There's an earthcache in Qatar that requires the use of vinegar (and a magnifying glass).

Yep. And I have no issue with seeing another listing almost identical; no harm in that. But returning to see an entirely different listing than what you found is a bit different than that...
There's subjectivity in deciding how 'different' a listing should be before publishing a new one. That debate could rage into the foreseeable future
One of our finds has had its name, description, location and size changed post adoption, the new CO only kept the GC code and hidden date the same.

Seperate App, not available on a PC, seperate logging requirements, seperate placing guidelines we could go on but its easier to just keep pretending.

@Keystone how do we get Groundspeak to put a stop to these armchair Adventure Labs?
If Groundspeak doesn't act to prohibit this style of Lab then it will probably be the final straw that prompts me to quit geocaching.
No need to quit geocaching, just quit lab caching.

COs that Say they did maintenance but didn't
There's a whole thread on this subject.

So, today is Pie Day. Is there no souvenir to be had?
Sorry to disappoint, but outside of the USA and possibly a few other countries it is 14/03/22 today - nothing special about that as far as I'm aware.

(Extract from full post)
- Date preferences issues have been fixed and you can see the format of the date from settings is matching to the last found and placed dates columns
-
Thank you, a small, but important to us, change.

Echoing the request to have the date format as per personal preferences - we use UK date format (DD/MM/YY) and are not, and have no intention of ever being American!

Maybe a reviewer could help them out!

We logged a NA as the cache is one we DNF'd previously - cue vitriol from the CO (duly ignored) who then archived the cache.

I go to Play - Search, then in the opening page I click in the City, state, coordinates, GC code... box and select Home Location - 16km radius option:
That then brings up all the caches within that radius, including ones I've found and ones I own:
If I click on Filters and do anything, for example select Not found by me and Caches I don't own, it then throws away my search location and radius and instead does a worldwide search:

5 years 7 months to compete GC1D17R, we started in February 2013 and finally got round to completing it in Sep 2018 - it is only about 11 miles long and the final location is less than 4 miles from home, we picked up the clues during a series of shorter circular walks over the years.

Yeah, and some people are creeped out by the prospect of someone casing them like this, possibly because a similar thing has lead to unwanted interactions in the past. I don’t really see why anything further needs to be said on the topic.
If somebody is "creeped out" by the prospect of someone casing them, why would they contact the cache owner (probably a total stranger) at all?

We started with one of these whilst in Saudi Arabia in 2008- the total number of waypoints (152?) - was exactly the same as the number of caches in country at the time!
We also carried a ring binder with a print out of every cache listing, and only replaced it when the LCD screen died.

I'm in two minds about this. On the one hand, I'm appreciative of the D/T and cache type restrictions on the basic level app protecting most of my caches from muggles-with-apps, although last year's lockdown-bred PM muggles-with-apps created enough mayhem, with one of them using my cache as a urinal. But on the other hand, a new basic member won't have much available in my area, just 9 caches to pick from and an event at the end of January to attend if they haven't lost interest by then.
When I got into caching I didn't have a smart phone, so my introduction was through the website and downloading .loc files to my newly-purchased Garmin 62S. I immediately experienced many of the higher terrain caches in the bushland around here and was hooked. Had I been an app-only newbie I doubt whether those handful of roadside hides would have held my interest, although that one with the star on it near Patonga might have .
Basic member caches in your small area should count themselves lucky - in the WHOLE of Kuwait (where Mrs me N u is currently working) there are a grand total of 5 caches available to basic members who are not military personnel.
Edit - and only 16 non military available caches in total.

GC2NQZP Sembawang hot spring in Sinagapore.
An earthcache that epitomises geocaching for us - somewhere we would never have found as it is not listed on any tourist sites or in any guide books, it involved a train and bus journey followed by a short walk around the boundary fence of a military installation, said fence had been diverted to allow public access to the hot spring and as we were approaching the entrance an elderly local gentleman rode past us on a bicycle and pointed whilst shouting "hot spring, hot spring" a special memory for us!
-
We refer to GZ as the point on the surface of the earth that our GPSR takes us to when navigating to the listed coordinates, and at least here in the UK, Groundspeak geocache listings DO NOT include elevation, so apart from attributes/cache description, we have no way of knowing the elevation - we have found a cache in a mine shaft where the listed coordinates were vertically above the cache but the entrance was some distance off and those coordinates listed as a waypoint (with no elevation information).

A nice cold DING to Colleda - no apologies for being sneaky with the question, Pluto's first moon (Charon) was discovered in 1978 when Pluto was still regarded as the ninth planet in the solar system.
-
Hint - something changed in 2006.
-
Nope not Jupiter - that was the first planet (after earth) found to have moons orbiting it.
-
Not Uranus either.
-
Not Neptune -2 planets have had their first moon discovered since Neptunes.

Thank you and sticking with the solar system and moons:
Which was the last planet found to have at least one moon orbiting it?
Edit to clarify question (hopefully!)

If the "wrong" answers are an honest attempt, we would never delete a log, we do try and reply to all those who send answers with our version what we were looking for.
We do delete logs if no attempt is made to answer or we get messages along the lines of "we were in the country, didn't visit the site but can we log a find?"
