Its fixed. Go back to the Market and update with version 2.13.2.

...or the auto update should catch it.

The development team is hotfixing the site to address some of the more unpopular aspects of this week's site update. Among other things, the transparent cache page backgrounds are going away, several functions are being added to the beta maps, the tiny text entry boxes for logs and emails and cache descriptions are getting bigger, and more search functionality will be added back to the homepage.

WTF is the difference between the orange circle icons and the regular green container icons on the new maps?

Orange circled icons are premium member only caches. They didn't used to appear on the beta maps at all. The coordinates are fuzzed slightly.

No biggy, around here most coordinates are fuzzed slightly anyway. We're used to it.

Well crappers, had a bunch of mysteries based on hiding stuff in background images and the way they interact with the transparent cache page information.
Oh well, back to hiding stuff in white letters, we guess. ;)

I like being able to see the difference between premium and non-premium caches.

The transparency of the main page to see the background underneath seems oddly distracting.
Hummm, FF 4.0.1 doesn't appear transparent to me.

That's because they reneged on that "feature" two days ago after numerous complaints.

Can tell you something we don't like that has gone missing.
The right-hand corner map locations on the benchmark pages.
Used that to see if any might be by someplace we are going.
Now we have to put the coords into google maps to see exactly were they are.
Hassle.

I hate that background noise. What is the point of that. If you have to have it, gives some clouds or something.
