+The Targett Family Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 WE have now updated our site to include icones to help Disabeled people, families and hopefully to explaine parkin ect, this was in reply to this thread difficulty and terrain Hopefully this will help people in the future when they visit our website. But do people think Geocahing.com should implement this kind of icon system? I understand the legistics of this for the admin people, but would subscribers find this helpfull?

There was talk of jeremy adding some to the next version of geocaching.com. "ScooterJ" produced some prototypes here (actually, it's surprising how much common ground they share with your set - great minds think alike! ) Quote

+The Targett Family Posted March 10, 2003 Author Posted March 10, 2003 I've read this thread too but still no signe of icons. I thaught as I'm a new site that I could experiment on the behalf of geoc.com and let them know what they need. What do you ssay Teasel? Kids Caches and Mayhem what a day in the celtic tribal city.

+Pharisee Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 The last time I looked, there was nowhere on the cache submission form to select or place any icons so how would you get them onto the cache sheet? I know a lot of you do stuff with ‘html’ and it would probably be no problem for you but how would a ‘mere mortal’ with absolutely no knowledge of stuff like that do it? If there’s an easy way, could someone enlighten me, please? John Age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability. Quote

As far as I can work out it will be implemented Real soon now. Jeremy is promising a large overhall of the site within a month or so, including an improved GPX format, better handling of locationless caches and a whole host of other goodies.

+Teasel Posted March 15, 2003 Posted March 15, 2003 quote:Originally posted by The Targett Family:What do you ssay Teasel? The question of storing extra data about geocaches has been raised before. I would like to add a feature to G:UK to allow people to give marks out of 10 for caches they've visited. Others could then search/sort on these scores. Also, the cacher stats could then reflect total/average quality of caches placed/hidden etc. I've asked GC.com whether they mind other sites holding extra data about GC.com caches but received no response. As for extra attributes such as dog-friendliness, I have no interest in spending time developing prototype code which will be thrown away when GC.com implement the feature themselves. Quote

Ok then, you asked if gc.com should add icons, I was justing pointing out they "plan" on doing so. And FWIW- one of the other caching websites has had icons for a while. They have icons for Water, Restrooms, Handicapped Acess, Pets, Parking Lot, and Entry Fee. Quote
