Snowflake Theme is one of my absolute favorites!
Started the day with a smile.

I searched for the theme after logging in and couldn't find a snowflake theme. Does anyone know what its official name is?

It's the "winter solstice" theme. You could just remove the theme you set in your preferences to see the defaults that everyone else sees too. (You can always add it back later!)

thanks!

I like the artistic snowflakes...but... anybody want the millions of them piling up on my vehicle, parking lot, sidewalk and roads this morning?

I think it would be AWESOME to watch millions of snowflakes pile up on YOUR vehicle, parking lot, sidewalk, and roads this morning!

It would be pretty neat to see that here in Texas as well, but probably a lot less likely.

Anyone know what happened to Box Radar? It seems the app just disappeared.

Just found the group. Yep, it is really gone. Thank you Aphid for creating it in the first place. Sorry to see it gone. :(

I use clue tracker. You should try that!

That depends on the device . . . I believe Boxradar was created for androids, while ClueTracker is an iPhone app.

When you say it disappeared, do you mean that it disappeared off the Google Play store, or off your device? I checked my phone after you posted this and see that Boxradar is still on my phone, and appears to still work (at least as much as it has worked lately).

I have an Android, Clue Tracker is not available for Androids !!! :(

I have a Samsung and Box Radar worked somewhat, OK enough that I kept it but when I brought a new phone it did not transfer along with my other apps to the new phone. :(

Went to my Play Store to download it again and it wasn't there anymore.

The Here button on AQ is a little helpful but nothing like Box Radar was.

I really really miss not having it. :(

Mine was at least coming on still in November but now it immediately stops. Very sad as I only have a droid so can't switch to clue tracker:(

Attention Android Users!

Please contact me about possibly testing a Box Radar replacement.

If you have used Box Radar a significant amount and are interested in testing a new Android-based Letterboxing app and will be able to do a significant amount of testing, please contact me. The authors are looking for about 5 people to do the testing.

I can tell you that it is an AWESOME app!!

I'd LOVE to use a new Box Radar app! My daughter's baby is due this week so I am sticking close to home, so I can't volunteer to test it-but I sure would like an update on it, and info on how to get it if it checks out!

what do you consider to be "a significant amount of testing"? what does that look like? Actually using it while on the hunt, or just checking for nearby boxes and comparing that to what shows up on an AQ search?
I'd like to help, but probably won't be out looking for too many boxes in the next couple months.

I'm in. I would be happy to test. I used Box Radar all the time. ONe of my favorite features was that it showed boxes from both websites on one combined map/list view.

Have you ever folded your signatures, set them aside for tomorrow then couldn't find them?

Fortunately, I just started looking around for something else and found them. I'll be putting together my logbook tonight.

I stitched together the signatures, glued the cardboard inside the cover paper, and glued the signatures inside of the cover. It is now drying under a book with a board on top and then weighed down. It should be ready in the morning for planting.

This is a replant. I'm waiting until the early afternoon so that it will be warm when I go traipsing through the snow to plant this letterbox. When I get back I'll have to remember to post how deep the snow was. The box will go about 400 feet from the parking lot along a trail. The forecast shows that it will be below freezing, but there is no snow in the forecast.

folded your signatures

Maybe I got up too early and my brain isn’t warmed up yet as I haven’t had any coffee, but I don’t know what you’re talking about 😂 Please elaborate as I’ve never done this before.

I'm sooo interested in helping. I'm from Ma. - east coast - if you are looking for different areas of the country.

I am so excited to hear this! Please keep us posted on the progress. It would be awesome to have an app that works on my non-Apple phone!!

Signatures, as in the folded groups of pages in a homemade logbook.

I am very interested! Can you be more specific about testing requirements?

Thanks for the willingness of whoever is putting the app together. Loved Box Radar & look forward to having something back that is similar!

Yes, worked last week, but the website is also gone. Yours will also quite working.

I would be very happy to try and help as much as I can.

Here is an example of making your own book.

I just call them logbooks 😂 never used the term signatures. Lookie that. You can teach an old dog new tricks.

From Merriam Webster definition 3b:

one unit of a book comprising a group of printed sheets that are folded and stitched together

A book, including a log book, is made up of multiple signatures. However, our usage of log book is wider. I've seen some log books made up of interesting folds and cuts of paper.
