State Pages are still too busy.... [closed]

Gentlemen/women(Still haven't figured out MS's place in the scheme of things

) of GCA I stand before, here today, to beg you to consider my appeal........

Guys, the state pages are still too busy, I know you want to be able to show ALL caches for the history benefit, but I find it too distracting all the red and strikethroughs for the archived caches. And we have had the odd case of the new geocacher being confused by it all, even with the key at the bottom of the page.

There must be a better way.....

I suggest that the default for the list page of GCA caches be active/temporarily inactive caches only, with a selection on the RHS for "show ALL caches" regardless of their status.

Any drawbacks with this idea?

sounds good
we are currently using all our geo-time moving stuff to the server in the usa so it will be a little while before we get it implemented

Another thought has struck me... and didn't it hurt.....

The hitlist has one major drawback, you cannot differentiate where the caches are listed. Yes Yes I can hear the complaints now, but we do have three different groups using this site now, Those who won't do GCA listed caches, those who won't do gc.com listed caches, and those who don't care where a cache is listed.

So how about an option for choosing the makeup of the hitlist?
ie GCA caches only
gc.com caches only
Both sites

opinions please

If you have to have that, and I actually think its probably overkill but thats just my opinion, then one list with a couple of available filters ie. show all, show GC, show GCA would likely be more efficient screen real estate wise.

Filters, that was the term I was looking for, Thanks Cached.

Yes, can the list be made to be filtered as required?

Filters on the hitlist, great idea, especially if i could filter on a state by state basis

??

it's bad when Victorian caches are closer to home than Tasmanian ones. (damn Bass Strait)
