On the Drafts screen, some HTML is not properly displayed, though it is in the same reference further down.

Oh wait... I see... After you know where you are on the big screen, navigate the world map in the bottom right corner and oom in to where you think the location is and click there for your guess.

Like C3GPS, the game launches and there doesn't seem to be a place to enter your guess, or I'm not clicking on the proper place.

Placed date in the map filter UI == Hidden Date on the cache detail page UI Got it. Maybe the labels will be the same one day.

It shows nothing for me, yet there are multiple caches placed nearby on/after 6/1 such as https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCA9DP0_aire-gratis . I also looking in Project GC which is fed from GC's data and it's not showing any new caches in all of New Jersey. Based on the above, it seems possibly something going on with the data vs just the map front-end on the GC site? - David

You need to first to your Profile page which is accessed via the left bottom nav Profile icon (#1 below). The part this is unfortunately not obvious is then, on that page, tap your icon in the top left of the profile page (#2 below). This should open up a section that shows a link to your code (#3 below):

Or to be even more specific: Between August 17th 2022 and December 31st 2023 revisit a favourite location you have discovered while geocaching, take a photo, and post your newly taken photo with your log to claim this locationless cache.

In another group, this topic came up. We were a bit surprised they didn't enable the cache 3 days later on the 20th so everyone that runs to log it contributes to the "world record" planned for that day.

I don't have the Geocaching HQ Block Party cache. Can HQ create GC9Party for logging yourself with a picture at any party?

No

This is a cache that can be logged by anyone, anywhere in the world, as long as they upload a picture?

This weekend was a GIFF community celebration event - https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC8ZCY7_5th-annual-giff-at-the-movies-a-cc-event . I see no one received any points for logging it in the Reach the Peak event. Are there no points for attending an event? The scoring lists 325 points for a Found it log while Events are Attended logs. Just wondering if there's a glitch in the matrix or this is expected.

The issue isn't your phone but the server(s) that provide the maps for the apps and the web site. You'll frequently see a grey map on the web site on a cache detail page. They need to add some horse power to their map servers.

Username shows after logging out and back in. Odd that it pulled the other info for display without that. Guess that is a new test case for them to add. I think my username did show, before logging out/in, on the top of the main screen but I can’t be 100% sure.

Username field in profile is not displaying my user name. I have a space in my username, if that matters. Just updated to latest iOS release. Not sure if it displayed previously.

It appears that multiple souvenirs obtained on the same day are not in newest order when that sort is selected. Minor compared to no date order but still appears to not be 100% based on when it was achieved. For an example, use the recent Wonders of the World promotion. In order to achieve the Ultimate Explorer souvenir, you must have achieved the Solar System souvenir. That means the order from newest to oldest would be Ultimate Explorer followed by Solar System, Natural Wonder, etc. The order for me when sorted by newest first is not in that expected order - see desktop screenshot below. I see the order is also slightly different in the iPhone app view when multiple souvenirs are achieved on the same day.

Visiting the forum and it looks like references to img.geocaching.com are malformed. I checked across 3 browsers. Eg: https://img.geocaching.comforumsavatar4b8575ba-bdf4-4cde-96ef-03f29ad11112.jpg/

Maybe they started it and it's just running really slow not to place locks on their DB? Not real: insert into tbl_cache_attributes (cache_id, checker_attribute_id) select cache_id from tbl_cache_detail where hq_checker=true; My initial reaction, and possibly posted when announced, was the data should have been updated prior to enabling the front-end to customers. HQ should consider this approach for future updates of this type.

At some point, I thought maybe the checker was going to be enabled for 3rd party apps, but maybe I got my wires crossed. It could be the attribute is a first step and then a new API to call if the attribute is present with the interface surfaced within the 3rd party app? We'll have to wait and see.

The attribute, if nothing else, will alert someone the official checker exists. I thought that was the sole purpose of the new attribute. Wasn't GS going to run a script and apply the new attribute/icon to all existing caches where the checker was in use? Not sure that was done yet or there's a long way for it to go to finish running. Foe the moment, you need to go to the website in a browser to use it.

Are you really good at working your way out of lockers?

In Open Street Maps, the golf course is tagged once and each of the 18 holes are noted. On each hole, the different tee boxes are called out as are the sand traps and each green as a feature in Open Street Maps. It looks like either GC's processing is adding an icon to each element or it's not an option for them to ignore certain elements. Not sure the sand traps, tee boxes and greens need to be called out. it would be plenty for the course and maybe each hole. In Open Street Maps, different editors could tag courses differently, but at least for this one in question, and how GC is handling it, each feature is triggering its own icon.

I'm seeing the empty map tiles again midday on Sunday NY time. Response in developer tools network tab for the failed requests: Tile does not exist

My thought too @thebruce0 . Cache pages descriptions could start to look like this: Click here for the cache page Linked to a web page not hosted by GC. Any javascript, images, etc can be handled on the 3rd party site.
