@spstanley, are you still handling the iOS player app? PKCE is covered in the API documentation.
I believe the current iOS Wherigo app was built by @MrCachly, and sold (?) to Groundspeak. (It’s listed in the App Store by Groundspeak, Inc.) Not sure which of them is responsible for maintenance. -

When there were only ~5000 of these and not showing up on maps, the icon color was not a problem. In 2025 there will be a lot more on the map.
While I sympathize with the accessibility concern, I think you have your cache types mixed up. I believe that the "5000" number you are thinking probably comes from the Lost & Found Events, which were re-branded as Community Celebration Events and awarded to everyone* in 2020. They will be doing this again in 2025. Those appear in red. The Block Party type is green, but I doubt there will be very many since the criteria for the type requires at minimum Mega status. Only six have been published so far.

I believe that this is what the "Claim this solution" button is for.

The geofence is turned off when in test mode. See the 7th slide on the builder guide.
No, links are not clickable.

But the thing that annoys me most is that they don't even show the checker attribute on the app! I often do simple puzzles on my phone and if I want to see to the checker, I have to open the website instead of just checking attributes. Oh well.
...no?
It would be nice if the app would add a line to the description if the checker was enabled, though. Cachly does it well.

Do the same rules apply for a CCE event?
I think that this is all that has been said:
On 2/20/2024 at 12:25 PM, Geocaching HQ said:Those who receive a Community Celebration Event must host it between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025. Events must be a minimum of two hours, and cannot overlap with events associated with a Mega-Event, Giga-Event, or Block Party.

The slightly more technical answer is: you have to be able to offer a Project-GC challenge checker for your challenge, and the checker scripting system does not provide data on DNF logs.

The previous sentence is: "To avoid confusion or suspicion if your cache is found by a non-geocacher, follow these tips where possible."
Sometimes a transparent container is not possible.

A search of the forums reveals... that you asked this same question two years ago:
I assume worrellsquirrel's answer still applies.

So by reasoning, if an owner cannot find and log their own cache, why isn't that an equal substitute? When I don't put in the hider's geonick in Not Found By, all their hides do appear, but when I put in their geonick in Not Found By, a significant majority, but not all, are eliminated from the search. The photo above shows a search result where I inserted the CO's name in the Not Found By. 23 of their hides were returned in the search, as compared to over 100 when their name was not inserted in the Not Found By. I'm trying to figure out why things work one way and not another way.
You put two names in "Not found by":
The caches appearing in the search results will be only those which neither of those players have found. Read it as: "Not found by X and not found by Y".

Can a Basic member adopt a cache set to PMO or would that have to be disabled before adoption?
Yes, a Basic member can.
The cache will keep its original PMO status.

is there a map filter on geocaching or a partner application that lets you see only unfound geocaches?
Yes, Cachly has an FTF indicator & filter option in lists.

The GC owner registers that codeword in the geocache database. Naturally, the code word is only visible to the GC owner.

Adventure Labs?

Or, have some Facebook group tell you the code and then just log it from your couch.

Seems strange that an active cacher who met the requirements and applied each time would be passed over 4 consecutive times.
Napkin math, but: if 50,000 people met the criteria each time, and they selected only 4,000, then the probability of not winning all four times under a perfectly fair draw is (1 - 4/50)^4 = 71%. The true probability would be higher in the United States, since they biased selection by region.

That line can be modified by the (current) cache owner, by clicking "Edit" under "Admin Tools" and editing the "Placed by" field.
For instance, if it is changed to "XXX (adopted by YYY)", the line will read "A cache by XXX (adopted by YYY)".
