Many challenge caches ask for a list of qualifying caches. Is there a way to format this list into columns?
Multiple spaces get compressed into one. I can't see how to insert tabs, and I'm not sure that would work anyway. There doesn't seem to be a markup language tag for this.
Just enter *four blanks* at the beginning of each line to force a monospaced font:

Five months later! I almost forgot that the problem still exists... and uploaded my geocache_visits.txt without prior modification... 😒
Features and functions for offline caching seem to be pushed further and further back in the prioritization.

I very rarely get the photo Captcha when checking co-ords so not a big problem for me.
I'm wondering why I don't get challenged when other do, is it likely to be due to which cookies we're accepting from GC?
The Captchas only appear (to me) when I solve a whole series of puzzles.
It obviously shows up when I check more than 10 (?) different caches in a row and *not only* when I check a single cache more than 10 (?) times.
In order to avoid a brute force attack, it would actually be enough to check the latter. -

Anyway, I noticed one interesting tidbit on geocaching.com: I run the site in English, and all country names describing the cache location are therefore in English ("Germany", "Greece", etc.) - with one exception: It's "Türkiye" and not "Turkey". No big deal of course, but does anyone know why Turkey is "special" in that regard?
The official english name of "Turkey" changed to "Türkiye" about a year ago (not only in Geocaching)

Me too. I have completed all types of caches as required. But even the first souvenir was not given. Can't see it on my App or my profile login with my laptop.
The CITO probably didn't count as an 'event'...? (but you received a CITO souvenir)

Irgendwelche Greasemonkey oder Tampermonkey Scripts?

Do you prefer to find TB with specific goals or the ones that just want to get miles or travel from cache to cache?
We definitely prefer TBs with specific goals since that was the 'original idea' of releasing TBs. In the early days, we even travelled 'bonus miles' to move the TB a bit more to the final destination. BUT I don't like to check online for a specific goal while logging the cache. Almost none of todays TB have their goal 'physically attached' and sometimes, we're just travelling the opposite way.
-
Does it seem to you that TBs with a general goal of simply getting as many miles as possible tend to travel further and last longer than TBs with more specific goals (e.g., visit each of the state capitals)?
That's probably the case. Not everybody is heading 'east' as requested...
-
Do you ever specifically search for Geocaches with TBs in them?
No.
-
Does a cache with TBs in its inventory make a cache more attractive to you?
No.
-
Have you ever kidnapped a TB? (...held on to a TB much longer than you intended)
In a world of micros, it might take longer than expected to find an appropriate cache.

Click the 'Found on' header (probably twice) to sort from oldest to newest.

Hmmm... works for me in Chrome on WIN 11
Scrolled down to the beginning and printed 17 pages including 50+ logs.

Have this issue every now an then.
"Just create a new waypoint" is a good workaround, but not a solution.Looks like a bug in the app...

As an example, here's one of several of my caches where the background disappeared. There doesn't seem to be anything in common with the vanishings. Some caches were active, most were previously archived, some old, some new, and a bunch from each category were unaffected.
The link http://img.geocaching.com/user/21ca6899-ba86-4ba8-a4a1-68bcc8cfbd95.jpg to the background image s still part of the HTML code... but the image itself is gone (Error 404).
I can't remember that I've ever seen an URL having img.geocaching.com/user/something... they usually contain img.geocaching.com/cache/something...Maybe they have removed some conversion/forwarding of old style URLs...

Now I have a question... how can I remove the "Needs Owner's Attention" filter on my Cache Owner Dashboard? In my case, I once disabled the cache; fixed the issue and now re-enabled the cache on business again. The filter is still there. Should I delete the NM log?
Deleting the NM log won't help.
Just write an additional "owner maintenance" log.

I'm still hoping that a 'solved coordinates indicator' and the personal notes will find their way into the GPX.
So many possibilites... (without the need of calling the LIVE API)
Maybe... some day... 🤪-

But the most cachers I know, use this feature for cheating: not other player is able to view their logged caches but they like to boast about how many caches they've found.
There are two easy ways to go around this:
Official way- Go to the search form -> 'Filters'
- Remove your own name from 'Not found by'
- Enter the player's name in 'Found by'
- Enter the period in 'Find Date' (Between)
Inofficial way
-
Replace XXX by the player's name in the following URL:

So I have a gpsmap 66sr . Its geocaching reg fails .

Did you connect the device to the 'Garmin Connect' or 'Garmin Explore' App on your phone (Bluetooth connection)? The device should appear there
Or are you using a WI-FI Connection? Some functions a only available over WLAN: https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/gpsmap66s_st/EN-US/GUID-15981039-B0EE-4C20-9C86-EE673B564F86.html -
You should then be able to login to your geocaching account from you device -> the device appears on your gc profile:

Why don't you just keep going like this? Garmin pretty much screwed up in Geocaching. I use my Garmin Montana 600 for emergencies only, when far away from civilization.

This is one of several cache type related changes and is intentional. Some Event types also got updated to newer more accurate names.
Overall, the names now more closely align with what you see on your Profile, Statistics, etc.
Wherigo type changed from
<type>Geocache|Wherigo Cache</type>
to
<type>Geocache|Wherigo Caches</type>
Looks like a typo...(?)
-
Just wanted to let you know that Mystery Caches changed from
<type>Geocache|Unknown Cache</type>
to
<type>Geocache|Unknown (Mystery) Cache</type>
One of my scripts suddenly started ignoring Mystery Caches.

If the ads were not there we would be charged more to keep the website and all associated items running.
That's why I'm asking (it wasn't sarcasm).
How much Do I have to pay to get rid of this stuff?
Ad revenues won't be more than a few cents per registered user.Premium subscription without this annoying ads/cookie/tracking stuff for a few dollars more? DEAL!

Wouldn't it be logical to also hide the total number of founds if the display of the details was deactivated...?

Still happens every single time.
Looks like it tries navigating to N0° E0° in first place - which is exactly the shown 5320km from here...

Recent change on how Drafts are handled?
in Website

But there *are* no updates (for this problem)
It's just... silence...
Of couse, "posts in the bug reporting forum need to be constructive and helpful to the developers".
So what do you need to know? Is there anything *I* can do? Is there a workaround? Is there a timeline?
