This is not strictly filtering but I'm looking for a clever way to clean up part of an aggregated offline list. The list was formed by copying several lists to a single one. I copied Year 2001 hides, webcams, and Cache Across America all focused on West Virginia. Then looking at the map it became clear that the large cluster of caches at the East side of the state were not in range for this driving trip. That left 3 on the west side of the state. What I would love to be able to do is just put those in the Map Bounds and "Delete Visible Caches". Alas, there is no such function. My solution was to manually add those three to another list, then filter on West Virginia and Delete Filtered Caches and finally copy those three back to the aggregated list.
Any other clever way to do this? Maybe highlight those three, filter on West Virginia plus not highlighted and then delete filtered caches. That might have been one step shorter.
This is a subtle way to ask for some actions on the current visible caches in offline. Handy ones would be: Delete Visible, highlight visible, remove highlight of visible.

Also added this to area around log in as it is a perpetual source of confusion.
"Note: To be clear, you never have an account with Cachly. Instead, you have an account with geocaching.com and you permit Cachly to sign in for you and act on your behalf with them. What you can and cannot do in Cachly is determined by your geocaching.com account (Basic vs. Premium membership)."

Cachly is also localized in the following languages:
English, Dutch, French, German, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Swedish
Is this worth mentioning since the Wiki is likely to stay in English until/if you find translators.

Maybe sign in and login can just be interchangeable.
I think users understand either and don't think much about it. I'd say leave what we have alone.

Is Cachly in all the App Stores globally?

I'm traveling without much time online. Definitely should have it called out in the login / getting started sections that you don't have any Cachly account and your userid/password in Cachly is your Geocaching.com account.
Might also consider referencing "login" vs "signin" in the text in a couple places so it matches the text on the button. I didn't want to change those.
Foe the Installing section I was looking for a reliable way to link to the app directly in the app store but couldn't find a way that was ok on a device and off a device regardless of geo-location. Maybe someone knows a way?
Made some very tiny edits before heading out for the day.
Which do we want as far as standardizing nomenclature. Geocaching.com calls it "Sign in with Geocaching" on the screen you get when you click "Login to Geocaching" on the Cachly splash screen. However, if you go to Geocaching.com website, you get "Log In" but once in, the drop down says "Sign Out". I think we are doomed to inconsistency. The best I can see is to make Cachly consistent with the Splash Screen and the Sign In screen that follows.

Something I never understood clearly and I'm sure Nic can explain:
If I register with Facebook and Login via Facebook, how does my username and account get created on geocaching.com. I didn't register that way but I'm guessing geocaching.com gets my email from Facebook and I still have to create a geocaching.com identity. Then login via Facebook would convey my email allowing geocaching.com to find me and log me in. Is that how it works?

Well done. Looks great. Much easier to nivigate
I have sorted out all the orphaned pages wxcept this one - http://www.cach.ly/help/index.php/Navigating_Around_the_App
I think it can be deleted as it has now been superceded by the new Main page - Happy for me to delete (including the image)
I think that can safely go

The Wiki reorganization is done. Feel free to dive in and add more material or fix what needs fixing.
This link will show all existing pages in the wiki. Some are likely orphans and no longer needed.

This is excellent! I can't thank you enough!
One thing I think that should be pointed out. I get a fair amount of users saying "why is my email address already taken when I signup" and they are mad. I am not sure why they are not clearly seeing the geocaching logo on the login or signup screen and realize that they are trying to signup for a service they already have.
I have to tell them that Cachly is a third-party partner of geocaching.com so they just login with that info.
I'll add a note about this. Could also go in the FAQs.

I won't edit your masterpiece but here are some minor comments
- A mention of basic membership limiting you to D1.5T1.5 and lower??
- I would consider taking the limitations of basic membership to another page where it can be done in more detail.
- Should the two login screens not be next to each other?
Separate page added on Basic Membership and linked to. Fixed login screen layout. Thanks

I have written the whole of this section this evening. Look over it and provide feedback (or edit typos, bad grammar, etc.). I tried to cover the experience as it would be seen leading a newbie through the process.

Editorial note: I didn't realize how painful geocaching.com's limit of 3 caches a day could be until I randomly picked one, loaded the full details and discovered it had 5 DNF's in a row. One cache load wasted on one I'm not likely to find. Sigh!

I put together a simple "Table of Contents" for a modified possible structure for the document. It reflects the top few heading levels. Most of the pages currently stay the same but some material is moved around. Is this better, worse, .... Suggestions and feedback.

I suggest each How To be a seperate page: the combined one is going to get unwieldy, plus easier to link from e.g. main page.
I see a landing page with a one liner for each How To linking to either a separate page each or a section in a single page. The landing page would be linked off the main page.

From a practical point if view it might be better to save you logs while out caching and when you get home go to the list in Pending Logs and look at each log again before submitting.
I find that useful as I find I want to edit the message on a few caches, add some pictures and let my TBS visit a cache or two once I get home and have more time to consider the logs
That's the approach I used on Saturday for a 30 cache day.
-
I was hoping the first not yet written section would handle the new user and getting them to find the first cache. That becomes a tutorial section. For example, nothing about Offline lists is germane to a brand new user. All settings would be defaulted so likely can skip over that. Logs can't be ignored but can be handled as part of the tutorial material.
That frees the rest of the document to be more of a reference and tips document.

If I create a new user to see the experience and document it, what happens to my current DB during and after I switch back to my premium account.
