On a related note, I've also seen physical stages of a Multi listed as QtA stages in order to avoid proximity problems with existing caches
Treating QtA stages the same as physical stages would be the only way to prevent such abuse for certain

I'm the type that will use a builder to create the cartridge's objects, then will open the lua script file and edit from there. This puts me in the extreme minority, but that's fine because I enjoy what I do. And isn't that the point--to have fun?
This is EXACTLY what I do, possibly because I'm coming from a programming background.
The builder/text editor combination works for me so I haven't tried any of the other options.
One of my earlier cartridges had nested IF statements and the builder kept putting in an extra 'end' so the builder would throw an error when reloading the file
I wrote a simple Visual Basic app to remove these stray 'end' tags each time I needed to reload the lua file into the builder. I can live with that, a lot of people wouldn't be able to...

Your best bet would be to ask the cache owner for help.

I don't care who it is but starting off by moving posts isn't going to win friends!

A workaround is to store the images on a draft-but-never-published cache listing (we all have one of those, right?).
If you archive an unpublished cache it doesn't clutter up your private profile page either but it can still be used to hold images and post test logs test GM scripts etc

I have, of course, figured a work-around
Creating a PQ from the Ignore List produces an empty PQ but the markers still show on the map as a layer
It would still be nice to have a pukka way of toggling them on and off though

When placing new cache(s)

Most of the time I don't want to see caches which are on our ignore list. However, I would like the option to see them on the map.
Thanks

That's happened to me a number of times now. Mostly with notifications on the phone. It doesn't say PMO on the brief description and you find out when it's opened. So far, no one has questioned me on it (the audit log.)
Eh?
Are you saying that you expect someone to ask you why you looked at their cache? I've never heard of that happening before!
All our caches are PMO and don't care who looks at the cache pages and very rarely look at the audit log because it is of very little use. It shows who has looked at the actual cache page but doesn't show who has viewed the details via a PQ or on a phone etc
I usually take ours off PMO once archived...

I wouldn't call it a BUG, it's working as intended!
Your is being interpreted as bbcode and converted to html
It would be more usual to use curved brackets in that sort of situation
(A+D-C)(B+C-D)(B)° (D-E)(E)(A)

I'm guessing that it's all types of logs are ignored except 'Found It'
Webcam 'Webcam Photo Taken' doesn't show either

We like to know were Tb red clocks are now. The Cache Klettern in Mistelbach is archieved, but what is happening with ou TB Red Clocks.
It is not possible to sent a message to the owner of the cache. Pls. advise. caphook
This forum is for problems or suggestions regarding the geocaching.com website itself rather than individual caches.
Anyway, try contacting chrishummeltal

Don't want to click on one of those by accident - until they get rid of the audit log.
Why?
Why are you so against anyone seeing that you showed an interest in their caches?

I contacted then a couple of weeks ago. I got an email back almost straight away saying to send it back, but they wanted a cheque for £30
Did you make it clear that teh problem was the saggy surround?
We had an Etrex (not H) replaced due to a saggy rubber (free of charge) but the replacement was REALLY inaccurate and is now sitting in the desk somewhere.
It is no use whatsoever for caching!
Mrs D bought me a new Etrex H a couple of years ago but it 'broke' after being dropped from a railway bridge onto the trackbed below
This time garmin wanted £30 to replace it
The replacement was accurate enough but the buttons were nigh-on impossible to press so I sent it back again and received another replacement
I use it all the time when caching and the surround is starting to sag again but I think I will just put up with it for a bit longer...

New pet hate:
Cachers who put hint details in the description
or put guff in the hint which ought to be in the description
Our normal technique is:
Arrive at GZ and have a quick look for cache
if cache isn't immediately obvious
check hint
still no joy
check previous logs for clues
all else fails read the description
We DNFed some at the weekend which have half a hint in the hint and some of the hint in the description. Patience wears a bit thin after a dozen DNFs
So there!

Personally I like to add a few words as well so I can look back on the logs and remember the cache
This is one aspect which I really like and the reason why we try and do individual logs for every cache.
I might see a cache mentioned on a forum or somewhere and if it's one we've found I'll have a look at our log to jog my memory
We also include a find count on every log. I'm usually amazed when looking back at an old find to see that it was a few thousand caches ago!

I can see why NON Premium Members would like to be able to distinguish between PMO and non PMO caches but this 'feature' is currently inconveniencing Premium Members for the benefit of non members
That doesn't seem quite right somehow...

I was thinking that if there was an option to have all icons go away on the map or just certain ones. It would make it easier to find area's that are blanketed with icons.
This functionality already exists but it is Premium Member only
Premium Members can:
Filter by cache type (this is what you want)
Pocket Query integration
Remove cache finds and hides

If an adopted cache were to cause some kind of accident or legal problem, how could the adopter be held accountable if they haven't ticked any boxes?
You have to tick the boxes whenever you edit a cache page
It's not just when you submit a new one for review
Also when you adopt a cache you have to tick boxes saying you take responsibility for it etc
Just in case there's anyone who hasn't spotted the cache which the thread originally referred to it's: Tee Time?

In the early days it wasn't possible to temp disable a cache and caches used to get archived virtually on a whim by reviewers even after just one DNF!
I have a list caches which were archived in this manner and it would be great to find out if they are actually still there or not.
So far I have looked for one...
...and it wasn't!

I know everyone plays the game their own way etc but bogus logging DOES matter.
We have a cache on our watch list which we DNFed some time ago no one has found it since but someone accidentally logged a DNF as a find causing the next person to log:
'Searched high and low, as previous geocacher had said they had found it today!!'

It seems daft that there is no requirement on cache owners to post a note or anything on a Multi or Puzzle if they move the final location
There ought to at least be an Updated Co-Ordinates marker if the final location gets moved
