That's the place where Lackeys are sometimes seen to respond to the issues they cause. Edited May 14, 2019 by K13 speeeling 1 Quote Link to comment
+ecanderson Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 I figured that if someone was trying to make use of the feature (I know several cachers who use the same link, personalized, as a regular bookmark), they might want to know 'how to' get that particular functionality back.

It's not something that can be 'fixed'. It's a function of the mess that the new 'search' has created. Since the old search has been abandoned, the new url structure will be necessary for anyone who had a bookmark like this for newly placed caches in their area. 1 Quote Link to comment

Looks like someone found a workaround in the other thread you posted in: Probably best to close this duplicate discussion. Quote Link to comment
