  1. I hate posting topics, as I always fear someone has already started one of similar discussion. Is anyone else having issues running PQ's tonight? I sent one to go an hour ago and it still hasn't ran.

  2. Once I found a cache that was in a poison ivy bush,against a tree with the vines going up it. Didn't wash, kept caching for 5 hours and no PI. Walked thru it countless times and haven't ever gotten it. Same thing with other members of the family. Guess I was born to be a cacher :rolleyes: Just wish I could share that attribute with everyone else.

  3. If Eusty's suggestion doesn't work, try contacting Garmin again. If the rep insists on the $79 fee ask to speak with a supervisor. Garmin has been known to waive the fee for out of warranty unit repairs and in this case where it was their software that broke the unit you might have a really good argument for insisting that they do so.

     

    Basically just keep talking when you call Garmin.... :laughing:

  4. Get the GC too. I occasionally use my iPhone with my handheld, especially under heavy tree cover. As people said, the GC is much more rugged, and the entire device is geared towards caching and nothing else. If you don't have insurance on your iPhone, you drop it or whatever, you get to pay a nice $630 (assuming you have the 16GB model :smile: )

  5. Yes. In the notifications area, when you see all of the notifications you have set. Basically you have to create duplicates of those but at the bottom put in a different email address. You have to do that for each one.

  6. Heh.

     

    I posted a local challenge, and it's kind of going ... out of control. It's international already.

     

    It'll be fun to see where this goes...

    I appreciate the fact that you're following up on those that are claiming to complete the challenge when in fact the didn't complete the challenge. It's kind of mind boggling that when issuing a challenge to take a photo of a specific river that someone will claim to have completed the challenge while knowingly posting a photo of a completely different river.

     

    Hopefully, after the novelty wears off we'll start seeing more challenge creators that have some pride in what they've created and will politely inform those that are not actually completing the challenge as intended that "no, you did not complete the challenge" as you have done.

     

    At least we don't have, take a photo with some cacher no one ever sees.

  7. Yep, I was wrong. They do count. A lot are armchair. Reviewers anyone?

    No thanks. Reviewers have zero involvement with this new feature. It was designed that way and must stay that way.

     

    If you mean "get a new group of volunteers to help Groundspeak with these", that's a different question

     

    Hey Keystone. Yes different reviewers. I could not possibly imagine you guys publishing all these.

  8. Yep, I was wrong. They do count. A lot are armchair. Reviewers anyone?

     

    This challenge system needs to disappear ASAP, sorry yours included.

     

    If it mean't all of them going, I wouldn't even care losing mine. Groundspeak really does not want us making worldwide it sounds. They have a feedback area to suggest worldwide challenges.
