Isonzo Karst

If you want HQ to be aware, you need to contact them. https://www.geocaching.com/help/ at the bottom of that page, see Contact us: From the pulldown, I'd use 16. Geocacher disagreement as that will likely end up with the correct staff group. Also, you disagree with the cache owner's choice to change the placed field from Poland, where it was published, to Russia where it is NOT. ;-)

Souvenir if any would stay. It's awarded with find Country I'm less sure of I suspect it too would remain. . I have two German state souvenirs, and China souvenir (cache finds from that list). My stats do not show those countries. This may be a function of years... ie, those finds were 2003 and 2004. They predate the stats module on this site. by the time the countries list was created, those finds were being excluded.

@baer2006 I expect the cache got added to list, found only a few times thereafter, (once?) and was archived. Finds there before list inclusion will have stats and souvenirs attached.

If this were near me, I'd log an Needs Archived, and let the relevant reviewers handle it.

Pay attention to the base map Image below of 2 different base maps in use among the 4 images you've shown. I see the roads indicated differently on different maps. I don't think your coords are being shifted, I think you're seeing maps with more or less detail as to roads. @GraueEule You might want to block out the final coords in your illustration above?

I'd say it depends. Looks like you found some caches in 2011. Using a handheld gps unit (?). If you're still caching with gps, and able to use the website and load caches to it, then you might want to continue doing that for a while, before going premium. See how long your 7 year old stays interested, or how long you stay interested ;-) Conversely, if you started up again with smartphone and the free Geocaching.com app, it's got limitations. There used to be an option to pay $10 for short term (1-3 months?) premium in the app. I don't know if it still exists. It is possible to use that app, + the website and do a lot of cache finding. Explain how is more than I'm going to fool with here. Premium will show you all caches, and tremendously better search options, so you can be hunting caches that are more apt to be fun. learning curve on using them, but being able to use them is sweet.

Novices downloading the app who do not offer a home location will see the app open in Seattle WA. They'll see Events, Trads at ratings of 2/2 and below, and GeoTours. Around HQ you'll see of this type of random logging, trying out the app. Tougher to detect now, after the HQ Celebration, a lot of legit logging there. If the app user is outside, the app will relocate to their current location. If they're inside, fiddling around, they may keep logging in and around Seattle.

https://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=5957327 It's a bug. When you're aware of it, you can delete the excess logs. Thanks for noticing! Oops! how to delete - view logs to the right of log will open the log on ts own page. As log owner, you'll see a garbage can icon in the upper right. Click that icon to delete the log. Looks like it happened with visits on Aug 31.

Watch is available to Basic members. If a Basic Member puts a cache on Watch, they will continue to receive logs, even if that cache is changed to PMO. I just checked this by logging on as my Basic Account, putting a Watch on https://coord.info/GC191CJ And then logging on as Isonzo Karst, editing to PMO, and logging "pointless note". My basic account received that log as email. yukionna's premise is correct, if there's a Basic Member Watcher on a cache, they'll get the logs, even if cache status changes to PMO. i don't think needs to be altered for a few edge cases of cache maggots (who, if they're genuinely interested can get real close to the location of a PMO trad using Search anyway) and I'm reasonably sure that the posted coords have only been editable via log entry since sometime in 2006. There may have been a period when both the Update Coords log and the ability to edit from the old edit page co-existed, but it was months, not years. @yukionna two thoughts on your time line and memory; i wonder if you're thinking of changing hidden coords? finals of mysteries, stages of multis? that's still hidden. Done a bit differently, but hidden. And you might check for your own oldest Update Coords log; https://www.geocaching.com/my/logs.aspx?s=1&lt=47

It's been that way since before your join date. My oldest Update Coords logs are from April 2006. Nothing has changed in the "now", at least not since you've been hiding.

On my owned hides, I'd rather have photo of log than, a Found it! log saying, "forgot pen"... ;-) Stuff happens, sometimes the log isn't signed. I'm good with proof of finding.

@JakeDot On any Mystery, without a human reading the page, the safest bet seems to be i don't show it. Also, older Mystery don't necessarily follow current standards. On LBH, because the underlying type might be Mystery. So both are excluded. I think it's time to change that about the planning map, ie, go ahead show the posted of Mystery and LBH where indicated as physical. Requiring that info at time of submitting for publication is now a ways back in time. The number of hides without is pretty small these days.

Whose push? Failing to have and support a free app would simply result in bankruptcy. Which would be, "a bad experience for both the would-be players and COs". I can be grumpy about Basic App users, but Geocaching.com has carried the load of maintaining the site in "old" and "new" forms, while enhancing and altering site functions to make site use more appealing to app users, and supporting and upgrading apps across platforms. Basic Members can come to the site and download the full gpx of any non_PMO cache. That was a Premium function for years and years. They get a lot of improved map and search abilities. Seriously, if you started today you'd probably never need to pay. Anyway, thread was started over explosion of false logging. False logging as error or deliberate has always been part of the game, but something is up this year.

The planning map is a modified version of the Search and Browse maps. It's showing 528ft (161m) circles around publicly visible coords of published physical caches. Mostly it offers less info than a Search map. It offers more info only when a staged cache has visible waypoints for physical stages (rare, but this does occur). Even if indicated as physical, it won't show posted of Mystery (typically all Challenges) or any LBH. If you have set of coords you're considering, rather than plug it into the planning map, plug it into Search then use the map link. You can get a variety of maps there.

Yep it's definitely a thing. None on my owned - or at least no logs that seem real unlikely ;-) I'm seeing 20 or more finds all over the world, one day, logged as tpff or equivalent. A bunch south of me as, "test log". Take an exotic place, say Greenland, ask for trads at D/T 2 and lower. Rank on recently found. Eyeball those finds. Simply amazing.

You were there? it was seen in the cache on Aug 15, log with image, and a discover log by the CO on the same day states in cache ?

@ecanderson I see you have 7 caches that will show in the free app for basic members (ie, Trads at D/T 2 or less, Events, and GeoTours) If it gets too bad, you can PMO them for a while. Definitely a thing this summer.

Retrieved will place it in the Inventory of the person who retrieves it. Given the image posted with the discovery log, I say it's pretty clear that TB is in that cache https://coord.info/GC9Y335 So @marsal53 follow the advice given by TriciaG above, post a Grab it log to the TB, that puts it into your inventory. Then with a Write Note log to GC9Y355, "drop it" there. And that will put it in the inventory of the cache where it actually is.

I don't see a Will Attend from you on the listing. Those who logged Will Attend receive Announcement logs. As there are no Announcement logs posted, the source of your email isn't your log. Have you registered somewhere, this year or in the past? or joined the Facebook group? Pay attention to the sender of, "emails for attendees reference the event". I don't think it's "noreply@geocaching.com"

Guidelines for Mega-Events 4. Mega-Events must take place at one main location and held on one day. Mega-Events must be a minimum of four (4) hours in duration. Events occurring on days before and/or after the main event day are side-events. Guidelines for Giga-Events 1.Giga-Events are required to follow the guidelines of Mega-Events unless otherwise stated below. -> held on one day I think the logging module changed late 2019, or early 2020, ie, only allowing logging on the 1 date = event date. But the 1 day requirement is older than that.

Hi mblatch, logs posted on days other than the default are doing that by exploiting a site bug. This is a violation of Terms of Use 2.4.3 Abuse or exploit bugs, undocumented features, design errors, or problems in our services. You might ask one of them rather than here in the forums. That said, the real bug is, "one date only" logging for Maze, which typically takes place over 3 -4 days. Maze is now created on the Event module, and it defaults to "Attended log on event date". Which is great for all other event types, which really do only take place on 1 date. Perhaps a future project will permit Maze to either have multiple dates, or permit attendees to alter logging date on the edit page.

I don't recall the map distance being 50 miles, though I'm not saying it wasn't. I just don't recall. I do recall that "filter out finds" did NOT filter out owned. Most of the hides near me are owned by me, easy for me to notice that. I agree that the behavior has changed. There are THREE links there "near your home location" "filter out finds" the map icon. All used to go to a map search. "near your home.." was all caches on a map centered on home coords. Now it goes to search, all caches 10 miles from home coords. "filter out finds" was a map , with found caches filtered out, now it goes to Search, centered on home coords, owned filtered out, 10 mile limit. The map icon went to a map of caches centered on home coords. it still does. I has no filters set, including no distance. I don't recall if it ever had a distance. I don't expect this to be changed back. All the "old profile" links differing from "new profile" are apt to go away. Site can't really support both.

The timing on the Abbotsford Events makes really doing this as opposed to simply logging it as done rather tricky. The Event only lasts 30 minutes, 19:00 - 19:30 and the CITO ends at noon. I think the list of finds you've compiled won't really work. A.P.E., HQ and likely webcam need to be early morning there, and everything else around or on route to Abbotsford.

Late to this, but here's the text above the planning map: "The map below displays visible locations that are already taken by existing geocaches. The map does not display hidden waypoints..." It cannot show hdden parts of staged caches, as that would provide an easy method to work out where they are; do some triangulation on the planning map. ;-) An oddity of the map is that it won't show the posted coords of Mystery or LBH, even when they're indicated as physical. (Most challenge caches for example). On the other hand, some Multi-caches offer all of their coords, other than the final, visibly on the cache page. Those will be shown on the planning map https://coord.info/GC82A4H. Step 1 of a pre-check. Enter your proposed coords into search. Limit to 2 miles, and see what's there. personally, I only asked for physical staged: Mystery, Multi, Letterbox, Wherigo. The trads I can see readily. The more staged you see, the more likely you are to have an issue. Of course, you can just be unlucky too.
