+spirothebudgie Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Hello all! Just noticed a minor but slightly annoying problem with the new system of making a geocache listing on the website. I went to set up a new cache this evening and put in the coordinates of the location I wanted to place it. As usual it displayed the spot on the map showing that the area was clear with no other caches less than 161 metres nearby. I then clicked on the next button where I was taken to the page of additional waypoints to add. Seeing as I had none to put in I just clicked through it quickly. It then took me all the way back to the start all over again. I did this several times thinking I must have missed something or the location was too close to another cache, but eventually worked out that if you click through it too fast it does this! Has anyone else had this problem or is it just something to do with my internet connection? I found waiting about 10 seconds between each page stopped the problem. Thanks! spirothebudgie Edited October 3, 2015 by spirothebudgie Quote Link to comment
+Viajero Perdido Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Hadn't noticed that, no. I just went through the "idiot-mode" process for the first time the other day, and noticed something different instead. (Not trying to derail your thread, M10Bike please note and file away.) After entering my text as plain text (didn't select HTML), it later came back with a bunch of HTML entities embedded, eg " " for a plain old space, and &h27; or somesuch for a plain quotation mark. Which I knew how to deal with; I changed them back manually. But that's funny, considering the blahblah above that edit box talks about filtering out "malicious code", and to some people, " " might just qualify. Sorry, now back to your topic.

+spirothebudgie Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Interesting! I have had similar things happen with the site as well on the cache listings where I have put in plain text and when I go back to edit it later symbols have been changed into weird strings of what looks like programming or something. The site has been running a lot slower on my machine since all the new updates, my computer is ancient so it takes a long time to load up the pages sometimes, especially the video that automatically plays when you go to log in about how to hide a cache! Personally I preferred the old system of hiding a cache which I had used for the last 2 years, but I'm sure the new one works just as well, I just need to get used to it! Back to the original problem: it was probably just a glitch anyway, I haven't had it happen since fortunately! Maybe I need to get a new computer!
