Lil Devil's Geocaching Pages

This script makes several small but useful improvements to the Geocaching.com website.

Install or update the script

What This Script Does

• On all pages
  • Change all text input boxes to take up the full width of the window. They will automatically resize as the window size is changed.
  
  
• On cache pages
  • Add an "email" link next to the owner profile link. When clicking this link, an appropriate subject line will be added to the message.
  • Optionally hide the disclaimer - it still applies, it just makes more room on the page.
  • Optionally move the map from the right-hand column to the coordinates box at the top. This utilizes screen space better on large displays.
  • Make a few minor adjustments to reduce excessive white space.
  
  
• On travel bug pages
  • Add an "email" link next to the owner profile link. When clicking this link, an appropriate subject line will be added to the message.
  
  
• On the front page and the login page
  • Remember the preferred state of the "Use Cookies" checkbox.
  
  
• On the "submit/edit a cache" page
  • Remember the preferred state of the two disclaimer boxes at the bottom.
  
  
• On the "email a user" page
  • Remember the preferred state of the 3 checkboxes below the message.
  • If you came to this page via the newly added "email" link on the cache or travel bug page, an appropriate subject line will be added to the message.
    
• On the list of caches hidden or found by a user
  • Add a link to the user's profile page.

Configuration

To configure the options on the cache page, right-click on the Greasemonkey icon in the status bar of your browser, select "User Script Commands..." then either of the two options.

To remember a default state for any of the checkboxes controlled by this script, simply check the "Save as default" checkbox below the checkbox in question.
