I just went to an archived cache from few years ago and deleted a note I had on there with no issues. If the cache is locked, or even worse, retracted, then you can't delete your logs on it, but of it's simply archived, there shouldn't be any issues.

Completely OK, IMHO. With the condition that they do state in their logs what they signed as, and the members of the team. E.g. I was once part of a 14-cacher crew, walking around an island, finding the caches there, and we cane up with a team name, so I formatted all my logs like this: https://coord.info/GL16FQWBF As a cache owner, I would actually appreciate logs like this, if it's a micro cache placement, to save logbook space. And oh boy, if your cache happens to be near a bigger event, or even a Mega...

If you want to see your caches keep going and find like it's not feasible to maintain them, you may consider reaching out to other local cachers to see if someone would be keen to adopt. But to add to your original topic, that's an interesting thing to think about. Being in my mid-30s it's not something that would cross my mind yet. However it has already been more than 15 years since I started caching, and, not as a person, but as a geocacher, I can already be considered "old-school" . I used to wander around until early hours in the mornings with friends, or alone, while geocaching and urban exploring. Nowadays I don't really do that anymore. I also used to do more things that could lead to injury/arrest than now, while caching. Which is probably more result of better guidelines and mature cache placements but also getting older definitely plays part there.

I have a geocoin that I only visit in my every 100th cache find. My milestone story teller. I want to also write out a log for each of those visits but am at least 10 years behind in doing that

I think that's the key there - two of the ones logged on the phone were deleted and logged on the website. So that would have changed the order proabably. P.S. I can't advocate enough for posting a find time and a counter on each log. I didn't consistently add the counter up until I found >1000 caches, but writing down the time has been a thing for me since the beginning. So much so that I get really annoyed (for no reason) when people don't write down their exact time of FTF in their logs

Were all the logs posted via the same method? (website/app/gsak etc) I can't remember exactly what was the issue but I think it is known that logs submitted via different means can have a different timestamp in the GC database. Someone can elaborate or correct me if I'm wrong. Personally, I also like my logs to appear in the correct order, but I really care only for big milestones. I also always add exact time of find and a counter to my logs, so the list order is not that important if I need to go back to years old logs to figure out what was the exact order of caches I found on a day.

1. I would partially agree with your first point - archiving an existing one, if there is an issue that makes it unplayable, and getting a replacement credit should be a thing. But I would strongly disagree if players would start archiving and recreating purely to "keep the game fresh" 2. Which comes to me completely and strongly disagreeing with any sort of a suggestion of auto-archival. I am sometimes going out and finding lonely caches that haven 't been visited for 10 years. And they are still there and in good condition. I want to go and find historic AdLabs when I first travel to a new place where an adlab was placed in 2019, even if it hasn't been visited for the last 4 years. 3. I don't think the system ignores the COs who have put out successful AdLabs. It's just more of a random thing than anything, I think. I kept getting the credits even though I wasn't specifically applying for them. I have now made 7 ALs in total. (Excluding that experiment one back in 2014)

You don't have to "use" (as in sign-in) twitter to follow the link and view the tweets though. IMHO it's a good way to distribute real time short updates like that. Geocaching forums might be inaccessible, if Groundspeak have a serious outage anyway.

You can't do anything about it until Groundspeak fix it. Also, there was already another thread right below this one, with the discussion, so this topic can probably be closed. Also, you can still use the site, look up the map, log caches etc. just not the (old) dashboard... P.S. You can go most common used things on the site from the search page https://www.geocaching.com/play/search

Just going to add that it is the same for me - have now tried it from 2 different PCs and from Android. Looks like the old dashboard is definitely broken.

And here we are in 2024 still waiting for a new Oregon... The rubber on the on/off button on my Oregon 700 just disintegrated, after good 7 years of use

Sounds like a locality to me too. Around where I am, I don't remember finding film canisters and pill bottles listed as "small"

Looks like we are sill not getting a nano category. One can hope though

Sorry to bring up an old topic. BUT. It's been more than 5 years since "sometime soon" was mentioned, however the annoyingly wrong lookup codes are still coming up. I just created a multi-cache last week, and this is how it appears on the website. Do we have any update on this?

What is your timezone set to? I have UTC+12 When I look at your profile, I also see 21st for you

Interesting. For you, it says 250, and then when I tap on that, I see "This player has 167 active cache hides". So I'm guessing, it only shows all of them only on your own profile. From someone else perspective it hides the archived ones.

If I open my profile tab on the app, it shows 50 hides. This is the count I actually have. But if I tap on the "Hides" from there to expand, it shows "59 caches". Not sure how that is happening. I suspect it could have something to do with AdLabs, but not sure where is it getting whole 9 new hides from. Running the latest Android app version (v9.9.0)

I found and logged a few caches on Saturday, 20th. This is about 9:30am NZ time, so could understand if the souvenir said it was earned on 19th Aug. But instead the souvenir says, it was earned on 21st of August! It shows correctly on the app, as 20th, so it must be a website specific bug to the IGC Day souvenir? Because with those caches I also happened to unlock one of the Signal's Labyrinth souvenirs, and that shows correctly both on the website and the app.

I know that I have an Adventue Lab cache that there is absolutely no way to view (AFAIK), but it shows up on my hides. So I have done 5 normal adventure labs, each with 5 location. 5x5=25. But I have 26 under my profile because of that time when Groundspeak did some sort of a Valentines promotion 10 years ago and allowed people to create a virtual AL cache. But what is even odder, I just had a look on geocaching app, and it says I have hidden a total of 59 caches!? How did it get that number?

Can confirm that this is still happening

I thought this was a good solution as well. I discovered it 3 years ago already, after creating my first AL. But now, after putting a couple more out, I was playing around and discovered the following: even though you delete your "finds", they are still recorded in the AL stats. I didn't know this before because the stats show only the first 10 to complete. But now I did it not too long after only one person had done it, and now I'm in my own AL stats...And can clearly see that even though my logs are deleted, it still shows up on the AdLab itself, just not on my profile count. Just something to be aware of if you want to "remove" your own ones from the map this way. Groundspeak should really fix these things by adding another filtering option and by preventing ow logging of ALs. Also, I found that I can review my own Adlab, but at least it's possible to delete that. But this also shouldn't be possible.

Now I feel silly that I did not notice that! I get it now. If this was any other event that just got cancelled because of covid and archived, it wouldn't be an issue - just create a new listing, new code ad go. But I guess because it's the special "celebration" one, once it was clear that the published one is not going to happen, it was retracted into a pre-published state, like when it was awarded, so that the CO could still use it and not lose it. I also have one of those events that I still have to put out, and when it was awarded, it came with a GC code from the start. Makes sense now! Thanks, this topic can be closed!

OK, this is a bit of a weird one. I have this bookmark list https://coord.info/BM1EFWC I'm trying to add this cache listing to it https://coord.info/GC8ZDE7 On the cache page, it shows, it's in the list. When I open the list, it's not in there. Trying to add it again, nothing happens. That cache listing, I can add it to any other of my lists, and it shows up. I can remove from any other lists, no problem. This list, it's stuck somewhere in the no-cache-land. I have tried different browsers, no luck. Help?

Is Groundspeak looking into this issue? Still no notifications for messages. That was the only reason I kept the official app on my phone basically...

I also don't get push notifications on Android for new messages. Cleared app data, re-logged in. Still no notifications. In Android settings notifs enabled for gc app.
