Geocacher Clock
I'm loving the clock! I've put my time together and uploaded it, and was chuffed to see it wander through at 11:11 this morning.
I'm a bit concerned that the locationless seems to encourage people to take photo's of clocks showing the time - and that they really aren't clear! Can we have some sort of peer review on it?
I think this is the line causing the confusion - "Take a photograph of you along with a time piece clearly showing the time." Afterwards it gets clearer, but it seems to suggest taking a pic of a clock - and at least one of them isn't on the time advertised!
Keep up the good work - love the innovation (no matter where it's stolen from!)
Seems I've got the bug again,

Yep, much better. Takes the "real clock" impression out of it.
Thanks

Re: Geocacher Clock
Now that I have looked at them all, I think we (or someone) should be able to remove the ones that make no sense (that is, no time displayed).
I loved steptoe's efforts. Now I just need to plan my image ...

Re: Geocacher Clock
Well, damn, I was really hoping people wouldn't do that.
I'll remove the non-clocky ones tonight and see what we can do about monitoring the images.

Re: Geocacher Clock
Peter,
I tried to improve my pic for 13:18 but accidentally uploaded one to 1:18.
Even though I deleted it, I think 1:18 has been taken off the "available list".
Could you fix please?
Thanks.

1:18 is still showing as belonging to you.
Can you try to delete it again.
There may be a bug in the deleter.

Re: Geocacher Clock
I deleted the one there, and then added it back for 13:18 and all good now.
Between us we fixed it (Might have just been me recovering from my earlier error shhh)

C@W - Maybe it needs to be a little more dummy proof - something along the lines of
DON'T JUST TAKE A PICTURE OF THE TIME ON A CLOCK OR YOUR GPS.
That might do it.

Re: Geocacher Clock
OK, to keep the serenity at a sufficient level, I deleted the outstanding portrait of myself with GPS showing the time
and attempted to upload a new picture, but the original photo keeps reappearing, so it looks like the thing does have bugs.

Re: Geocacher Clock
My apologies, I had to reboot for something else, and I tried this again and it worked.
Must have been a browser cache related problem or just a browser bug, as the files had different names,
Anyway, all sweet now thanks.
