I have the same when trying to log a 'Found it': I often get an error saying something went wrong. When I refresh the page and try again, it works again.

If people want to cheat to earn a country souvenir they don't need Adventure Labs... You can find enough caches from CO's who are unactive, or caches that are wet/damaged/gone/... and are being logged without singing the log. There are plenty of ways to earn a regional souvenir if you really want it. You can even write an online log, and then delete it, but you will keep the souvenir. So I don't think Labs change anything to that...

This is my no 1 thing that I would love to see being added: Labcaches counting towards countries, counties, etc. Nowadays they almost always count towards souvenir-campaigns, so I really don't understand why that is not the case for countries etc. The way it's now, it still feels HQ doesn't see them as 'real' geocaches although they count towards your total number of finds, streaks, and other statistics. Apart from the technical aspect (which apparently could be solved), is there a (good) reason why they are not included in country finds?

Looks like a nice feature! It would be nice if you could swipe from one postcard to another, now you have to open one, click 'back', and then open the next one.

I know that adventure labs count toward your streak with Groundspeak, but not on project-gc
I was mainly reacting to this part of the post.
-
If you are a paying member of project GC, Labs also count towards your streak. Maybe not for challenge checkers, but for the length of your streak, they do (on the first Tab of your profile, after 'Current consecutive days with a find:' Labs count towards that number, I've done quite some days with only 1 LabCache in the past few months, and they all count).

I really like the new interface, but the resizing of the pictures is not good... I am someone who loves to add pictures to logs, but if you have to manually resize them, I will only add pictures when necessary in the future (i.e. for Virtuals and Earths). It just takes too much time to go through each picture and resize it.

And the announcement video says 2 souvenirs for 1000 and 2000 points, so that's confusing... Do Mega -events count as events this time? Sounds like a very easy challenge to finish with.

Last week, I put out my second series of Adventure Labs. They are properly displayed in my 'Geocaches owned', but they are not counted in the total number of my hidden geocaches (the totals says 23, but it should be 28). However, my first series of Labs is correctly counted. Is this a bug?
-
I only needed the 'event' to earn both souvenirs of August, and yesterday evening there was a Cito followed by an event not too far away. So we went to the Cito, logged it as 'attended', and no souvenir came up. An hour later the Cito ended, and the event started. When I logged my 'attended' for his one, both souvenirs immediately appeared. So it seems a Cito doesn't count as an 'event' for this month's souvenirs.
-
Same here, and now I am suddenly logged out from the website and the app as well (and cant' login again).

Perhaps the counter point to that thinking is Taiwan which has a souvenir.
Yes, I was thinking about that as well after typing my reply.

And (as I replied to another topic) for Serbia it probably has to do with the fact that most of the world recognizes Kosovo as a separate country, but Serbia doesn't (and still sees Kosovo as a Serbian province). So they probably wait until that is settled, and can then make souvenirs for both Serbia and Kosovo. Western Sahara is probably the same story, since it isn't recognized by Morocco (although Morocco already has a souvenir). I personally am waiting for the Svalbard-souvenir as well :-)
-
This probably has more to do with geopolitics than the number of geocaches I think. Especially the situation/independence of Kosovo (which doesn't have a souvenir either), but is seen/recognized as a separate country by most other countries now (but not by Serbia). So they are probably still in doubt/waiting until Serbia recognizes Kosovo as a country until they release a souvenir for Serbia and one for Kosovo is my guess.
-
Have they stopped making new country-souvenirs? The last one that was added already dates from February 23rd, before that there were new ones every few weeks. There still are some countries missing it seems, so it would be nice if this is finished one day (and every country has its souvenir).
-
Which is strange, because the page about the Wheel of Challenges clearly says they should count:
These are the leaderboard point values for the challenge:
- Found a cache with 10+ Favorite points = 20 points
- Received a Favorite point on an owned geocache = 50 points
- Found it* = 10 points
*Log a Found it on any cache type including Adventure Lab Locations
-
We logged a LabCache well after the new challenge started here (others caches are showing on the leaderboard), but the LabCache doesn't show yet... Events/Cito's don't seem to count either.

There isn't one I believe, the blogpost says to check your statistics to see how many caches you have found this month, but that's pretty useless since caches found on April 1st or 2nd don't count for the Wheel of Challenges... I also would prefer just one souvenir with a different level, and not three souvenirs which look exactly the same, apart from 1 small colour detail.

Same here... Another workaround for me is logging out, and then refreshing the screen so that I see all adventures. After this, I log in and then don't refresh the screen, so I can start the adventure. I hope this gets fixed soon!
-
Same here. Not the right moment when you want to finish an AL that has a publication deadline of tomorrow...
-
Yesterday was the third Wednesday of April, and again - just as in March - no new country souvenir?
Edit: Apparently there have been new souvenirs for Cambodia and the Dominican Republic. I must have missed the communication around them then... Great to see new country-souvenirs being released!
-
Maybe I missed it, but has there already been a release of a country souvenir this month?
-
It is said that you can do an Adventure Lab as well to recieve the souvenir. However, if you're in Europe, and log a LabCache in the morning, the logging date on the website (as can be seen on the calendar) is dated on the previous day. In the overview of LabCaches however, the 'real' logging date is used. So here is my question: which date is used to award the souvenir? The date on the GC-website (which as a results mean that ie in Europe you shouldn't log a LabCache before noon), or the date of the Adventure Lab-website?
-
When you're a paying member of Project GC, Labs are included in your streak (but not in the Ranking of Top streaks).

Release Notes (Adventure Lab®: Read to me) - January 24, 2024

Here, the feature doesn't seem to work on our 2 Samsung A51's... Clicking the green 'arrow' turns it into 2 vertical lines, but we don't hear anything (sound is on). On my other phone from work (a Redmi) it works.
