Agreed, we've already got this one on the "Links" page under the title "Multi-Agency Geographic Information for the Countryside". However, the reason I included it was for location definitions of World Heritage, SSSIs etc when hiding planting a cache.

You mentioned you use it for planning cache hunts, I'm interested which functions you use and how? The capability is amazing, I'm sure I'm only using a fraction of it.

I used to magnify the area of the cache and screen grab the map for my ipaq, but now I have fugawiUK for this. I put the link for newbies like us rather than old timers like you :D due to the fact you all know these places :D
It is handy for the overlays and filters you can use, especially the user defined ones.

Would it be possible for the links page to open <external site links> to a new window, as otherwise GAGB could be losts in the links of time. :rolleyes:

When they&#39;ve finished with that window, GAGB will still be visible.

Just my £0.02p

No problem. I&#39;m updating the links page tonight and this approach makes sense to me (for external links only).

Thanks, Rich.

I know *I&#39;d* do it that way. :D :lol: B)

Rich,

One more thing. ;) (As well as not being able to look at profiles, and stuff like that...)

The GAGB Calendar (https://www.gagb.org.uk/forums/index.php?act=calendar) ....

How does one get to post new events? Is this a &#39;post direct to Admin&#39; type of thing?

Yes, I&#39;m sorry to say that adding events to the calendar has been restricted to moderators only.

The reason for that is to prevent abuse as happened to the G:UK calendar soon after it was launched.

If you or anybody else has an event they want added, just email the details to admin@gagb.org.uk

As far as we are aware, the calendar is currently up to date with events.

Thanks for the info.

Some people will trash anything, so I can understand your concerns. <_<

Was the GCUK calendar abused - surely not, how despicable. :huh:

I bet whoever did it had had one too many lagers. :)
