Suggestion: change "Write note" to "Owner note" for owned caches

[+Estraneo]

Hi, I've recently come up with a small adjustment that - in my opinion - would make logs a little clearer.

 

I suggest that the "Write note" log type automatically displays as "Owner note" for notes logged by the cache owners. We could also invent a new icon for that, perhaps.

 

I'm aware that "Write note" isn't a tremendously frequent log type but I'd love to be able to distinguish notes left by a cache owner. Right now the only distinction among notes is between reviewer notes and other notes. For me that's not enough, I'd like for cache owner notes to be as easily visible as reviewer notes. Cache owner notes could be more important than seeker notes, as they may take a form of an announcement or include a public response.

 

I've attached a screenshot showing logs from one of my archived caches. There are 10 "regular" notes, some of which are mine. I'd prefer to know how many notes are from other users.

I think this might be easy enough to implement, at least from this point onwards. I'm not sure about past logs.

If you click on all logs you can instantly see how many are yours.

I support this idea but even more useful would be the possibility to see only all logs from the cache owner.

Wow, I had no idea this feature existed on the website - I usually just endlessly scroll through the logs. I've been wondering about it too and was thinking about posting a topic but now I don't need to!

 

I've found this similar feature useful in the field on the app (android) where you can sort past logs by All, Friends, You, and Owner. I did this recently to see all the owner's Write Notes and piece together additional hints to make the grab!

It would be nice if the website included the ability to sort by owner logs as well.

This would also be useful after a cache owner changes. Searching Note logs for the current owner will miss such for any previous owner. By contrast, Owner Notes would remain across adoptions.
