Merged.

Dr. Barnabus Peddingferd replied on November 09, 2009 20:01 to the problem "Unable to merge duplicate with Featured stamp" in Gowalla:

That's interesting... As there is no description and there are over 180 check-ins at the Featured location, I changed up the name and add a description to remind others to check in at the featured spot.

Also noticed you can't Edit the featured SFO spot.

But at least you said it in a cute, internet way.

We'll welcome you back with open arms when such a feature comes around.

Updated.

Additionally, this Feature is still a bit new and Gowalla is aware that those with private accounts force the authorization request. – Dr. Barnabus Peddingferd, on November 06, 2009 01:21

Bravo!

I have been all over Twitter today trying to find appropriate Twits corresponding to their spots. Obviously, some spots wouldn't need, nor have, a Twitter account, but there are several places that would benefit greatly from having their accounts added to their Gowalla pages.

Dr. Barnabus Peddingferd replied on November 05, 2009 23:15 to the question "Spots merged?" in Gowalla:

Ben – been trying to get ahold of you for some time regarding this.

As it turns out, I merged the two spots into The Texas Union spot. They were both within a few meters of the original (which was set to, what I considered, an ample radius) with the one you created literally overlapping the original.

I updated the description to the original spot to include the fact that there is bowling, billiards, etc in the same building, known as The Union Underground. I merged the first with no hesitation as it was categorized as the Student Center as the original. Yours was the debated merge as you categorized it under Bowling. I couldn't get in touch with you, so I discussed it with two UT Alums and they agreed that a single spot be used to represent all facets the building has to offer (again, another reason I enhanced the description).

If you feel that isn't enough and really would like a spot specifically for The Union Underground, I apologize for merging the two and whole-heartedly think you should create the spot anew.

I didn't mean to step on any toes.

Happy Gowall'ing!
Dr. Peddingferd

No Method Error :: Edit

Have run into this on a couple of spot pages recently in which clicking on the Edit button results in a No Method Error page.

The Grand (Spot 24632)

Had the problem when merging spots, but this spot doesn't fall in that situation; was trying to update the URL for the page.

A comment on the idea "Nominate the Elite" in Gowalla:

Caressively checking in? I've never really stroked my iPhone in an affectionate manner when checking in. I get excited, sure, but not so much to physically caress the device.

Regardless, the items are ancillary to me and as such have always checked into spots with thought. There are copious amounts of catalogued lcoations in Austin alone and I believe I have only a third of them, if that.

Currently, I am all about the stamps. I am looking for unique stamps to populate my passport so that is leaving me for not checking into some spots. There's a Lowe's down the street that I am very eager to add a check-in to. – Dr. Barnabus Peddingferd, on November 05, 2009 21:08

A comment on the question "Can I unvault an item?" in Gowalla:

I would also like to unvault a duplicate item that I wasn't aware was already in my vault.

Having a swap option would be very neat! I endorse that idea, Megan.

Elsewhere: Ben, is there a method by which I can contact you regarding a recent spot present on the UT Campus? – Dr. Barnabus Peddingferd, on November 05, 2009 20:43

Dr. Barnabus Peddingferd replied on November 05, 2009 16:55 to the problem "No Items Found Here" in Gowalla:

They weren't recently merged, were they? Not that should have removed the items nor be causing any problems particularly with the Item system — just curious as to the history of these specific spots.
