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 98% of the window width. 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.
  
  
• 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 "email cache owner" link on the cache or travel bug page, an appropriate subject line will be added to the message.
    

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.
