Popular Post +NanCycle Posted September 8 Popular Post Share Posted September 8 The Owner Maintenance log is supposed to be used when the CO has performed some sort of maintenance, not just thinking about it. "I will get out there this week" is properly a WRITE NOTE not an OWNER MAINTENANCE. 9 4 Quote Link to comment

+Viajero Perdido Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 How are they supposed to know that? "MAINTENANCE DONE" as the log type should fix it. One simple word, remove a redundant one... 3 1 Quote Link to comment
+Viajero Perdido Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 That could be read (if light grey on white can be read at all) to include future maintenance. I plan maintenance; this log type is about maintenance. Quote Link to comment

+Calypso62 Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 One thing I've noticed is that, on a basic account using the geocaching app on Android, there is no Write Note log type on owned caches. The only log types available are Owner Maintenance, Disable and Archive. 3 Quote Link to comment

+Max and 99 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Is that the official geocaching app! The layout looks different than mine. Quote Link to comment

Nothing will fix it as long as COs know that posting Maintenance resets the flag and inhibits the reviewers from setting deadlines. 3 Quote Link to comment

Solid black text that shows above where you enter the log text. It can be hidden if desired after a certain threshold. Visual design. I know I rarely every read more than a word or 2 of input-box preview text if I'm about to type over it. Survey: How many novice users have actually read the "Describe the..." preview text on that input box? Quote Link to comment
