the forum automatically logs you off after 5 minutes or so. the rest of the geocaching site keeps it alive forever. we guess we should put a 5 minute cap on that one, too!Rabbitto wrote:If I simply close IE and do not return the forum to log out does it leave my session hanging? If it does can there be a log out option once in there.
aha, they used to, but in implementing the historical statistics that the ginger loon was wanting, we accidently broke it. the code used to search for everything that was dated after the first of the current month. to allow historical listings, we changed it to search for things in that month. we'll have a look at fixing this.Snuva wrote:Is it possible, when displaying the new caches for a state, to make event caches a special case somehow - maybe so they display from the time they are listed until they occur? If this isn't possible that's fine - but because the 'listing date' is actually the date of the event, without being treated differently they won't appear under new caches in the state summary until after they have occured
today we've added the ability to edit your home coordinates and state
the coordinates are used to determine your hitlist (nearby caches that you haven't found) and you can also see a map of where cachers are by looking at their cacher page.
states currently aren't connected to anything but we plan to connect them up to
- the leaderboards, so they display the home state of the cacher, not the state of their last find
- daily cache update emails, which is a bit more user-friendly than asking people to join a state usergroup to get these
just for fun, we attempted to populate these fields for as many people as we could. we set the state to the state in which most of your caches were hidden, and the home coords to the average of all your caches hidden. this is quite amusing for, say, the 2 dogs who have some in sydney and darwin. team chaos is living in the wollondilly river. we dare not look at bear_left's home coords!
let us know how it goes
