+DomHeknows Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 I've just had a quick look at the main page and the most recent caches placed seems to have disappeared? Link to comment
Jeremy Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 That's right. The new cache list has been removed from the front page. Logs are much more active. Link to comment
+DomHeknows Posted April 23, 2004 Author Share Posted April 23, 2004 but the logs don't help me see if there are any new caches nearby - or at least the page never showed caches being approved whilst I was looking. Link to comment
Jeremy Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Search by state from the hide and seek a cache page at http://www.geocaching.com/seek The most recent is listed first, and it is regional, which is better than everywhere. Link to comment
+hedberg Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Yeah, but it doesn't help us who uses the excellent free service of NCALERT? Sometimes can you miss new caches since it can take a couple of days for them to be reviewed... But NCALERT are a great service who sends out a mail to you with info about the caches as they are approved. And since textmessages (SMS) are very popular on cellphones, do we get one set of the NCALERT to our email in our cellphone without extra cost! I have read somewhere that you (GC.com) are planning of making an own version of NCALERT, how are that process going? It is perfect to get an email to your cellphone while out geocaching, telling you about new caches nearby... Link to comment
+DomHeknows Posted April 24, 2004 Author Share Posted April 24, 2004 Thanks Jeremy - that is useful and I've bookmarked the uk page. Link to comment
+DomHeknows Posted April 24, 2004 Author Share Posted April 24, 2004 hmmm - the bookmarked page of http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?country_id=11 prompts me to hit the seek button next time I visit it. Is there a magic sequence of letters I need to add on the querystring to "press the seek button"? Link to comment
+Ttepee Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Wow is that really where it's going to be staying now? I have to say I'm not crazy about it at all... will the states at least be added in at some point? Right now I find recent logs completely useless. ..I used to scan for states...scanning for names is just way too hard so I just won't scan at all.. guess that's what your trying to get to happen huh. Less scanners? I can see your point in that but I really do feel it takes away from the site. It was hard enough to get used to not being able to see caches before approval... then they started slagging on their posting so it wasn't worth much.. now logs with no states..I gotta say something now. I don't like it! Link to comment
Jeremy Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Yes, logs will have the state or country listed in the next release (this week) Link to comment
+Ttepee Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Phew! Glad to hear it.. ok I'm happy again I've gotten used to the states pages for recent placed caches so this change could end up being an improvement once I get over myself and my habitual ways. Thanks for the quick response. Link to comment
