+1 For this. It is only recently that it the side search panel is always there, and it does not remember that when I hide it I want it hidden for good, unless I summon it.

Thanks all for the great responses and input. I thought that would be the general feeling, and I was just curious to see what other did or thought. I am now wiser in the geocaching world and will keep collecting them. Thanks again for all you great responses

Hi there! I have just started Geocaching in Iceland (almost at 100!) and love it! I have a question that may have already been asked and if so I apologize but I could not find anything about it. The question is this: When do you log the geocache as found? I ask because I only define it found when I can write my name in the logbook and have the container in my hand, but it seems that people log them found even if there is no container and they have just made it to the coordinates. I also like to take a picture of the container and logbook for proof of finding it, and it also gives others and the owner info that it can still be found. I have come across a few that have lots of found logs, but no images of the container, in fact the images that are logged are a few years old which would indicate a lost container. So when I get to the coordinates and search for a container and it is not there and I check the logs and people do say they found it and then I check the images and there is no new images it is strange. I know that sometimes there are well hidden and maybe I just can't find them, but if people do not log them as "not found" or "missing" the owners do not know there is anything wrong with the site. So I ask what is a found geocache? Just getting to the location? Finding and logging your name in the logbook? Thanks kev
