Logged in OK .... had a good look around with no problems and logged my nearest unfound GCA cache (The SunburyGun) just to see what my list looked like :shock: .

I did notice that my setting page was not displaying most of my details (including my home coords) however a list of GCA caches sorted by distance obviously knows where I live as it sorted corectly.

Great work guys ..... appreciate the effort you are putting in.

One thing I've noticed in the beta forum is when I post to it my information above my avatar is shown twice. eg.
1600 or more caches found
1600 or more caches found
Taken from this test thread.

Another thing I just noticed when in the new forum was when you click the GCA banner at the top of the page it takes you to the root of the forums, whereas on the current prod system it takes you to the front page of GCA.

This in testing compared with this in prod.

to re-iterate the 1st post in the forum, we don't need reports from the forums as yet, they are low-priority, and most issues are known, and are trival to fix

Thanks for the feedback so far!

Genealogy seems to be doing something strange in the viewing. Replicating fields or something...

http://garmin.geocaching.com.au/cacher/Damo./genealogy/

Error not reproduced here:
http://garmin.geocaching.com.au/cacher/ ... /genealogy

Edit: Fixed it. I had edited it and it had me as parent and 1st child.... Gave me an error message when I put it in but then retained the data in the field.....

I'm in thanks to C@W and Craigrat. Boy is it quick compared to the old site!<p>

Not sure if this has been flagged previously, but on loading profile page no avatar appears. Get "Warning: getimagesize(http://forum.geocaching.com.au/images/avatars/5824.gif) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!

Is it just me or is anyone else having a problem when you click on "My"
you are taken to a log in page and get told you need a "Cacher Name"
Which I already have. There is no option on that page to log in.

Hope that makes sense

Your cacher name was missing.
This is as a result of us playing around a week or so ago.
It has been restored and should not occur for real.
