+Lizzzzeeeee Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Unfortunately all the messages are shown as being new on my PC - I really don't want to go into each one and I really like just quickly looking at the lists of new postings. Any ideas anyone? Also, where have all the little smiley faces gone? I've tried clicking options but I just get Disable or Pure HTML. Oh no - silly me - if you click the smiley face you get all the different face options - easy peasy!!!!

+The Targett Family Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I think the New Forums R gping to take a while to get use to. They do more and R a little more server friendly for GeoC.com I'm still holding judgement on the forums but I think I could grow to like them. they seem to be a little quicker & no jumping from page to page Kids Caches and Mayhem what a day in the celtic tribal city.

Hey has anyone noticed no more flitting back a forth, when quoting people in the forum now. Copy and past could not be simpler. By the way Simon I love the spider game any chance I could put it onto my site too.

+Lizzzzeeeee Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I'm really confused. They seem to have turned off the ability to look at someones cache history. You can get their profile but its only the forum profile. Or am I just being dumb - maybe someone can help. Also, everytime I come to the forum from my favourites option I'm not logged in. Both these are bad things (unless I'm just doing something wrong! (nearest icon I could get to dumb blond!!))

+The Bennett Family Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 OK. I didn't see Simon's post before i posted (If that makes sense) If it's a bug that's gonna get fixed then that's not so bad.

The bug that Elias referred to was people's profile not updating. The new "feature" I'm referring to is the inability to look up someone's real profile (ie their cache stats). I'm off to find a way to find them through the geocaching.com site - can't say I've seen it before unless you find a cache log they've done (impossible when you have people who haven't logged or planted a cache yet). These changes really do seem to be pants (and slightly poohy ones too - sorry if that offends but I have small children so poohy pants are quite the talk of the table in our house!)

+Lizzzzeeeee Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 It may be a bug but there is a way round to find someone's cache stats. Click on their name. The drop down menu will appear. Click on View Recent Posts by Mr X then go to the third column "Author" and click - hey presto it takes you to the geocaching stats page and you can see their caches. Sorry but it's female instinct to be nosey and I just had to find a way. I'm happy now. I can go to bed, night night!

+Lizzzzeeeee Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Slightly less tortuous (edit - no changed my mind - slightly more tortuous), go to the geocaching.com Hide & Seek a Cache page and enter the username in the "Or, Caches found by username" box right at the bottom. The only problem you have is that you have to get the user name exactly right. I tried with you Bill and got some chappie in the US because I neglected to enter the (wwh) suffix!!!

+John Stead Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Am I dreaming but didn't the old forums have "Previous Topic" and "Next Topic" buttons at the top as well as the bottom. All I can see now are those at the bottom which means that if you do not want to read a topic you have to hit end to get to the bottom before skipping forward - or am I just more dozy than usual at this time of day?
