The Related Web Page option was removed from the Cache Submission Process a few years ago. And now, it is removed from future listings (only old listings that already had that field filled out will show up). The cartridge link and information related to puzzles should be provided in the description. (It should also be noted that the related web page is already not displayed in the mobile app). This simply isn't true. I created a new puzzle cache last month and it has a related web page link where the solution is recorded. So the related web page option could not have been removed "a few years ago". They didn't say the option was removed a few years ago. They said it was removed from the Cache Submission Process a few years ago. It has still been available on the old edit page all along, so you could still utilize it after you initially created your listing. That had to be what you did with your recent cache. 2

So far none of them has disappeared. That's risky. While the images haven't been deleted yet, there's no guarantee that they won't be at some point in the future. AWS storage costs money. It's entirely foreseeable that HQ may decide to remove all orphaned images at some point in order to reduce the amount of storage being used. They did this in the past when the images were still stored on their own servers, so it isn't a stretch of the imagination to think that they may do it again. 2

Not at all. It is intended as a way for a cacher to know that a wheelchair-bound friend can accompany them on their trip. Since T1, by definition, means that the site is accessible AND the cache can be reached from the wheelchair, my thought is that any other T value plus the attribute would imply that the site can be reached by wheelchair, but the cache cannot be.

I've never seen that definition used in relation to the wheelchair attribute. It was always my understanding that "Wheelchair Accessible" refers to accessing the cache, not just that some aspect of the experience is wheelchair-accessible. There really needs to be a clear, unambiguous definition of how the Wheelchair Accessible attribute should be used. HQ, can you please come up with one so everyone is on the same page? I can't find any articles in the Help Center that provide such guidance and there seem to be differing opinions regarding its use, which means the attribute is probably being widely misused and not very useful.

Then cancelled the submission, edited, saved and resubmitted - another three times. Now it’s in the Reviewer’s queue again and the listing does not reflect my changes. After 108 hides I am reticent to hide any more. This is SO FRUSTRATING! Also why does an event have to be a T1? I’ve held events with D1/T4 in the past - on the summit of a mountain! Like me Phronimos lives in New Zealand and we do not have States or Provinces in our country but before the new changes we were able to choose North Island or South Island. Now we are unable to edit our submitted cache pages as the State/Province drop down box does not recognize North or South Island despite the option being there.

What are the capabilities of this standardized "Person on Wheelchair"? The capabilities of the wheelchair users I've know have varied widely. My puzzle cache is rated T1 and has the wheelchair accessible attribute, but not all of the wheelchair users I've known could retrieve and replace it. There's a good reason why the Handicaching site uses a much more detailed rating system than the geocaching.com distinctions of one-star terrain vs higher terrain ratings, or wheelchair accessible vs not wheelchair accessible. 1

T4 + Wheelchair attribute for a flat accessible path to the base of a tree with a T4 climb to the cache? If so, that is great! This isn't exactly what I would understand as wheelchair accessible.

Only if a difficult puzzle was required to determine where the event was being held (not permissible by the guidelines) or the attendees were all invisible and the seeker had to try and find them would it warrant bumping up the D. FWIW, I've had ideas for event locations that would be higher than D1, but they're based on the event location being non-trivial to find even if you reach the posted coordinates. For example, some restaurants have private rooms that are accessed by a hidden/secret door; if the staff is instructed not to show people the hidden/secret door, and to let people search for the hidden/secret door on their own, then that could be higher than D1. Or if the event is located in a multi-story building and there are multiple restaurants at the posted coordinates, and the event didn't specify which restaurant or which floor to go to, then that could be higher than D1. But given that Groundspeak won't allow event organizers to use a puzzle to determine the event location, I doubt such hard-to-find events would be published either.

+fizzymagic Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 I'm confused. I was under the impression that Groundspeak has gone to a "push new features and quickly iterate" development mode. Yet the grossly deficient coordinate checker introduced in the middle of October, more than a month and a half ago, has not yet been fixed, despite the rather obvious existence of code in the GS codebase to do so. Am I incorrect about the feature release cycle? Is it really the intent to keep adding useless or flawed features while ignoring existing problems? I mean, some of the changes announced this month were nice, but none really addressed the site's significant usability issues. And I am not just talking about the coordinate checker, either. For example, how does one navigate directly from one cache page to another by GC number? Can't be done. Can't even be done via the Search menu item. I end up manually pasting the GC number into the URL in the appropriate place, which is kind of ridiculous. Yet developer hours are being wasted on making cache submission more difficult (no editing the cache after submission, even to correct minor mistakes in wording) or constrained (events must be one star) or needlessly dependent on Javascript (waypoints, attributes).

As such, it affects the terrain rating, not the difficulty rating.

Many years ago she was forced to use a wheelchair for the last several years of her life and we used to go on day trips with her. If we went to the seaside, the kids and some of the adults would go swimming while other adults stayed on the boardwalk with her. There was no caching back then, but rolling the situation forward to today, it would be nice for someone in a similar situation to be able to plan a day trip where they could take the wheelchair and some of the group could find some caches on the way. I had envisaged using the T rating to define the cache and the attribute to show that a wheelchair could accompany the party. In the same way that "Stroller Accessible" means you can push a stroller there, not that the child in the stroller can reach the cache. That, I now know isn't the way HQ intend the attribute to be used, but I still think it would be a good feature to have. Maybe expand the meaning of the Stroller attribute to include wheelchairs, prams etc.

What was a guideline, is now being strictly enforced by the code, even for these existing caches.

In none of these cases the website tells the user what the problem is. Either you get a "Please enter valid coordinates." or "Please enter latitude and longitude values in DDM format only.".

Exactly what I'm saying 4 hours ago, arisoft said: 5 hours ago, 10011010 said: 1. How come there is no link back to view the cache page? There is "save" and "save and preview" instead. Use Ctrl+Back to open preview in different tab. Yep I tend to have at least 2 tabs open so a refresh is all that's needed rather than back and forth navigation. Now that waypoints and attributes are on the same page that's really only 2 tabs I'd have open (edit+preview). 1

Before you had to check two check boxes only once. It has always been necessary to click two buttons to save edits (I have read understood guidelines, I agree to terms of use). Now it's necessary to click one - an improvement. A Team has already spoken to this, but I'll repeat, the CSP has not had a related web page field for years. It WAS on the edit page. Now it's not. Most devices don't show it. Those puzzles that rely on it will need to careful !

Users of apps and mobile versions of the site (phone/tablet) don't see it. Maybe that is the primary reason? When I created my first Wherigo, I used the Related Web Page to link to the cartridge on Wherigo.com, and nowhere else. Later I got feedback from app users that it was easier for them if I had a link in the description itself, so I added that. 1
