Since the old thread is so bogged down with old stuff, let's open up a new one. Please post your bugs here.

[BruceS]

When entering Waymark save without submitting I get following error when I click link "View Waymark" when I am on the page "Waymark Posted"

Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

Note I am not able to get back to that waymark either. It does not show in my unfinished waymark list either. Name of waymark is Weisel, Andrew, House - St. Charles, Illinois guid = guid=060d7c79-e256-4ca5-a535-fd20de249eb9

[Jake39]

I don't know if this was mentioned yet:

When clicking on the link of 'Waymark Visited' from a 'Waymark' logger you get this

-------> 404 Error
The action you took has generated a 404 page not found error.
Visit the 'B - "KEVIN SITES " - in the 'Hot Zone' ' waymark at the following address:

[WalruZ]

the "nearest waymarks" link on a waymark detail page takes you to the waymarking home page. This sux, because I use it alot. It's good though, because it's probably an easy fix.

[silverquill]

Can't review waymarks!

When I click on the link from the email notice, I get the buttons for approve and decline but just a white space where the waymark should be!

Also, I find the bright blue text against a dark teal background very difficult to read.

[WalruZ]

if I choose my home from saved searches and press go, i get a list back but it doesn't appear to be ordered by distance. What was the intent here?

[WalruZ]

A very common way for me to find a waymark is to select a known nearby geocache and choose the nearest waymarks link. This give me a 404 now. Go smack dem boyz upside de haid!!

[WalruZ]

On a waymark detail page, at the bottom are the logs for that waymark. each log has the name of the waymarker who left it as a link which, one assumes, takes you to their profile page. Instead all the links take you to your own profile page (because the links are all geocaching.com/my....)

[Rose Red]

I received a notice that a waymarker found my waymark. I get a error page not found message when I visit the log entry and I get a large map of downtown Portland when I visit the waymark using the addresses on the notification. I locate the waymark. I wish to thank the waymarker however I am rerouted to my profile page instead of accessing the waymarker's profile page.

We now return this from the I don't like it thread to the bug thread.....

I was viewing the photos on a visit log to one of my McD waymarks and discoverd that "Archive (Delete) this log" checkbox is in or under the photo.

BTW...I like the new site!

[WalruZ]

The new waymark page format selects an image from the gallery if there is no default image provided. Most of my posted waymarks have no default image - i format the html of the page directly. What happens in these cases is that the last photo uploaded to the waymark gallery is used as a default image, in many cases it's a visit photo and not even a listing photo. It would be nice to be able to tag an image as a default image and have the option of it showing up in the listing (as opposed to at the top of the listing) made seperate, if you see what i'm saying. I would like the default image to only show at the top of the listing, not in the body (which I would like to continue to format myself.) It would also be nice to be able to assign and unassign this attribute after the fact.

This assumes that the default image now both shows at the top of the listing and in the body of the listing. If that's not the case, let me know.

If that doesn't make sense it's because it's past my bedtime. ask and I will try again.

ETA - now I'm really confused. Apparently, when posting a visit log, you can specify that your visit photo is the default photo for the waymark. Thus, any visitor to one of my waymarks can upload a visit and say that their photo is the default photo for the waymark. Or something. Good night.

[Black Dog Trackers]

I really like the new site! There are LOTS of new capabilities there.

The first thing I made use of was the "My Unfinished Waymarks". I clicked in there and found 7 waymarks that I had made but never submitted! I submitted them. There was no submit button on the waymark's page, so I had to go to each one's edit page to do it, but I did it.

I also tried downloading a .loc file. It worked fine and I enjoyed seeing the fields and map on EasyGps. I must complain about one thing, though - I could only get a .loc file for 10 waymarks at a time. I'd click check all, but when I went to the next page and clicked it, the ones on page one got unchecked. It's a needless pain to join a bunch of .loc files to get a nice .loc file of all the local waymarks.

I don't know what "Featured Waymarks" are. What are they?

When I look at the main directory while "filtered by Origin: my home" (10 miles radius) and then click to sort by largest, the numbers shown are for the entire planet, not just the 10 mile radius. The numbers should be for just within the radius.

It seems odd to me that a waymark's page shows a nice map, but the map shows the location of my house or my search location, not the waymark's location. How about including a checkbox to swtch this map orientation? I know by now what a view of my house's location looks like on the map. I'd rather see where the waymark is on the map.

On a waymark's page, the place of online maps links for clicking on maps like Topozone and all the others seems to be completely gone.

[Shorelander]

A really minor, very edge-case problem:

I run OSX and use Safari. updated with the nightly builds of Webkit. As you can see here (image linked to because it is very wide), the "you are logged in as XXX" part of the black bar is over to the right. I don't know if this effects only recent nightly Webkit builds or those released as part of OSX Updates as well. For reference, I'm using the October 11th (420+) build on 10.4.8.


EDIT: Also, when looking at the newest or most popular categories, I get numbers to the right of the icon (like 298. {icon} Water Mills), but I have no idea what those numbers are supposed to correspond to (Water Mills is the 4th most popular category, according to the page).

[BruceS]

The URL's in the "your waymark has been visited" email generate a 404 error when clicked. (oops this was mentioned a few messages up the thread)

On home page the list of newest categories lists the 2 newest and then lists 297th, 298th and 299th newest. Same error when the "view all newest categories" link is clicked. The order of the "view all newest categories" list not ordered on subsequent pages either.

[BruceS]

I noticed that on waymarks where I am the leader of the category that I have an edit button for waymarks that don't belong to me. However when I click it I get an error.

It appears that only the leader gets this extra button, as on categories I am not the leader but only an officer I don't have that button.


BTW once all the bugs are worked out, the new release looks good and lots of user suggestions have been added.

silverquill,

Had the same issue. Just click your "My categories" link on the right side, then scroll to the category needing a review, there's a "!" icon next to it (wish I had saved that page so I could link to the image, but you'll see it). Click that "!" icon and it takes you to the valid review page.

edit: found it in another thread, maybe they should be merged?

The new site layout looks great - i've had to refresh a few pages, change some bookmarks, and "empty cache" seems to help.

Only real problem I have had so far, is image uploading. Sometimes the images will upload properly, most of the time I end up with a nearly blank page and the pic not having uploaded. Problem seems to occur in both IE and Firefox (on PC, havent tried from my Mac yet.)

Image editing abilities (like on geocaching) would have been VERY nice to have. I've had to re-upload a few images that needed rotation, and the ability to edit titles/descriptions would have been helpful. Or, have I missed something?



EDIT: I re-created my image files, and upload seems to work. Or its a coincidence that things are working now.

I noticed that the url that is in the email that a waymark has been submitted for review is different than the one when you click from my categories. The url from email does not work, the one from my categories does

Example:

Does not work(email):
http://www.waymarking.com/cat/approve.aspx...76-6157422d6122

Does work (my categories)
http://www.waymarking.com/cat/approve.aspx...p;r=50&tp=6

[Jake39]

Please look over the waymark details below to determine if it meets your category's criteria. If you decide to decline the waymark, you must provide a reason for doing so in the following text field:

The following waymarks have been posted within 1 mile of this waymark. Please make sure the waymark you are reviewing is not already on this list:

[Accept Waymark] ----------- [Decline Waymark]

Total Records: 0 - Page: 1 of 0 Prev. << <[]> >> Next
Total Records: 0 - Page: 1 of 0 Prev. << <[]> >> Next

Received 3 "Waymarks" for approval overnight. Only the above, an empty box in between and a side panel and a bit more is visible but with no links working to view the Waymarks.
If I click on the red next arrow buttons ( red added for identification by me) the page returns to "Home Page"

I'll have this fixed as soon as the next update completes (10-20 minutes).

You should be able to access the waymarks that require review from the mycategories link on the right side of the page. Each category that requires review will have a triangular icon with an exclamation point. Click on the exclamation point and it will take you to your review list for that category.

Thanx Bruce ! You illustrated it 'Moh bettah' the last link (My Categories) does work but a long way around from my e-mail!

In the Train Depot category there were two waymarks in the que for review that had not been approved. They have vanished. When I go back and try the emails I get a 404 for the waymark.

Featured waymarks are a list of waymarks we've selected to display randomly on the front page, sort of like the photos on GC.com. We'll likely expand on this feature in the future, to allow more community input for which waymarks are displayed. I don't have the link readily available, but Nate posted a thread earlier asking for some ideas.

You have that option now.

[UPDATE]

Actually, I misunderstood the question at first. You can't presently filter out the waymarks you own. However, if you have visited your own waymarks, you can select the "exclude visited waymarks" option in the "my waymarks" section and view only the waymarks that you haven't visited yet.
