I can't send this to GPS (because of the & character in the username)
There are problems with the Garmin Communicator Plugin. Basically, it's barfs on ampersands, even though the file we send to it is perfect. I think the solution is going to have to be that we strip every bit of HTML from a cache page before sending it to the Garmin.

Secondly it's taking forever to update my finds.
The page is way too busy, I don't need to look my avatar on my home page, I know what it looks like.

Yup, poorly timed "software fix". I guess I will go Terracache tommorow instead

The ability to decrypt the hint without refreshing the entire page was a HUGE success when it was introduced. Reverting to the "Quickest & Easiest" fix was a Bad Idea and Bad Programming. And all to fix a fairly minor bug.
As it was, I was hoping that the same ability would be offered when decrypting encrypted logs, but I guess that would not be quick, nor easy.

The left part is truncated so some text is missing. This is in IE and FF.
Until now I used to print the description pages. Before this, I decrypted the hint (very ugly that now the page is reloaded as noted before) and printed two or three pages. So I have some logs and were happy outside.
PDF formatting is ugly because it writes all the text in one line and does not print the decrypted hint - even if I decrypted it before.
"Print Simple (no logs)" is ugly because the missing logs and it does not print the decrypted hint - even if I decrypted it before.
Please bring back the old printing!

Any pages with photos (as with some of my mystery caches) many thing run off the right hand side of the page.
And, It's too bright! Bright white bothers my eyes.

OK, now I found the print buttons so the print is good, but no logs. If I want logs, I have to go with PDF

What I really would LOVE TO SEE :
A LINK TO A LIST OF THE WATCHERS OF MY CACHE(S).
At least for the cache OWNERS, it is not a big secret is it, if you watch the cache, you have nothing to HIDE is it, if you watch a cache !!!!
I THINK WHEN COINS ARE RIPPED, IT MUST HAVE BEEN ONE OF US !!!! SOMEONE WHO ALLREADY DID THE CACHE AND PUT IT ON THE WATCHLIST ! SO WHEN A CACHER LOGS AND MAKES THE REMARK OF A COIN DROP, SOMEONE CAN GET TO THE CACHE ASAP !!!
I will not believe it goes like this, but unfortunately it has to be this way in many cases...
Maybe when the list is public (again : at least for the owner), they will not watch a cache that soon ?? I don't know, I just think it would be nice if such a link would be provided to the cache-owners, or for everybody...
***
So for a new release please consider a link by :
You are 1 of 9 user(s) watching this cache.
-or-
6 User(s) are watching this cache.
Thanx,
IkbenMamma

It used to be where you click decrypt/encrypt and it did not refresh the page. Now the when you click decrypt/encrypt, the page refreshes.
So when you want to get back to the search results page by clicking the back button, you have to click back 3 or 4 times.
Other than that problem, I love the home page design. I am very happy that the log in is now on the home page.
Guess I am glad I always and still use FireFox/Greasemonkey/Mnenhy to do this for cache hints and the logs. Highlight, right click, decrypt.

What about this for a suggestion... MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT AHEAD OF TIME WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO DO A MAJOR SITE UPDATE!!!!
I can't log in at all, and still haven't received a PQ that I was going to use on my trip to MS tomorrow. With a little advance warning, I would have downloaded the PQ either this morning or yesterday.

It is a privacy issue, and it will never happen. This topic is for problems related to the current code release, not for feature requests. If you search the forums, you will see this has been discussed before. Please stick to code release issues only.

I don't hate it but I heartily agree about seeing the # of finds for "My Friends"! It's a quick way to see what they've been up to.
I also agree about the "Welcome" box with avatar etc. - unecessary clutter IMHO
That said, I acknowledge the great work these folks do for us!! Thanks guys and gals

I'll shut down for a few minuted and then come try again. Before this happened, I noticed that some larger text in my profile page had the lines overlapping each other with no seperrating space

I'm glad they're smarter (and/or more educated) and more persistant than me. It would never get fixed if I was working on it. I'd be balled up crying in the corner.

If I am on my own page ... http://www.geocaching.com/my/ .... and I would like to see the pictures in my gallery, the way I do it now is as follows:
I open Geocaches (Mine)
I click of one of my cache(listings)
I click on my name at : a cache made by ikbenmamma
Then I see my profile, the way other people see my profile...
Last step;
I click om GALLERY !!!!
***
I would love to see a DIRECT link from the http://www.geocaching.com/my/
Maybe there is some space to create at this line ...
Quick View | Watchlist | Geocaches (Mine) | Travel Bugs (Mine) | Benchmarks | Member Features | My Friends
Excually ?? I think QUICK VIEW is NOT nesscesarry ?? up there (Do not know how to spell these), because the MY ACCOUNT on your left is ALWAYS THERE !!!!
So it IS possible for exemple to change Quick View in Gallery....

Right hand side of your my account page is a view profile link it takes you to your profile as others see it. Its always been there in one form or another. From there you can click your gallery.

If you are on your account page just click on the stat banner ( which takes you to the profile page everyone else sees) then the Gallery tab.

also, search by coordinates seems to be broken for me. I entered "n 37 19.351 w 122 03.195" into the box and it returned me caches near "n 00 00.000 e 000 00.000"

I just tried it on the hide and seek page and got this as the result.
