those icons!! We need them!! These all have been uploaded. It is caused by the sync issue of the two servers. Any time you see the broken link symbol instead of the old icon it means the icon has been uploaded by the syncing has not take place correctly. I will contact GS development in morning and ask that the sync job be run. Quote Link to comment
+T0SHEA Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) The Religious Buildings Multifarious and Commercial Fishing Ports are now showing on the grid. Now the icons for Fraternal Order of Eagles and Battery Powered PT Rentals are not showing now. We are on Waymark-WEB01. Edited October 21, 2016 by BK-Hunters Quote Link to comment
razalas Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 The "Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement" category is active and receiving waymarks so i worked on an icon for it. Hope you like it Thank you. Quote Link to comment
razalas Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 New category, new icon Here's suggestion: Icon with eight divisions. The symbols have some design. Icon with twelve divisions. The symbols have almost no design they are just points. What is your opinion? Any suggestions to change or improve the designs? Quote Link to comment
+Benchmark Blasterz Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I like the 8 division Zodiac example. The 12 division example looks like a millstone because the symbols have to be so small. Quote Link to comment
razalas Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 So from the first attempt the preferred is this one with eight divisions: ... Or you create an icon with let's say only 3 symbols or so. Somekind of 'cut-out' of the circle. So the symbols could be bigger. As you suggested I have tried a 'cut-out': Diagonal: Horizontal: Quote Link to comment
+T0SHEA Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 This is about the grid icons for Commercial Fishing Ports, Religious Buildings Multifarious and Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement are busted. This fluctuates sometimes they work and other get busted, there just seems to be at least two most times that are not showing. Anyone else experiencing this? Quote Link to comment

This fluctuates sometimes they work and other get busted, there just seems to be at least two most times that are not showing. Anyone else experiencing this? This is the problem with the icons not syncing between the servers. There is a job that is supposed to run automatically to do this but does not run automatically. The job must to be now run manually now by Groundspeak. Once the icon for the most recent category is uploaded Waywizard will request the job to be run. Quote Link to comment
+Benchmark Blasterz Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Hello icon artists We are in need of unique icons for the new Dovecotes category and also for Household Appliances. I am not arty that way, so who would like to get their pixels out and help us? Quote Link to comment
+Chickilim Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) After a few hours working on it, here is an icon that seems to me well suited to the category of Dovecotes. However, I remain open to other graphic proposals which could be put to the vote of the officers of the category. Edited January 21, 2017 by Chickilim Quote Link to comment

Lumbricus is right, here is an example of version that keeps the same style as the old ones: Ok, let's forget the perspective and return to the 2D for icones' homogeneity. I took the version of razalas and I removed a row of holes of flight that do not exist on this type of dovecote and I darkened the color of the pigeons in flight so that we see them better. As a Leader in the Dovecotes category, I give my approval for this new version and wait for the final decision... Quote Link to comment

It will be hard to decide between the spinning wheel and sewing machine, but I think the sewing machine wins by a thread lol May I suggest abbreviating 'Latin America' to 'Lat Amer'? Then perhaps the benchmark can be a bit bigger and the whole icon will be easier to see ... Quote Link to comment
+T0SHEA Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 razalas, you are sure creative. Though I really like the spinning wheel, perhaps the sewing machine would be a better fit. It does have more contrast which would show better as an icon. So lets go with the sewing machine. Thank you again, it is greatly appreciated. Barb of BK-Hunters Quote Link to comment
+bluesnote Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I have also tried to create an icon to the "Latin American Benchmarks" category: I like this category icon, but I was thinking of something that included a representation of all the countries, versus just words. The category name already includes this. Something similar to this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1f/Latin_America_Flag_Proposal.png I prefer the one above as it includes the colors of flags of the countries included in Latin America. The sundevil on the top could be replaced by the benchmark icon. Similar to what we have with Latvia Benchmarks and Belgian Benchmarks. or even: http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/conworld/images/0/05/Latin_America_flag.svg/revision/latest?cb=20090131090714 With the current benchmark icon that we already have included somewhere, possibly below the flag/country representation as done with similar categories in the past. Since I'm no expect when it comes to editing gifs, I have minimal experience here, a better more simplistic solution would be to have the word "Latin", as done with Canadian (CAN) benchmarks and Vértices Geodesics (Spain Benchmarks) (ESP) and Portugal Geodetic Points (PT). It would work much better when trying to make room for the benchmark icon. I believe this would be the best solution. Quote Link to comment
