Re: *** New Site Testing - We need your help ***

I tried clicking on the coords listed on my movable cache (GA0925) page to bring up a google map of the area the cache was in, and I received This: Unknown/unlisted cache Sorry, this cache is unknown or unlisted. To search for a cache, use the search box in the top right hand corner. Seems like the ...

Re: Cache sounds

when a destructive thunderstorm goes thru a forest, those so-called lightning flashes are not lightning at all, but the result of trees falling. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it :D Wind is caused by trees moving their branches and hence in turn, moving their leaves. Storms are caused by real...

Re: GCA Server Stats for Augusut

Square poo of the wombat question hits the server more than others because of this: GCPRTT Why is Wombat Poo Square? by aloysius7 Surprisingly, it has only been found 9 times in 4 years!

Re: CD's as cache fills

How about the last 51 episodes of the podcast Geotalk?
And the video editions as well? That should fill up the rest of the CD for you, I think?

Re: New Program - GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife)

Recently I did the only active webcam cache in Tassie. The cache is a GA cache. Once completed, I manually marked it found in GSAK. Then at a later date, I downloaded the cache gpx to update GSAK properly. GSAK then changed the status from found back to unfound based on what it found in the gpx. Unl...

Re: *** New Site Testing - We need your help ***

:idea: A suggestion - can we have a link to the relevant entry on the geowiki in a corner of each page (not in the forums tho)? Case in point: the Mates page. I've been asked by a newbie, where I was hiding to see him caching - he found the Mates page and saw my name under "seen once or twice" . I t...

distances broken down into segments on (say) a power of 10 scale starting at 1km. This would then cater for those who have found caches on the other side of the world without having a huge scale at the x axis. How about a slighty logarithmic X scale starting at 0 then 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,...

Does this qualify for Nude Up?

I was perusing the other site and the little advert on the side caught my eye. It links to here.

As the projection room is fairly noisy, I could not make out all the sound but the vision was fine.

So - does this qualify for Nude Up For A Smiley?
