Latest addition to the Dashboard and Profile makes this project a wrap

Last May we announced that changes were coming to your Profile and Dashboard. However, this release was different. Instead of releasing big changes every few months we wanted to be agile and update features quickly to get them ready for you to play with. We listened to your feedback through surveys and the forums to tweak and adjust pages until they were just right.

Today we’re excited to announce another improvement to your Profile and Dashboard based on your feedback. You can now customize your “/my page” with your own cover image.  To customize your image, visit your Profile Settings and upload a photo in the “Cover Photo” section. The new photo will only appear on the new version of the Profile and Dashboard on web.

Verbesserungen bei der Bearbeitung eines Geocache-Listings

Wir freuen uns bekanntgeben zu können, dass es große Verbesserungen auf der Seite zur Bearbeitung eines Geocache-Listings gibt! Es ist jetzt einfacher, Geocache-Listings zu erstellen. So können die Geocaches auch problemloser als bisher veröffentlicht werden. Cache-Owner, die die alte Seite schon oft benutzt haben, müssen sich wahrscheinlich erst an die neue Gestaltung gewöhnen. Wir sind aber zuversichtlich, dass es – nachdem Du dich mit der neuen Seite angefreundet hast – leichter sein wird, Deine Caches für die Geocaching-Gemeinschaft fertigzustellen.
