bůbbles Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) the new one is just unbearable. anyone out there who has the same opinion? edit - details: no matter which GC-number I search for: I ALWAYS get the notice, that it can't be found - though it's listed on the left side. does anybody have the same problem or just me? and I don't don't want to click on "open listing" (on the top - righthand side) - I want the listing to open immediately when I search for a specific cache-number. I enclose screenshots to make it clearer. Edited July 18, 2021 by bůbbles I made it clear, why I am so angry about the new gc-website 3 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment

+Goldenwattle Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Watch still doesn't work for me. I can click on the other things in the list, but not 'Watch' . I notice there is no image on the left for that. Quote Link to comment
+barefootjeff Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I also have no image next to Watch, but clicking on the word Watch works for me, it goes to my Watchlist page and adds the cache to the list. I'm using Firefox 90.0 on Windows 10. Quote Link to comment

What is the specific bug or feature that is troubling you? Please edit your original post. I can think of features from 20 years ago that I'd like to see brought back. Having a more specific topic will help prevent the discussion from becoming an unorganized free-for-all. 1 Quote Link to comment

Keystone Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I had no trouble pulling up both of those caches using the homepage search function by GC Code. Did you wait for the two options to show up after you typed the GC Code into the search box, and only then picking one of the options? One choice gives you search results near the specified cache code, and the other takes you to that cache code's cache page. 4 Quote Link to comment
bůbbles Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 dear keystone, did you try this on your mobile phone as well? it always shows me there, that the GC-number can't be found - without offering 2 options. @niraD: I said PLEASE... 1 Quote Link to comment

I tried on my mobile phone. I was given two options and the Earthcache came up just fine. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I also have no difficulties searching by GC Code in the official app for iPhone, or using the Safari browser on my iPhone to search using the website homepage. Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) OK There's clearly a bug here and I can reproduce this error, here's how: From the GC website choose Play/Search enter GC7QZD5 in the search box and choose the 16 km radius option on the results page click "Map These Geocaches" The site then displays this, note that GC7QZD5 is the first cache in the list on the left even though the dialog box says it can't be found. I tried a couple of other GC codes and they all fail in the same manner. ETA: It would be bizzarre if this was a browser issue but just in case this faile with both Firefox and Google Chrome on Linux . Edited July 27, 2021 by MartyBartfast 2 Quote Link to comment

It appears the bug is with the first option, the distance. Edited July 27, 2021 by Max and 99 Quote Link to comment
bůbbles Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 I wonder, what the "search"-button is made for, when each time I click on it, I get the answer, that the listing can't be found. Instead I have to wait a few seconds, until below the typed-in-gc-code the correct one pops up and then click on this one. weird indeed. ps: niraD - I am glad, I don't share your type of humour. sad, that you ignore a polite "please"... 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment
