    Re: Waymarking Release Notes 10/29/2009

    in post 23536 and seconded in 23658
    - I asked for 'uncategorized waymark' variables so that others might know why it is where it is --perhaps a dropdown and a text box for explanation.
    -----------------------
    in 26337
    -has this issue, of the edits 'looking' like original text been investigated?
    ----------------------
    in 26375
    --what about reworking this paragraph about pics? it seems to give a false impression about pic requirements.
    ------------------------
    in 23678
    --what about the excessive clicking needed to search from coords?
    -------------------------
    in 23680
    --i have not seen the error mentioned, however, in submitting several marks, the 'rounding' has made one of the sets of coords invalid. i must reenter them. --along these lines, when i get a 'error' message (your coords are not valid), can the 'red' text appear at the TOP, not between 'instructons' and 'waymark form'? thus, when i get returned to the page on an error, the first thing i see is the error note.
    -------------------------------

    --the order of the waymark que.....is it to remain new/resubmition/edits--then within those by time stamp? the importance should be: category/new/resub/edits (and those 3 by time within the 'category')
    -----------------------------

    adding variable answers in a log.....
    must this be the default? it appears that someone logging the mark could fill it in, and it might look like the poster entered it

    (in the case of Taco Bell: 'what your ordered' is a variable. if i, as a logger, fill out the field, it looks like the poster ordered what i ate....)
    i never understood the inclusion of a 'rating' for a waymark as a variable. I leave this blank. but what if someone, as part of their log fills this out? [note: in these cases the logger will have 2 'rating variables'--one for their log, and another as the waymark variable.....
    and if someone does enter something to complete an unanswered variable as part of a log, shouldnt their name appear on that variable as an 'assist'....
    -------------------------------------------
    in 26426 and in 26514
    --and i just tried to see if it was fixed....i cannot sort out my finds in a nearest waymark result....
    ----------------------------------
    in 26431:
    if someone fills out a variable as part of the log, cant that be included in the log notification, and then associated with that log on the waymark?
    ---------------------------------------
    in 26515 and in 26546
    the conflict between visits/comments and the ability to upload a pic.

    the bug of being able to log a second visit to a waymark--ie: the disconnect in the splitting of the 2 actions.

    i dont really get why this was needed. so that they can be tabluated differently? so that comments (better known as 'revisits') no longer factor into the total visits to a waymark? this 'splitting of log types' seems to work fine on that other site wether i found, noted, flagged, or updated it (if they have many log type choices, why do we have issues with only 2 types?)
    -----------------------------------
    in 26520:
    the assisted waymark. seems stuck in the nexus. does not appear in 'UCMs', is in 'my UCMs', is not in 'my assists'

    but isnt this missing something? i can see the UCM listing. I can see the ones i posted. I can see 'my assists' (UCMs i pisted that have been assisted by others) but what about 'Waymarks I Assisted'?
    ----------------------------
    in 26529:
    about http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM7JPX

    i posted it. it got denied. i moved it to UCMs. Sf wife uploaded the needed pics, and sent it back to the category for review.

    it still says she posted it and i assisted. it is not in 'my waymarks'. is it in hers? did it add to her posted stats?
    ----------------------------------
    in 26548
    (though i know nothing about this)
    the order in which 'countries' are displayed in the create a waymark dropdown

    ------------------------------------

    um. i thought of a few more points to make while compiling this list, but they have since left me....
