Hi,

The site was down for a short time this evening for an update. I tried to make it short to minimize any inconvenience.

Here's a list of the more notable changes:
  • Updated style sheet to correct link text color and to center text in tables. Also made other style changes, such as moving down the top text on a page.
  • For cache lists, added links to region, county.
  • Updates to the Region page include
    • Added recent notable finds, and a link to view more recent notable finds.
    • If your caching name is displayed in any of the tables, it will be highlighted.
    • Added links to FDF leaderboard.
    • Added tool tips for all links.
  • Updates to the GeocachePage include:
    • Added links to the region and county
    • Button to navigate to Geocaching.com cache page changed to a standard hyperlink.
    • Added link to a list of nearby caches, along with another link to filter out owned and found caches. These lists will only show premium member only caches if you are logged in and a Premium (or Charter) member.
    • Added a link to view other caches owned by the owner of the current cache.
    • If number of finds differs than when statistics were last generated, a note is added stating what the expected find count and point total will be the next time statistics are updated.
    • If a cache is temporarily disabled, then the cache name will be struckout.
    • Added tool tips for all links.
  • Changed the button on the Geocacher Page for navigating to the Geoaching.com profile page to a standard hyperlink.
  • Added ability to download LonelyCache data from the website. This will be utilized to import LonelyCache data into GSAK. A GSAK macro is forthcoming.
I think that about covers it. :ugeek:

Enjoy!

I am really impressed with all the progress since the site went live but now I am starting to feel guilty about all the time this progress has involved on your part. About all I can do is give everyone involved a big atta boy. The site has already exceded my expectations. Great job.
