+Path Pacer Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 I know this has been brought up before, but I don't seem to be able to add to those threads so I thought I'd start a new one. Has GS considered showing a blue frownie for DNFs? I'd like the visual reminder on the map indicating that perhaps I should revisit my failures. As I continue to log more and more finds, it's getting harder to remember which ones need revisiting. Quote

+T.D.M.22 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Are those couple threads locked because they had been in Keystone words "improvidently bumped." Actually I've just wanted to use that word for a long time Anyway if it's keeping track of which caches you want to revisit, you could always create a bookmark list. Quote
+larryc43230 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Anyway if it's keeping track of which caches you want to revisit, you could always create a bookmark list. This is what I do. I maintain a Bookmark List named, appropriately, "DNFs that are still haunting me." When I'm planning for a day of geocaching, I'll often use one of the caches on that list as the principal target for the day. --Larry Quote
+Path Pacer Posted September 12, 2015 Author Posted September 12, 2015 Sure, I could do that, but I want frownies instead. It's just my personal preference and why I suggested it for the website. Quote
+niraD Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 As long as they're optional, sure. I'd rather see the icon for the cache type than an icon for my previous DNF log. As long as I can view the map that way, I have no objection to others seeing the DNF icon instead of the cache type icon. Quote
+Great Scott! Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 The blue frownie would have to replace the geocache type icon on the map. Then you wouldn't see the geocache type icon on the map. Would you need different DNF icons for each Geocache type? Quote

As long as I can view the map that way, I have no objection to others seeing the DNF icon instead of the cache type icon. I've suggested this before...but why not change the background color of the cache-type icon? They already do this for caches that are disabled by giving them a darker gray background. So why not just give it a different background color - like a blue or red color - that stands out? Edited September 16, 2015 by J Grouchy Quote

As long as I can view the map that way, I have no objection to others seeing the DNF icon instead of the cache type icon. It's been suggested many times before, but even something as simple as a red circle or other marker around the normal icon would serve to retain both the cache type information and log it as a DNF on the map.
