Lil Devil's Geocaching Pages

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

Install the script.

What This Script Does

• On all pages
  • Change all text input boxes to 95% of window width. They will automatically resize as the window size is changed.
  
  
• On the login page
  • Automatically check the 'Use Cookies' checkbox. This is configurable.
  
  
• On cache pages
  • Add an 'email' link next to the owner profile link.
  • Hide the disclaimer - it still applies, it just makes more room on the page.
  • Move the map from the right-hand column to the coordinates box at the top.
  
  
• On travel bug pages
  • Add an 'email' link next to the owner profile link.
  • Add a blank line after the travel bug name so you can double-click on the name to select it and not select a bunch of other stuff.
  
  
• On the 'log a cache' page
  • Increase the height of the travel bug selection box.
  
  
• On the 'submit/edit a cache' page
  • Automatically check the two disclaimer boxes at the bottom. This is configurable.
  
  
• On the 'email a user' page
  • Un-check the 'send my address' and 'email to self' checkboxes. These are individually configurable.
  • If you came to this page via the 'email cache owner' link on the cache or travel bug page, add the GC# and cache name to the email message.
    

Configuration

To configure any of the options, right-click on the Greasemonkey icon in the status bar of your browser, then select "Manage User Scripts." When the dialog pops up, select "GC Bag-o-Tricks" in the list on the left, then click the "Edit" button below. The script will open in Notepad. Scroll down to the "-----Switches-----" section where you will find several configurable options. Edit them to your liking, then save the file. Back in the browser, refresh the page so it will be updated with the new options.
