It seems to be that the person who put the OPs trackable in their collection did it on accident. They only have 17 finds and I assume don't really know much about trackables.
-
WOW! I just tried it with one of my trackables and I was able to move it to the collection of my boyfriends account. This is absolutely insane in my opinion. Why would this ever be an option? And you can't "Grab" it back from them once it is in the other accounts collection. Here is what you can do though. I just tried it. Uncheck the box that says "Make this trackable collectible" on the edit trackable page and then you can grab it back from the person and drop it in the correct cache if you'd like. It worked with my own trackable that I just tried.

Adjusted Coordinates on Map?
Sherminator18 replied to qtbluemoon's topic in General geocaching topics
They have fixed the issue that occurred earlier where caches were no longer displayed at the corrected coordinates. They are back to displaying as the new feature is intended -
So I did some investigating and found which of your trackables you're referring to. This definitely seems like a bug and DEFINITELY shouldn't be possible. I'd contact HQ about it
-
As far as I'm aware moving a trackable to your collection is only able to be done by the trackable owner. It is not supposed to be allowed to happen for anyone else. I would suggest contacting HQ about this. Could you provide some info on which of your trackables you're referring to?
-
Yes, that was a bug, a mistake. And it has been fixed now.

Some may consider it a 'problem', while others may not. There are valid reasons to see caches at posted coords (geoart, cache icon overlapping) and also valid reasons to see caches at corrected coords (searching, proximity checking). I think that Groundspeak's implementation was an attempt to accommodate both sides, but obviously not everyone agrees with it. My hope is that the feature's implementation will be adjusted, preferably with a toggle option. In any case, this isn't a "bug". Well I liked seeing where the caches were that I solved without doing the PQs. So hopefully there will be an option for that and keep things the other way for those who don't want to see it. Anyways, its not necessarily a bug to some people, but we're supposed to be seeing where the caches corrected coords are on the map. It appears they tried to change something yesterday that took away this functionality by mistake. It is a bug that caches with coorected coordinates are no longer showing at said corrected coordinates on the map. I'm sure HQ is working on fixing this. I really doubt they would implement a new feature, especially one that a lot of people had been looking for, only to take it away a few days later. I'm sure this is an error.

It can take awhile for the servers to give everyone their souvenir. My best advice would be to have your friends double check that they logged their Attended for the event for the correct date (in your case 7/2) and then just wait and see. If it gets to be over a week or so they can contact Geocaching.com and they will award their souvenir Link

New App - can't use without logging in?
Sherminator18 replied to Bean & Sprout's topic in Official Geocaching® apps
Don't log out. I use my iPhone on wifi as you do, and download the cache lists for "offline use". They're in the "Lists" section, accessible without being online. I'm not choosing to log out. Usually it's fine but sometimes when I go to use it I have to log in. Not sure what causes it. If I don't realise until I am literally out in the field there is nothing I can do, the app is useless even offline. I have never had this problem. My app is always logged in with my username. There is no way to access any of the app without being logged into an account. -
As noncentric said, this isn't a bug, this is a new feature of the map on the website and app. If you have corrected coordinates entered for a cache, the icon will show at the corrected coordinates with a puzzle piece icon. Once you have found the cache it will turn into a smiley and will go back to the original coordinates. You can find the entire announcement here

Yellow Dot on Android APP Menu
Sherminator18 replied to Soaring Eagle 7's topic in Official Geocaching® apps
The yellow dot indicates that you have pending Drafts -
So the problem that is currently frustrating me is that I never actually logged the caches as Found. And yet it won't let me upload the drafts for those caches, because it thinks I've already found them, but I haven't, because I used the delete all option to delete all the drafts I had saved. Making this process even more frustrating and time consuming.
-
I believe I have found a bug. I uploaded a .txt file into the new Drafts page, but then clicked delete all. When I tried to upload a file again, with the same caches, it wouldn't upload the drafts and gave me an error message saying something along the lines of "there are no drafts to upload" Does this have to do with not being able to log multiple Found it logs on the same cache? Because I never actually logged the caches in my drafts as found. EDIT: Looks like I should read the entire thread before posting. Oops.. but I am putting in my 2 cents that I'm having this issue as well

If you're just looking to convert one type of coordindates to another you can use a website to do that. Like this one: http://www.earthpoint.us/Convert.aspx
-
Also note worthy, I believe the new earthcache guidelines require at least one of the questions to be in regards to observations at the earthcache site that are not directly off a sign. I had a reviewer come back to me once because I needed an additional question about an observation other than finding an answer on a sign.

Hi! Are you still seeing this issue or did it happen only once? The settings are certainly sticky so it would be unexpected for your settings to change, but if that is continuing to happen then we can investigate further to find the cause. Thanks! Yes, this is still happening. And I am on a different computer now. This time I switched it to "Yours" and clicked to view a log and then clicked the back button and it went back to "Community" Different computer - Windows 7 with Chrome Here is what I just figured out. If I change the setting for the Latest Activity from one selection to the other, I have to refresh my page before selecting a log and then using the back button does not switch the selection from Yours to Community or vice versa. It should save without me having to refresh the page.

It does have it's own icon, but it doesn't have a special picture. It is just the circular grey trackable symbol. I see it on your profile.
