  1. The reviewer has noted several DNFs, the cache needs maint, etc. If no response, then the reviewer archives. I agree it would be nice to be able to keep the old ones around.
  2. I am not that familiar with posting in the fourms, so if this was already posted somewhere, sometime, me culpa What to do with really old caches, 2000, 2001, etc that the owner is no longer involved... And do we care if the old ones go away? IS there a PQ to run to see if any owner is active or last time they logged in? Any thoughts? Here goes.
  3. I think those other pages and linking the another web site that holds or hosts that file Good luck
  4. I dont post in the forums much , so I hope I got the right area. Expo Update: Volunteers Needed! We are looking for energetic, enthusiastic people to help staff our Science Expo on April 4th at Balboa Park. Volunteers will help us staff information booths, hand out maps, answer questions and help our many collaborators throughout the day. In return, volunteers will be given a Festival t-shirt and our undying gratitude! If you are interested in helping out, please email acrynne@gmail.com. In addition, as part of my Scouting organization, I will have a table called the Science of Geocaching. If you want to help man the table from 1030 to 6pm, let me know. I will have four caches for the kids to find. If you have any swag to donate such as patches, decals, other small trinkets, let me know. It should be a fun day! Tony (tanner_scout)
  5. I do the same thing. I am paperless, mostly, but its nice to have that printout. I would have saved me a lot the other day to park closer.
  6. If you are a premium member, you can do a PQ and select an attribute, Recommended at night
  7. Just saw the second movie. I was wondering if anyone has created any cache based on the movie. Some cool ideas...
  8. I really liked Gpxsonar. I will try the export on gsak
  9. Some details would help. Why exactly can't you import the file? Are there any errors displayed? As for the inability to select a database, if the program is unregistered then that explains it... that's one of the trial limitations. Im running the trial version, thats why its not working for me. Would like before buying. Any other software apps that I could try?
  10. I have a Motorola Q with WM5. I have tried to use cachemate, but having some issues. Any other suggestions for software for paperless geocaching. Also tried GPXSonar, but would not install. Any other suggestions out there? Thanks Tony
  11. I installed cachemate on my Moto Q, running WM5. I cannot seem to import my gpx file. Also, tried to change database, but would not. Any help apprecaited
  12. I am heading to Boston for business, Nov 26. Any TBs or coins need to go East? Anyone have recommended/must see/must do caches? Tony
  13. This just started happening to me. I stopped gett new cache notifications & new logs posted on caches I own. I sent a trouble ticket to groundspeka.com Sounds similar possibly. How was yours resolved
  14. I bet the third set of notifications are mine. I have not been getting mine. A while back they just stopped, then about two months later just started again, now I'm back to not getting them.
  15. If you go to the web page, click on the Send to GPS button and will load to the garmin unit Good luck
  16. I have the Sony CLIE PEG-TH55 which I think is very similar to yours. However, I am in the same boat as you. I am trying to figure out the best way to use what I have and the best software to use to make them interact with one another the best. My equipment is the PDA mentioned above for paperless caching, Garmin eTrex for the trails, a Lowrance iway 500c in the car to get me there and finally a toshiba laptop to act as mission control. I have also installed the following software: EasyGPS and Cachemate. I am still learning how to use this software. Up until now, I have been manually entering waypoints on the Garmin and the Lowrance for each and every cache (takes a lot of time).
  17. I think I have the same situation. I have been using a PDA (PPC), but I still miss having a map of the area to visual where I am. I am using the yellow garmin etrex. Any better ideas, maybe to upgrade
  18. I like #7. That should be any easy one to add since the data already exists on another page
  19. You may want to do it now, while you havent got a whole slew of caches to log. The only problem is that it will make you a new member, other than that Id say do it and start from scratch while its still an easy task for ya to do the swapping. You could have a new account and all your caches swapped over within 30 minutes...Just predate them, you could even cut and paste the logs. But you cant swap those Coin and Bug moves you have. Id say if the name you want is worth becoming a new member...Get it while the gettins good, and you dont have abunch of caches and hides to swap. It would be mostly a pain for people that have many finds, hides, all them trackables, (whether owned, moved or discovered) and their reputation in the area...and boy would it screw up their stats page a bit! See my other posts. Can I just add a new name, then copy all my prevous posts. I dont want to delete since my son wants his name (and we signed him up as premium, which probably statys with that name) My name will just be basic member until I decide we need 2 premiums.. Tony
  20. Thanks again...I got it But sometimes software can be rewriten too. Im no pro by all means, just figuring there may be a way to swap a file over or change a name...just doesnt seem like a hard task is all. The problem here is that opposite happened. You used to be able to change your name. But TPTB wanted to add some new feature and found a Commercial Off-The-Shelf product that provided that feature. The problem was that this product didn't allow for users to change their username. So TPTB convinced themselves that noboby really needed to change user names for Geocaching anyways and removed the capability in order to integrated with this new feature. The problem is I don't really know what this new feature is. Some people think it is the new portal/forum software that so far is only being used by Waymarking. It's possible that the new feature uses the user name to index into a database and doesn't allow this index to change. If so, they could've just added new permanent name to the Geocaching.com database and when accessing the new feature do a lookup of the permanent name based on the user guid or member id that already exists. But instead of developing the glue code to do this mapping, TBTP choose the "easy" way and now are paying for it by having to deal with requests asking to change user names. It may still be possible for them to add a display name that can be changed and use this display name in logs and forum post while keeping a permanent username to use for logging in to GC.com and other Groundspeak sites (and indexing into the new feature). I like your thinking. I am an engineer(software/systems). I can understand the issue here. But I also believe it can be changed or provide an alternate solutions. Nothing is impossible it may be difficult ot have a big cost/schedule. But lets see if we can make a change. I started a few months ago with a name I signed up with my son. Now more of the famility is invloved and we want to change to family name, altho my son likes his name. So we might have a team name + his name. Which will probably double my workload ...
  21. Very nice. Looking forward to trying paperless. We've been doing about a month now and approaching 70 finds so far. We're hooked!
