Hi-lighting caches [closed]

Post by swampgecko » 16 February 05 5:53 pm

Gentlemen,(I do include Rog in that :wink: )

If I may make a suggestion?

Can we get the hi-lighting of GCA listed caches carried through to the other pages? ie the Recommended caches page, hit lists, cacher profile pages etc etc etc...? This would be a very quick guide to what caches a person hs listed where... Take Riblit for example, His latest cache, Hidden History 8, is hi-lighted on the state page, but if you just looking at his profile page there is no indicator of where HH8 is listed.

Just to clarify, do you mean that on Riblit's page, for example, his gc.com based caches should be brown instead of blue?

I suspect he is after something like the green background as used on the state page so he doesn't have to wave his mouse over the link and read the status bar info to find out where it is listed.

ah, gotcha. I'm not sure which of the 2 highlighting methods we're going with, but they should be consistent. Not sure when we'll get to it.

The current method of hi-lightling the GCA listed caches by the green stripe on the State pages works well, If that could be carried over.....

The Green Hi-light is OK for those of us in the know but there is no legend to show newbees what the significance of the highlight is.

it's just a quickie at the moment - we did have another scheme but some people found it hard understand
we are having major hassles with the css to do a good menu structure for the top of the page
hopefully we can sort it out soon
the plan is to untangle all the stuff in the state pages into separate sub-state pages
we want to have gca caches listed on a separate page to give them prominence
