Relogging finds automatically would be fairly easy now using GSAK and a 'My Finds' PQ
Relogging all DNFs would be trickier because they are only included in the My Finds PQ if the cache was subsequently found.

When caching with my Oregon, which allows you to see the last 5 logs, my beef isn't with TFTC logs.
It's with cut n paste essays. Keep your essay about the series to just one cache. First or Last is the norm.
That way I don't have to trawl through the same blurb to gain any helpful info.
Agree 100% with this!
If you've got nothing to say, don't say anything. Cut & Pasted essays are the WORST type of log. Far worse than a 'TFTC'!
Personally, I wouldn't even log TFTC if the overall experience was negative.

I wonder if this is any sort of record for a UK cache.
No
I expect that there are other caches around that may have had more.
Indeed there are.
95 caches in the UK have over a 1000 finds: project-gc

It's hardly a major bug. It's always been like that

When I plan to go to an area I'll run a PQ for that area but I then run another PQ for the route to the area or for an overlapping circle if you see what I mean.
At the moment I run the first PQ, load it into GSAK, add the whole lot to the ignore list and then run the second PQ (excluding caches in the ignore list) to avoid duplicates
What would be really handy is if I could just exclude the results of the first PQ in the 2nd PQ

When we went to Ireland/Northern Ireland earlier this year we used Open Streetmap on the Oregon but I also created an overlay of the county boundaries for MemoryMap on the Mio so I could be sure to tick off the counties I wanted.
If you've got TomTom, you don't need a map for Europe's First - just park the car and follow the path
The much overlooked Kyle's Cache (second oldest cache in Ireland) is a bit trickier to find without mapping though

Yes, don't log any caches as 'Found'

We went to IOW for a day in September.
Rather than repeat it all here you can read about it here!

It's all right for you rich people that can afford toilet roll holders.... poor people like me just put the roll on the window sill.
And it's all soggy with condensation first thing in the morning...

Found some caches today where the previous finders didn't bother dating the logs at all - just a stamp.
Yeah, yeah everyone plays the game their own way and all that but it would have been nice to know if they were out caching on the same day as us or if they had done the series several days earlier
(no log in PQ as yet)

Allowing DNF'ers on our caches to log a retrospective 'find' if we visit the site and cant find the cache ourselves and have to replace it. If the cache proves to be present when we do a maint trip (after a few DNF's), we would obviously not extend this offer. What do you all think? Pitfalls?
We've always done that on our Puzzles and Wherigos
With Trads it's just bad luck!

I just noticed some of the other D/T ratings on that series. Totally over the top!
4.5/3 for GC3PFVC, a small cache where you just have to stand in a fence and reach into a tree! Crazy!!

GROUNDHOG DAY!!!!
Another Sunday, another D4 that was an instant find.....and for just about everyone else, by the look of the previous logs. Aaaargh!
Gosh! I was FTF on that one and I never realised it was a D4!
To be honest, I rarely look at the D/T ratings anyway because they are pretty much meaningless.
It just emphasizes how silly D/T grid related challenge caches are!

If you're using GSAK, install the elevation.gsk macro and run that on your nearest caches. It will return the height of each cache for you. Then all you have to do is show the elevation field in your view and click on it to show the caches in order of their height. (Mine shows their height in feet rather than metres, but you can probably change this in GSAK's settings, or simply convert your target into feet.)

Erm... That's pretty much what I meant when I said 'filter using GSAK'
Can anyone think of an easier method?

I think you will find that Deceangi never* asks other cacher to retrieve Geolitter
Other reviewers might, but but not Deci
(This is not a comment on the rights or wrongs of leaving geolitter - just a statement of fact!)

*I could be wrong though

I want so see which are the closest caches above 1344 metres
(I OBVIOUSLY should not have posted this in 'United Kingdom and Ireland' forum!
)I've found a few bookmark lists for countries' highest cache but I don't want the highest - just above 1344m
The only way I can think of is by running some PQs for likely locations and then filter using GSAK
Can anyone think of an easier method?
Thanks

Looks OK to me
I just added an image and text to this one link
In the editor, click 'source' and stick your html in there

There are GreaseMonkey scripts to set PQ defaults etc
I'm pretty sure there's one somewhere which saves your settings
I just use this one which I wrote myself link

OK
Please make ignored caches visible when viewing someone's list of owned caches
If you don't want to see them, don't go looking for them!

Why is this topic locked?
http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=253459&pid=4382496&st=0entry4382496
I was planning to bump it, but it is locked without any explanation
If Groundspeak have no plans of ever fixing the ignore list, perhaps they could at least say so!

Clearly you've re-logged with a neutral comment ...
I wouldn't call that a neutral comment!
Saying TFTC is pretty positive.
If I had to relog I would just put our usual # number and nothing else. I certainly wouldn't be saying 'thanks' or any abbreviation of it

Ridiculous
Luckily, keystone isn't a UK reviewer. You can always appeal if a cache gets rejected

[BUG] PQ Preview not showing distances...

PQ Preview not showing distances for PQ from Bookmark List or PQ Along a Route
Still works OK for a normal PQ though
