Hey, i was wondering if anyone has a smokey bear geocoin, one of the late 2007 ones... http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=177507 Please send an email if you have one for sale... Thanks

This is how I see it

Fixed it. The problem was that the forum was automatically set to only show threads active in the last thirty days... Oh well. Thanks, Condorito

Hi, I'm from Australia and am interested in seeing the aus forum. I know that there won't be much traffic there, but on the forums.geocaching.com page it says that there are 644 topics. However when I open it, there are only 5 topics there. Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated...

This person states there is a warning. I don't think he is stating there is a warning. First impression is that you "should" get to see it, as in it doesn't happen but it should. If that's not what he means, he is being sarcastic altogether. Anyway, consider the image. Do you really think that GS would use something remotely similar to that as a warning? No offence intended, but it happens to most people at some point(loss of information), and you just have to get over it. I think a good solution for you would be to write up your cache description on MS Word or some similar program, and then just paste it into the description field when it is ready....

Yes, you can use things like GSAK and I think mygeocachingprofile.com to get statistics on hidden caches.... But like the others have said, there is no way to locate a 'good' cache, as there would be way too many factors involved. Also, everyone has their own taste in what constitutes a great cache...

Sounds interesting, I might suggest it to the geocaching community near me, see if anyone wants to create one...

I visit tbs in my possession whenever I find a cache and the TB is with me. I'd not see a problem with that and don't see how it is useless. A TB is supposed to travel, and visits do that. If I grabbed tbs and dropped them in the next cache I find, they would never travel. However, if I keep it and visit it in caches, it might travel several thousand Km's over several months. I like my tbs to get dipped as it shows that they are still moving. I agree that c:geo auto visit is annoying, but I don't have a problem with visiting...

Then they could just turn that slider to off couldn't they?

i dont think that a percentage, even if there is one, would be accurate. most TBs that go missing aren't marked as such, and become Ghost TBs. For example, as hzoi said on this thread: that thread has some good insights and is trying to fix the problem of missing TBs not marked as such...

Hi, so what you want to do is not save the photos with the cache when you save it? If so, I think this is what you are looking for... If that isn't what you want, could you please clarify?

You could always use Parallels or VMware to be able to use GSAK on your Mac... I would as I use Mac, but I don't need it as my parents use a pc so I just have it there...

So happy flashmobbing, enjoy your souvenir and have fun - as we will on our side of the world Greets, RaNa2009 Thanks for that! i'm still trying to convince my Mum , but hopefully i'll make it. Thanks again Condorito

No need to worry this year! Sandy from the Podcacher Teams (Organizers of the WWFM Events) cleared that up in this post. Nice. BTW: if you happen to be in Germany on the 4th of May... why not try this WWFM Event: GC44DYM Greets, RaNa2009 And for completeness, here's the Bookmark which contains the complete list of "official" WWFM X events: Podcachers WWFM Bookmark I was having a look at the bookmark list. it doesn't have the WWFM event i'm thinking of going to. Perhaps this is because it is on the next day? Is there a way to let them know to add it? The event in question is this one :What Time? Any ideas?

my bad lol sorry... if they had put 'set' before 'on 11-11-11' i would have gotten it... Anyway, My bad... GC Poll : Should the geocaching community attempt to break the record again for 'accounts logging caches in a single day' on 11-11-11? I agree with your initial reading... On 11-11-11 is outside the single quotes, which makes that the day of the attempt to break the record mentioned inside the single quotes. Thus it is two years old. It is asking about another try to break the record mentioned on a specific day. Positioning of the single quotes is important here... but only to the meaning. Perhaps they meant to change the date yearly? Doug 7rxc That is what i thought... I don't feel so silly anymore

hahaha... made me smile

I would've come, but I won't be in Germany Thanks anyway, Condorito

I could predate the log, and that is what I thought was the most obvious reason. For statistical reasons though, I would prefer to put the correct date as the log date. Can one ask contact@geocaching.com to apply it and state the reason for it not being there already? Or can a lackey answer this? I can't go to an event on the Saturday, and even if I could, it wouldn't be at the same time as the FM in the US, so it kind of defeats the purpose of wwfm.

Mine is 1059km from home... I find heaps of caches when I travel(around every 6mo. ATM) and find only around 20 a month when I am at home...

I think you are totally ms-understanding what you think you are reading. While I think it's stupid, its not outdated. One of the few things Groundspeak has correctly stood by is that Geocaching is NOT a competition, though many cachers refuse to accept that. I would be more interested to see Groundspeak fix the site so it would actually be able to handle a new record number of accounts logging finds, without dragging the site down to a standstill. I suspect we won't be reading about that problem in Latitude 47 any time soon. Hey, i think you are misunderstanding what i am saying I'm saying that the poll refer to should we(future) on 11-11-11(2yrs ago). This poll is not relevant anymore. I'm not saying its a competition or anything like that... I am also interested in seeing feature updates. I was just mentioning that this is 2013 and i saw a poll on the blog relating to 2011... That is all. Hope its clearer now

So the time for WWFM X is 10:00 Saturday 4/4/13 in California... Right? I am thinking of attending a WWFM X event, but we're in Australia. There are events happening during the Australian day, but they are not in line with the US, so it kind of defeats the purpose of the WWFM. However, this event is organized to be held at the same time as the US, or 3:00AM local time 5/4/13(or 4/5/13 for you americans). The thing is, this will already be on the 5th, even though it is in line with the US times. Will we still get souvenir for attending the event? I think that we should get it, as we are doing it at the same time as the rest of the world is meant to be.... Any thoughts?

I was having a look at blog.geocaching.com today, and noticed that the polls are slightly outdated... Has anyone else noticed? Can GS update or remove them? Here's the one i saw today:

I have noticed this and think it would be great if we could see the disabled caches in the app...
