+sbell111 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I was fiddling around with one of my cache pages when -poof- the look of the page changed. I haven't wandered around very much, but so far I like the new look. Link to comment

+NotThePainter Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I own a mac and it looked fine. Hmm... It is working fine now also, but the new upper right buttons, the "2 users watching" and the attributes were all multiply rendered. Scrolling back and forth fixed it. If it happens again I'll grab a screenshot. Paul Link to comment

+RocketMan Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I like the new look. I played around with the new bookmark/watchlist features and they are great. I particularly like the ignore list feature. Have any other non cosmetic features been implemented? Link to comment
+NotThePainter Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 If it happens again I'll grab a screenshot. Paul It happened again. You can repeat this by going to a long cache page (one that requires scrolling), then Option click refresh to force the new images to be reloaded (not to come from Safari's cache), then scroll the web page while it is loading. That might seem like a lot, but it happen the very first time I went to the new site. I didn't need to option click since they were coming in from the server, and I scrolled down to check the logs before the entire page had loaded. Link to comment

Good point. I may reduce the width to a lower percentage to allow more greenspace to show up. I was just trying to maximize the viewing area for smaller browsers. Link to comment
Jeremy Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 If it happens again I'll grab a screenshot. Paul It happened again. This looks like a redraw issue in the actual browser. When I get home I'll look on my mac and see if I can duplicate it. Link to comment

+Eric K Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Just more curious than anything. I like how the pictures on the home page rotate. Are those pictures picked randomnly from all the pictures in your database or did you pick just specific pictures? Link to comment

Are those pictures picked randomnly from all the pictures in your database or did you pick just specific pictures? It's not random. The pictures are selected to be featured on the front page in a rotation. It's a great way to see cool images and keep the front page "fresh." In the future, I hope that Jeremy considers a voting mechanism or other type of contest/nomination process for users to submit outstanding gallery photos for use on the front page. Sort of like the voting for the Yellow Jeep Travel Bug photos. Edited February 16, 2005 by The Leprechauns Link to comment

+DavidMac Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Awesome! Went out to grab a nearby cache, came back to post a log, and things were... different. Only thing I've noticed so far is that it seems that the image shown when you mouse over the "hide and seek" link on anything other than the main page (the little 50x50 one to the right of the Groundspeak logo) doesn't seem to work- it just shows the 4-color geocaching logo that is supposed to be displayed when the mouse isn't over any link. It could be intentional, but I doubt it since it's the only one in the set that is in color. One question- where can I view/edit the ignore list? I ignored a cache just to test it out, and hopefully the cache isn't removed from view permanently... Link to comment

It should be listed there. Link to comment

+Hemlock Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I'd really like it if you would consider reducing the width back to where it was on the cache page I wouldn't go *THAT* far. The percentages used on the old site were a horrendous waste of space. The percentages used now are good, IMO, but somewhere in between might be ok. Link to comment
+Tharagleb Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Is it the intent that in the future premium members can download the waypoints from bookmarks as GPX instead of just LOC? Just askin' Link to comment
+Baptist Deacon Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Great new look. Maybe it was just my setup, but I had GC.com as my start page and it was bookmarked to www.geocaching.com/default.aspx. That kept bringing up the old site. Then when I clicked on something it would bring up the new site. Had me going for a few minutes, so if you had the site bookmarked and get the old site while everyone is talking about the new site, make sure you go to www.geocaching.com and nothing else. Hope this helps someone. Link to comment

Ditto! I too would love to see the background size changed back to it's previous size! Otherwise I really like all of the new changes! I especially like the book marks and the "ignore" features! Awesome! Edited February 16, 2005 by TheGeoGoes Link to comment
+AB4N Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 The new look is great, and the ignore list a blessing. Thank you! I noticed a couple of minor things that seem to be abnormal. There is now a hierarchical menu at the very top of the screen. From the quick view if I click on the Member Features link the hierarchical menu says that I am currently viewing Benchmarks Logged. Similarly the Travel Bugs link says that I am viewing Geocaches Owned/Found Minor details though. Link to comment
