Site suggestions... [closed]

Post by leek » 19 January 05 8:52 pm

Hi George,
Just a few suggestions - do with them what you will...

All and State tabs:
Maybe limit the list of new caches to 10 and list it in the same format as the other categories (e.g. Popular caches) with an option to list all...

On the full listing(s) is it possible to include more info - like last found date... cache size... Also - if possible, allow sorting on the various columns... etc.

On the My tab, can we sort archived (not disabled) caches to the bottom... include date hidden and last found and if possible, allow sorting on all columns...

That should keep you busy for an hour or so :-)

thanks
the sorting one is interesting - we'll see if we can figure out some kind of sorting widget that could be used across the site

Having not spotted it elsewhere, I figure this suggestions thread would be an ideal place.

With discussion of placing Locationless, Moveable, and other types of caches in addition to the regulars, I'm very tempted to place a few when the nuts and bolts are worked out.

However, to be able to spot what types of cache have been placed at a glance, I notice that the GCA listings don't currently show the cache type next to them - either by an icon, or an abbreviation to speed the download up.

Obviously this then leads to the ability to search and filter the GCA listings to find only the particular types of cache I want to look at (which I do now in GSAK, but it would be handy online too).


Next up, is there plans for automated GPX periodical delivery? Having gotten used to the secondary premium filters, I don't keep up to date with the GCA ones as frequently.

Also, I today found http://geocaching.com.au/gpxbeta/all.gpx gave a Page Not Found.

This is on the 'to do' list after the site relocation to the US servers is completed as this will give the extra bandwidth needed.<br />
Currently the gpx files are available for download as separate state files.
