I followed your instructions and did get to a page with an option to change the clue status and WA LA! It worked. Thanks for taking the time to help me. dogpatch

I'm all set. I don't have much experience added boxes. I messed up and didn't know how to fix it. mudflinginfools made a suggestion and it fixed my issue. Thanks. Now onto the finish line. dogpatch

I'm looking for anyone who would be interested in boxing together on Friday. I have to be in Rockford IL on Sunday, my cousin is hosting a family gathering honoring his mom on her birthday. Several of my relatives are in their 90s, and everyone of these could be their last. So I am hitting the road early Sunday morning, but since boxes are temporary, I'd like to do some boxing Friday. Anyone interested in joining me?

I just found a really old box listed only on LBNA. (happy dance!) so I’m curious about something.

When you get a chance to link the two sites will we be able to log an LBNA only box as a listed find on AQ and not just as unlisted?

I have no idea if that’s even possible or maybe too much of a pain to do……but I am just curious.

EDIT: I know unlisted finds count as finds. I'm just wondering if there would be a point where they could all be together as listed rather than being separated into two different categories.

I just tried going through the Browse Map, Canada/Greenland/Iceland, Greenland/Iceland and I still get 404 error, even after hitting CTRL F5.

Thank you!

Sorry this might not be a bug report but it seems close? I fostered box #22350 which displays "no clue provided" so anyone doing a search which hides boxes with no clues will never see it. But, the box does have a clue on LBNA #19214, it's just not linked. I did add a note to the addendum, but this does not resolve the fact that the box is listed with no clue. How do I fix this?

I cannot see a map button at the bottom of the page after I click on selected clues. I see a "Print Clues "button but nothing to print a map. Can someone help? I want to check the boxes I plan to visit and then print a map for the.

Thank you.

After I select the letterboxes I want to visit, I'd like to print a map of them. I can't remember how to do it. Can someone help?

thanks

I still print clues the same way as always. As far as I can see that has not changed. I click on print and it just prints. If you're having an issue I don't think it has anything to do with AQ.

Maps had to be limited to a paying member feature because Google is an expensive maps host. This is my vague understanding, if you search the boards you will probably find the more technical official explanation from Green Tortuga.

and it gets dogeared or ink can bleed through it. the plastic, just wipe clean and all is good.

Do you mean on LbNA? There's not an option for that. Sorry. =(

Try hitting the Ctrl-F5 on the Canada map, not the page where you got the 404 error. The link did point to a non-existant page, but there weren't weren't any regions specified in the database so I just changed the link to point directly to the search results. That's the page that changed--not the 404 page which is still a 404. =)

-- Ryan

I finally got it to work by clicking on Iceland on the map itself after getting to map of Canada/Iceland. If I click on the words Greenland/Iceland below the map it still gives the 404 error.
Thanks for the quick fix, but looks like there is still work to be done in the whole search area. Another reason for more people to donate to the cause.

Ah, I didn't realize the link was on the page two times. Sorry about that. Should be fixed now! =)

-- Ryan

You can't--that's a problem the owner made and, theoretically, can fix. But since they aren't active, I've gone ahead and done it myself.

No, if there's not a corresponding box on AQ, it would have to be an unlisted box on AQ. I have to admit, I never even considered that as an option! I was thinking if a box was on one site but not the other, it just wouldn't list a find at all. But you're right, theoretically, LbNA could list the find as a find on an unlisted box. (At least for premium members, since finds on unlisted boxes are a premium member perk.)


Not likely. Early in AQ history, they used to be listed in one giant list, but it caused a few problems. The queries that pulled the data from the database started running unacceptably slow as people started recording large number of finds which was the main reason that I finally had to split it into two separate lists. Even now, with the lists separated, those with 5,000+ finds are a bit hard on a database, often taking more than one full second to run.

I try to keep things running so a page could load in less than one second. Most pages run in a fraction of a second--1/10th of a second, for instance, but those with huge number of finds... the logbook pages often take over a full second to generate.

If you mean you've done a search and selected SOME (not all) of the boxes in the search - then use the MAP button at the BOTTOM of the page. The button at the TOP of the page maps ALL of the search results (well, first 100). However note that mapping is now a premium member perk.

I have always found it so much easier just doing screenshots of all boxes & clues I’m going for. Once LB is found & recorded I delete screenshots, usually when I get home. It also helps when I lose my AQ service out in dead zones, my screenshots/photo’s still work great. Tried the iPhone to printer a couple of times, finally gave up, just makes my head hurt lol.

Thanks. That all makes sense. Oh well!

this is an old thread for me. everything works just great now. I love mapping them out and navigating them as we go out on our road trips

I suspect a horse trail box would require special gear to deal with the road apples (sturdy wellies or hip waders, I suppose). Can't expect the equestrians to clean up after themselves or put on the old horse diapers. ;-)

BONK!

I just planted two in Hólavallagarður Cemetery in Reykjavik! You can walk to this location from the main downtown touristy area! I hope you have a chance to get them. The cemetery is really worth a visit - very old and atmospheric. Hope you have a great trip!

Actually, that is rarely a problem. Even the Bright Angel Trail in the Grand Canyon is usually "clean" enough for anyone wearing sneakers or trail runners. I won't recommend flip-flops, however. For those not in the know, the Bright Angel Trail is the path from the south rim down to the river used by dozens of mules each day toting tourists in exchange for a large amount of money.

A group of letterboxers, as recently defined.

What is your time frame? I plan to box there Friday before the event
