I'm not receiving any emails regarding new topics/postings. It's just the fact when browsing the forum that the category "Trackables" turns bold is alluring me to look for new content.

As much as I really like the funcionallity of this forum, it is missing an ignore function for threads. At least so far I haven't found it 

 

This is done on the individual Forum post and is specific to that topic. I use a laptop and haven't figured out where the setting is on a phone.

Not sure how to phrase my request...... so please take it just as a lone datapoint of one forum member.

I wish it would be possible to technically ignore certain threads like this and the undoubtly following threads regarding that geocoin missions.

But unfortunately it is not and since I'm interested in new postings and threads in the category "trackables" it's increasingly annoying that since months (not to say years) the far majority of postings here concerns only this repetitive missions and continiusly new and unread postings are generated by the participants of that missions.

I don't want to spoil your fun but this consecutive postings like above pulled finally my trigger 

 

For those who don't want to receive multiple emails, go to the green box on the top right that says FOLLOWING and click on it. You can adjust how often you receive emails.

[travel and bug]

roadmedic, I did a little stalking on your profile and there are no trackables listed as being in the caches you found today. There is a possibility that the bug you found isn't trackable. Or, it wasn't logged into the cache. You may post photos of both sides of the bug with the code covered in this thread and maybe someone would have info on the bug for you.

[travel and bug]

My first suggestion is to be sure the bug has 'trackable on geocaching.com' on it. If not, it isn't trackable on the site. Sometimes the alpha-numeric code has characters that can be mistaken for another... mostly 0 (zero) and O (letter) and 1(one) and L (letter). You may try different combinations to see if that is what's going on. Good luck, hope this helps

Only 9 to go...

 

 

I guess Santa is still working overtime. 

There is also one Halloween Mission that has gone on an extended adventure.

The ghosties and reindeer need to pay a visit to the postal services and get them to deliver these packages properly.

Monday night list of those who didn't receive or didn't say so.

 

Should your name(s) be taken off the list, just let me know.

 

I know many of you posted that their mission has been received but I always prefer to see the recipient write that they in fact did get their package

Thought I add a bit of color depending on the country our patient participants are from

 

 

USA CANADA PORTUGAL

 

I wonder if the last Halloween Mission or the remaining Joyeux Noel Missions will arrive at their destinations first???

Either way, Signal is getting plump while waiting

Was there a sticker from customs? maybe that's the problem.
I wait patiently.

I'm not sure, but doubt the package would have left the US at all without the sticker. Unless that is something it would get in your country. I honestly think there is something odd going on with the post office.

Getzie family, I've been in contact with your Mission Partner and your Mission is back in the US and being held up for some unknown reason. Your Partner is going to contact the post office again to try to figure out what is happening with the package. They and I are both very sorry this Mission hasn't gotten to you yet. I promise you will get a Halloween Mission eventually.

*Name received from Laval K-9: NOVEMBER 26, 2022
*Sent my gift: DECEMBER 15, 2022 (Sent later than I'd have liked. Hope the reindeer have had lots of carrots)

*My gift arrived at destination: According to tracking, it took TEN days for the package to leave my state in the US. Left the US and got to destination country in FOUR HOURS. It appears to have cleared customs there approx one hour ago today, but is not listed as out for delivery yet.   This is the reason I don't include candy or other treats.
*I received a gift: I missed my carrier and went to the post office to collect the package today, DECEMBER 29, 2022. It is a lovely card, a gorgeous personal geocoin, personal wooden coin, a Santa ornament, and a bell tag from Golfinhita. Thank you very much for the lovely gifts!!! 

 

And, thanks again to Santa Claire and Jake!!!

 

 

As of December 30, here's the latest info on my outgoing Mission. I don't know if it will make it before the New Year gets here, but, it should arrive in the next few days.

 

As of JANUARY 3, 2023--- according to tracking, the package was delivered today. Awaiting confirmation from recipient.

 

*My gift arrived at destination: the Mission finally arrived on JANUARY 5, 2023

MISSION COMPLETE.  Sending a huge Thank You to Claire for hosting again this year!!!

Thank you GeoCharmer81!  Love the little ammo can trackable.

 

You're welcome!!!  I'm happy to hear that the package finally made it. I was beginning to think the postal services hid it at the bottom of Santa's bag. And, that you like the ammo can.

I'm beginning to wonder if my Partner truly received their Mission. According to tracking, it arrived on January 3, 2023. But, they haven't posted that they got it. I'm worried that it may have been misdelivered.

I am not mad at anyone but I am very desappointed that so many missions didn't get to destination yet

 

Let's hope we will see a lot of them showing up before the week-end

 

I was surprised to see so many that weren't even sent before Christmas. Then, there are ones that have been held up at customs and ones that must have been on Santa's ground sled rather than his flying sleigh. Hoping to see the remaining Missions arrive soon.

I hope the reindeer get it to the recipient before the New Year.

Two in the morning and I decided to scroll through the first 2 pages of this post. I found 2 edited posts

 

 

PLEASE DON'T EDIT, WRITE A NEW POST.

 

I like reading your posts but I don't want to always go back to the first pages to see if there are any changes to your status

 

You can still copy your previous post and add the changes.

 

Thanks to all!!!

 

 

 

PLEASE help Santa Claire keep track of the Missions. I 'do' the Halloween Missions and don't have nearly as many people to keep track of.

It is a lot to take care of. We all know the postal services make things even more stressful.

Also, if you've taken on more than one Mission, please use the number she has assigned to each Mission.
