Guest Kimrobin Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 Don't know if anyone has noticed but if you click on a cachers name on a cache page or cache log you get to their profile page. I did ours a few days ago http://www.geocaching.com/profile/default.asp?A=19781 but up to now I don't think any other UK cachers have done theirs. Kim doesn't care much for the pics on ours but I think they are OK. Alex & Kim [This message has been edited by Kimrobin (edited 03 March 2002).] Quote Link to comment
Guest el10t Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 I had already done mine - except for the photos part, which I am still deliberating over. I need to make myself look good after all. :-) Quote Link to comment
Guest jeremyp Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 Filled in the details. The photo upload seemed to be broken :-( It might be a MacIntosh thing, but it's worked for me before when uploading to cache logs. ------------------ Why use one word when two polysyllabic agglomerates will do?

Guest Spog Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 Just a suggestion regarding the profile page: You can add your email address and the form says: Display Email If you wish for people to see your email address, enter it here. To keep spam filters from grabbing your email address, insert NOSPAM in your email address (eg. conNOSPAMtact@Groundspeak.com) May I humbly suggest that you put the extra text AFTER the @. If a spammer used the above address, it would get all the way to the Groundspeak mail server before getting bounced - which uses up Groundspeak's resources. With the domain part of the address being munged, it wouldn't get out of the spammer's mail server. Spog Quote Link to comment
Guest jeremyp Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 u put the extra text AFTER the @. If a spammer used the above address, it would get all the way to the Groundspeak mail server before getting bounced - which uses up Groundspeak's resources. With the domain part of the address being munged, it wouldn't get out of the spammer's mail server. Spog Actually, it wouldn't go to Groundspeak's server at all, it'd go direct to your ISP and then get bounced, unless you have one of those accounts which allows unlimited e-mail addresses. e.g. on my domain - jeremyp.net - anything@jeremyp.net will get forwarded to my normal e-mail address. This is another reason why your advice is good. Probably the best thing to do is remove the @ sign so you get geocachingATjeremyp.net. If you're lucky the address harvester won't even recognise it as an e-mail address. ------------------ Why use one word when two polysyllabic agglomerates will do?

el10t Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 I supose one could always post a "pseudopict" much like Swampie seems to have done (I am assuming that is not a real photo ) if we do not wish to disclose our true ugly mugs. El10t Quote Link to comment

El10t i think it's acceptable to have what you want in the little piccy box. A lot of US cachers seem to have symbols or icons. I'll stick with the beer mug shot for the time being.

Well, you did until Jeremy had to turn the new style back off because it had broken so many browsers. If you were using IE under Windows you were probably Ok. If you weren't, you got weirdness like black text on a black background, and fonts three feet high, and... InfoPop are working on fixing it, apparently... Purrs...

Anyway IE on Mac OSX worked OK too but it's nice to see people taking notice of the fact that not everybody has or wants M$ software. We're going to need a bigger boat! Quote Link to comment
