There's video of the backup power supply

Agreed. I use other sites where submission forms are randomised every time you use them. If nothing else it forces people to read what they are actually doing and not just skimming through ticking the same boxes time and again....

Yes, I've been getting the same thing.

I believe they already have the option - costs $30, and comes with free PQs, the off-topic forum, and PMO caches

Geocaching has been around for over 10 years now, and it's probably a fair assumption that glass containers have been used on occasion for that long as well. Depending on the location and method of hiding, a glass geocache container should be no more or less dangerous than a glass container in your kitchen or local shop. This is reflected in that there is no mention - either for or against - the use of glass containers in the Groundspeak guidelines, the knowledge books, the GAGB guidelines, or the code of conduct. If there had been a problem with glass containers (other than lapses of common sense) I'd have expected to see a mention in at least one of these.....

Yes. Had a few of these now, and mine were genuine But as has been pointed out - it could be faked Open it and find out.....

I found a cache in a glass jar a few years ago, and thought it was a bit silly - but there's nothing in either the GS or GAGB guidelines to say you shouldn't use a glass container....

Should be a link to it at the top of this page above your latest logs

It's only happened to me a couple of times - but after getting rebuked by the CO for mentioning it the first time, the second time I rehid it somewhere off the wall but nearby, made a note of the new co-ords (which hadn't changed enough to matter) in my log - and posted a NA on it to get some reviewer attention. Ironically both times the caches were in reasonably heavy, rocky, woodland with dozens of hiding spots around.......

Premium members can. We get a favourite point for every 10 finds, and can dish them out to caches we've enjoyed finding for whatever reason.

Bison seem to make some fairly good ones

Have you asked the reviewer?

blah blah blah :laughing:

Changing the rating will alter the rating on finders stats. As it is, none of the logs mention it being under-rated. In fact the FTF log confirms that he thinks it's correct. So why do you feel the need to alter it now?? It's just as likely that people aren't bothering to go through the effort of completing a tricky puzzle for what is at the end of the day a 1 terrain film pot!

I had a similar thing happen to me this weekend - ran my usual GSAK macro, but when I checked, half the caches were missing. This was to an Oregon 550, loaded to internal memory using the same export macro I've been using for a couple of years. The missing caches were all in the same area. The Oregon had booted OK, and I'd deleted the existing gpx and poi files before loading - all exactly as usual. When I reran the macro the caches were there, so no idea why they hadn't appeared the first time around???

Perhaps they'd expect to colour in the UK for finding a cache on Bermuda, too? :laughing:

In the UK, a public footpath gives the public the right to walk to cross property - but it still remains the property of the landowner. So in this case it wouldn't matter if it were just off the path in a field - or smack bang in the middle of the path. The landowner remains the same.

Possibly because if you could favourite every cache you found, any cache that you didn't favourite you might as well be saying straight out that you didn't like. At the moment favourite points should, if you so wish, go only to your top 10% of finds.... so anybody not getting a point could assume they'd just missed out While this might be fine with some of us, some cache owners might get the hump and take it (rightly) as a negative point. And if you could favourite every cache you found, favourite points would just end up reflecting PM finds, and as Syndrome so succinctly put it, "When everybody's special, nobody will be"

I recently had an email from a new cacher with a name very similar to my own (kehotee, not keehotee) claiming a find on one of my earthcaches. I didn't know what was behind it, and after a few hours they'd changed the name on the account so I thought nothing more of it. However, at the weekend I met a friend who'd recently logged that earthcache - and he'd had an email, supposedly from me, saying that I'd misplaced his answers email, and could he reply to the email confirming his answers.... if he hadn't known me personally there'd have been almost nothing to tell him this wasn't a genuine email from me asking for confirmation of the answers. I've no idea if others had been emailed - and it was only the fact that one of the recipients was a friend that I even found out about it. So look out - if you do get an email asking for confirmation of answers - or co-ords for a puzzle - check who sent you the email...and if I were you, only reply through the account link on the cache page

So - as there's no publicly owned land in the UK - you reckon every cache around Derby's got landowner permission, do you? :laughing:

Firstly, although they're on public footpaths - you did get the landowner's permission for them, didn't you? As has been said so often before, on a public footpath in England and Wales you only have the right to "pass and repass" on foot. Nothing else - including hiding tupperware. And the vast majority of public footpaths (in England at least) are on private property. It's highly likely that the farmer doing the complaining also owns the land the caches are placed on. Have you checked this before you have a go at him?

Fringe.

It is with GSAK

No - if I didn't find the cache, I'd DNF it. If I found a pile of bits I'd put a NM on it too. If I could see it, but not get to it for whatever reason, I may or may not DNF it - it would depend on the circumstances. If I could see it, I didn't "not" find it - but wouldn't log it as a find. And I'd rather DNF than PAF - but I'm just weird that way
