  1. I just noticed this on one of my caches that uses amazon aws. It shows a broken link where the picture should be. Have not been able to look into it yet. thanks for bringing it up. However... another cache whee I did the same thing, is working perfectly. What should I do? Aside from wait until TPTB get this figured out? Thanks
  2. Yes indeed. It is a bit of a learning curve but when you figure it out, I can't imagine anything better. Thank you Clyde
  3. I just updated my Oregon 550 a couple of weeks ago. No problems using Garmin Express. That software is pretty much mature so updates would be minimal. I have been generally pleased with my 550. Also had a 450 which was ok but I found I wanted a camera more than I thought I would so I gave it away and use either the 550 or my 750T. On the 450 and the 550 fur sure, the rubber on off button can wear severely to the point of possibly leaking or cracking and wearing away completely. I accidentally found a makeshift replacement part on ebay. Kinda pricey, over $25 but it does work with the right glue. I think the one I bought came out of Russia so it can take a while to arrive. I think it is from a 3D printer but that doesn't seem to be a problem. Also thanks for the reference link to Oregon gps. I have not seen that one. cache happy
  4. Amazon has lots of o-rings, just get the right size and material. These are the measurements I use Regular Bisons 3/8" Inside diameter, 1/2" Outside diameter, 1/16" thickness Nano's 5/16 Inside diameter, 7/16" outside diameter, 1/16" thickness Matchstick tubes:15/16 Inside diameter, 1 1/16" outside diameter, 1/16" thickness. BIG Bisons 1 7/8" Inside diameter, 2 1/8" Outside diameter, 1/8" thickness Sample part number for nanos AS 568 011 on Amazon. (Just a starting point) I like the silicone red, the black neoprene doesnt hold up. these are low enough in cost to give away on the hunt as repairs
  5. THANK YOU This could be priceless. This has merit. I will try it tonight.
  6. I have several Placed with Permission caches that I occasionally give log updates to the property owners. There are many good pictures that I would like to pass on to the property owners as part of the log updates. I can print the pictures one at a time but that seems a little cumbersome. Is there a reasonable and simple way to print the pictures so that the pictures are a reasonable size and enjoyable for the viewer? Thank you
  7. Elsewhere in these forums, I noted that there are no letters ... L, O, U, I, S for cache GC numbers. Presumably that would also apply to trackables too. Page title was Gc code Numbers, March 16, 2018 oops just saw barefoot jeff's note. Still true I think
  8. Would posting a Write Note to the cache page saying that you have tried other means to contact the CO and would like to talk with the CO about adopting the cache? Just spitballing here...
  9. thanks... This helps but the right side of the page is cut off. Between the 3 and 2 in the gc number. (Forgot about that, I think this had been presented in these forums????) Now this is strange...I just switched to Firefox and it printed many pages, but with the GC number cut off like with Chrome trying to print GC321KK Open wide...
  10. Back in the day I could display an entire cache with all of the logs. Then I could select all of that screen and print it onto paper. Now it seems the best I can do is print 10 logs. Even if I display MANY logs, I can only print 3 pages. I have many private property caches and I like to give the property owners a nice printout from time to time. How can I print an entire set of logs? Tried some other browsers but no improvement. I am using : FireFox 115.0.3 64B Win 10.
  11. What about using CamelCase like this...ThisIsMyNewUserName ? that usually works out pretty well
  12. Looks like you have used the little pencil to update coordinates at some time in the past. This is only visible to you and does not change when you update coordinates on the right side of the screen. (Your personal changes are shown in italics font) To fix...click on the little pencil and do a restore of the correct coordinates. Then all will be ok.
  13. I remembered this post when I accidentally found this... Go to..... Dashboard Your Geocache Logs Found it Logs are shown in reverse order, the caches with the blue heart are ones you have favorites. Hope this helps
  14. What about the possibility of a new attribute called "Cache Is Up For Adoption"?
  15. As one post pointed out, the difference wouldn't likely be all that significant. My Frustration is with people with many THOUSANDS of finds and never posting a single FAV. These are often the same people who go out (often with a group of like minded people) who find dozens of caches in a weekend, where those caches have high favorite counts, still not leaving a single FAV. Thanks for allowing me to vent. mb
  16. The GC code is still being cut off. Now I notice that NO logs are printed. Only 3 pages. I want to print what I see on the screen, just as a cacher would see it so I can give it to the property owners for my caches from time to time. Printing of a full cache page works ok on other sites. Situation appears to be only at geocaching.com. I tried clicking on No Logs, 5 logs, etc but that produced something that is just not presentable to a property owner to get and keep him captivated. Why would this change be made to cripple the presentation of the cache page? Am I missing something (new)?
  17. Not sure what the benefit is for the great story, helpful would be. Sounds good I guess but so far I have not seen one. If you want to do something like this that would help me as a cache owner and even as a cacher, show me a blue ribbon on the actual lot for the people who gave a favorite. cache happy
  18. I make printouts to give to the owners of private property where I have hidden caches. I noticed this same thing a week or so ago. I also noticed that on SOME cache pages when I click (File, Print) in Firefox there is a light area on the screen and on the printed page in the area of the GC logo and the cache title. Have not seen a way to fix these things. Firefox 88.0 Win 10
  19. Or another thought...why would someone NEVER give a favorite, despite having found thousands of caches? Surely some of them must have been worthy.
  20. The email from GS a couple of weeks ago telling me how many favorites I have available inspired me to raise the question. I thought surely that someone would have mentioned this, but maybe this is not well known. Why don’t you give Favorites? I have noticed that some cachers have found many THOUSANDS of caches but have never given even a single Favorite. Some of those people have hidden caches that have received Favorite points. I have also noticed that there are cachers, often caching in groups, who will travel to an area and find only caches that have lots of Favorite points. But these cachers often do not give Favorite points in recognition of the well done hides they are seeking. Often they post a cut and paste log. So if you specifically seek out caches with lots of Favorites, why don’t you also award those caches with Favorites? Maybe not all of the caches you find, but it seems like at least some would be deserving of recognition. I don’t expect a favorite for a lamp post or a guard rail (unless it has a breath taking view of the Grand Canyon). I know people whose lives have been changed dramatically by this game. The joy of being awarded a Favorite adds a ray of sunshine that can’t be found anywhere else. Favorites cost nothing but a mouse click on that Blue Heart just below the log form. The message to the CO is priceless, visible and lasting.
  21. I mainly used it to see if there were any lookers on a newly published cache. Even that had limitations since the access points were not all leaving a tell-tale. So therefore of limited use, but still a little bit helpful. Just dont see any privacy issue with the audit logs. Certainly not in comparison with your other posts and pics, as noted in the above post by hal-an-tow. If retention is truly an issue, delete certain items after a certain period of time. On occasion I will go into a cache page just to see if the CO (who I know) is paying attention. No one has ever said a word.
  22. ^^This. Why would you go caching without a pen? I have never seen a log that was too small to write on. Full log? write in the margins and file a NM. What you think if you went to a lot of trouble to create a nice cache in an interesting area, and someone claimed that they found the cache but didn't sign the log fecause they "forgot their pen"?
  23. ok Thank you for verifying that I have lost my my mind. I somehow managed to confuse looking at the finds page for another cacher with my own dashboard and expecting to see the star representing my own cache on my own dashboard. Could someone please close this thread and hide it under the rug somewhere beside my brain. Everything is back to wonderful now, at least as wonderful as it will ever get. Thank you.
  24. Yesterday I noticed that the "star" symbol for my caches is missing or blank when I look at my dashboard. I logged out, then back in. No change. I waited a bit to see if anyone would not a similar situation here, but none have. Have I lost my mind? (Wait, don't answer that) Are you seeing the same thing?
