NEW NEAREST CACHE PAGE

[+Desert Warrior]

Jeremy asked for comments or bugs to be posted here.

 

In the last version, short-cuts and favourites would take you to the list of caches in a nation. The new style page takes you to a search page, i.e. more key strokes required to get to a nation and a tad annoying.

The new cache page is sufficiently different in page organization that it takes some time to get used to how the caches are labeled.

 

I would really like to see the nearest cache page be a configurable page (at least for members). In the preferences listing, you could ask for only unfound caches, or only certain kinds of caches. This would be more of a database issue, but not a hard one as the number of options could be kept to 2-3 and thus reduce processing time.

 

This would auto edit the page down to a list that I could actually use instead of weeding though a list of caches I already found, or a list of caches that I don't want to find.

 

Overall, the readability of the fonts and layout is good. There seems to be more on a page, which is an improvement.

I'm one all for change, but I have to say I liked the old layout better. But I'm sure there were reasons to change it and that it's better for some reason.

 

I liked the how the old one automatically put the found ones at the bottom automatically without having to do any other special things. AS Desert Warrior put it, additional Keystrokes. I entered it from the main page and still do over on the right where it says Find the nearest Cache. I would put in my zip code and as long as I was logged on, my found caches would show up at the bottom. Now if I go in that way. Thye are all mixed in but have the "X" in the brackets.

 

I will one day find out how it will better benefit me, hopefully.

Actually, there's a massive thread here. Seven pages and growing.
