(This new forum SW has got me thrown a bit, I keep clicking on the wrong things -- some of the changes seem they are solely for the sake of being different :blink: )

 

FYI - They didn't just make changes, they installed all new forum software. Most of the changes are hard coded into the new software, they are not just things that Groundspeak changed. RM

What's the "+Quote" button for? It used to reply to someone and include their post. Now "Reply" does that.

 

It toggles the quote on or off for a reply.

OK if you hit "- Quote" and then hit "Reply" this is what happens........

 

I thought "Add Reply" was for replying without a quote?

Grrrrrrrr. The old forum had a button where you could go to new posts within a thread. I don't seem to be able to find it in the new format. Has anyone found a way to skip straight to the new posts within a thread?

click on the little image like this one newpost.gif that is next to the threads.

OIC! It keeps grouping all your responses in one giant response if you hit "Quote +" and then hit "Reply"....

In regards to scratches on your screen.

 

I think I've mentioned these before, but I recommend Invisble Shield screen protectors to be placed on your GPS when you first get it. They send you one, but that's all you need. It works, doesn't come off and in guaranteed forever. I dropped my eXplorist on the ground and the shield got a little dimple, but the screen was fine. I could get another shield right now just for that.

They're only $10. If you're willing to pay $100 more at REI you might as well protect your investment. It's going to cost you that much in gas to go down to the store and get a new unit.

Well, hush my mouth. I guess that button just looks pretty. Call it the Winchester Mystery House button... just for show.

 

You can always get rid of quotes by deleting everything in the box before you start typing.

You missed my subsequent post.......I figured out what the "Quote +" button does.

The "Quote +" button groups all your responses to different posts into one giant response....So if you comment on two different conversations you can group those posts into a single post instead of having two individual posts.

Aw heck, gimme that "Duck Blind" thingy. Might as well throw in that darned TT Nuisance #1 while you're at it, especially since you've replaced the container already. You'll owe me LLOT.

 

The way it is I'm up and down that darned trail more often than not. Besides, there's a DQ at Portobello and Santo. I have to keep in DQ training for my outings with the fabulous Geobabes.

 

Good luck in your retirement and do post photos so's we can keep up with your adventures.

I have to wonder why everyone seems willing to take TT's MTRP Nuisance Cache #1 but there have been no offers on #2.... :ph34r:

 

I guess one of these days I should try to go out there and find those nuisance ones so I can understand.

 

Yeah, well, take a stool and some refreshments with you for Nuisance #1. On the other hand for Nuisance #4 take a sleeping bag and tent.

Hmmm.... I still don't get how you'd quote from more than one reply at the same time (unless they're nested quotes). When I look at the quotes in your post, they look exactly the same to me.

Good morning cachers!

 

The bikedog memorial coins are in full production, and will be delivered in about 3 weeks. These coins are trackable on the geocaching website, and will have a custom bikedog icon.

 

I have set up a link to purchased the coins HERE.

So #1 is easier than #4? I have already had the "fun" of finding Nuisance #4. It took Tex (of Tex&Capie) and I about 20 minutes to find it. Thankfully that rock pile was already mostly gone before I got into geocaching. :o

Nothing quite compares to digging through that pile of stones at Nuisance #4.

 

On the other hand there's a couple of issues to consider about Nuisance #1. First you've got to spot it and then you've got to grab it. As in many other aspects of life it's the grabbing where the nuisance comes in.

 

For Nuisance #4 it's the finding that counts whereas for #1 it's the grabbing that counts.

 

To put the Nuisance caches into perspective none of them annoy as much as that danged MTRP "Uppa the Hill Downa the Hill" of Cegrube's. Any chance you want to be a member of the Cegrube firing squad?

 

I must be nuts, now I'm the proud owner of three TT Nuisance caches.

The "neat" thing about the MTRP Nuisance caches is that each is a nuisance in it's own unique way. #1 is fairly easy to find. Siging it, on the other hand... :DB)B)

This one is the true MTRP Nuisance Cache...not only is it a pain in the tush to get to, it makes finding #4 seem relatively easy.

 

Three days ago, I would have been willing to sign up for the Cegrube firing squad...but then I encountered Put on the Feedbag #1 -- Paul Bunyan's One A Day and I'm inclined to commute the sentence to a life-time of community service (that's the caching community, of course!)

Not sure, but you don't want to sneak up and scare them while they are counting....

The sign is correct! Center for Plant Conservation

 

I always thought it was interesting how manzanita is a protected plant. The stuff is all over the place.

Aww shucks. The Nuisance series isn't that bad. :)

 

OK....#1...yeah...a sick sense of humour and me thumbing my nose at those cachers who cache and dash through MTRP. Here's one that says, "yeah....you can find me...but can you log me?"

 

#2: An aborted idea of mine, that due to Admin, defaulted to a regular cache with a long hike. Originally it was going to be a moving cache within the confines of MTRP.

 

#3: Yeah...the puzzle rears it's ugly head. Hell, MTRP NEEDED a puzzle cache! Doesn't mean necessarily it has to ALL be in MTRP does it? :huh:

 

#4: TCD. Terrestrial Camouflage Device. Say no more. :):)

 

Actually I think there are two more Nuisance bombs that I planted but never got round to activating. Of course I've lost the coords since, so no biggie.

 

For those of you who have re-adopted my caches, send me a note if anything needs done or replaced.

I don't know much about Lowrance gps units, but Woot.com has one on sale today with a built in MP3 player...for whatever that's worth! It's only $139.00, so that is why I posted about it.

 

You can see it Here.

 

Their deals run from either 9 or 10PM each evening, (I can't remember which one it is), and end the next evening, or when they run out.

Funny product description on the Lowrance,

 

"Pick your destination and the iFinder will lead you there with allegedly “intuitive” directions. Cheapskates can plan routes that specifically exclude toll roads, while the incontinent will appreciate the built-in guide to services at interstate exits across the country."

 

"And unlike Seattle Seahawks placekicker Josh Brown, its GPS+WAAS receiver is accurate to within 7 meters."

Has anybody heard of Otayzilla?!

 

I caught one in a remote lake in Northern Minnesota (aren't they all remote?) back in 1987. I caught it while fishing late at night, supposedly the only time they can be caught. Apparentely they've spread to lakes across the country. These are the only pictures I have of the "creature" I caught that night.

O-Tay Zilla !
