A good person to ask is the Cache Owner. If the puzzle is confusing to you, it is also confusing to others, and the CO needs to know this. Plus the CO often knows how to solve it.

I found one here: https://coord.info/GCAG6TQ (here's another one) The cache title includes "TBIES" and the description starts with the phrase "Tallest Building in each State". That must be what it is, but you could ask the Cache Owner if you need more info.

Perhaps the "Map Geocaches" button is attached to the "Add To List" button, so they are removed or appear together. I seem to remember certain conveniences that Premium Members pay to access being available after some site update a few years ago. Maybe this feature/bug is the result of streamlining the site. But I may be mis-remembering. But I'm pretty sure if TPTB wanted to have a "Map Geocaches" button in any particular place, it could be done.

Great find! The Browse Map (and then the Search Map) are available in the Play menu.

If they told you that, they would have told you wrong. Basic users are still allowed to utilize Browse and Search maps, just not the convenience of List functionality.

What luck! The site mentioned in the OP sells all of the materials mentioned so far, including plumber's tape. I've never tried to delve into specific O-ring material. I cross my fingers and hope to find an O-ring that fits at all, which may be more thin or fat than I might have hoped, and almost always seems a lot smaller than I'd hope. But it works until the O-ring vanishes (within a handful of finds), then I try to find another in my caching supplies. So the only parameter I've ever used as it applies to O-ring type, is having a lot of them on hand.

Well, that explains it. Basic: Premium:

Make a Grab log. This returns it to your Inventory. Here are some tips on returning a Trackable item to play:

Those are set up nicely for travel. Place them each into a cache that is dry inside, secure, full of nice stuff (hasn't historically been muggled), doesn't have an Inventory full of missing TBs, and that's a good start. Attach a clear and concise Mission statement on the most bulletproof card you can make. If you wish to keep them safe and unmuggled, the best plan is to keep them yourself. I've tried everything. And one of the worst situations is when some enthusiastic Geocacher grabs it and carries it around forever ("to keep it safe"), and cannot be convinced to return it to play. If that's gonna happen, might as well be the Trackable Owner who's holding it. You can release them with the understanding that they are now in the wind.

The instructions and the promo code are near the bottom of this page: https://geoguessr.geocaching.com/ The screen shots on that page are tiny, but I think they're basically what I'm getting. And at the bottom, I do have a "Redeem code" selection (I did not try to redeem a code). It's a "Google Account Payment method". Are you logged into an active Google Play account (able to make purchases)? If you dig around in the FAQ, there are steps to enter the code in IOS if it doesn't work in the App, basically do it through iTunes. You must have "the app installed", and must be on an IOS phone (in the case of redeeming it for IOS). What happens if you do a similar thing on Android with Google Play? You can try Redeem Code within the Play Store App. However, that screen looks only slightly from the screenshot above. If that doesn't work, there's a similar web link: https://play.google.com/store/games?device=windows&code

See this thread: https://forums.geocaching.com/GC/index.php?/topic/397820-maps-showing-instead-of-a-smile/ There seem to be several ways to cause a phantom (!) Draft Icon to appear on the web site map. I tested similar ideas using The Official App, and created icons where the map (!) persists after clearing the (!) in the App. However they are created, the result is the same: A (!) icon that won't clear on the web site Browse map, with no pending Drafts. Here's what was suggested in the other thread, which worked for me: Open a cache page, create a log, such as a Note Log, submit the log, then delete the log (or not). This clears the (!) icon. This may be a chore if there are a bunch of such (!) icons to clear.

I'm getting the same error. It was once much less complicated! The sequence I'm seeing is: In any List, attempt to Send To Garmin, and a window pops up that says: "Allow Garmin Express Your browser will ask you to open the application. Make sure to choose the option to launch Garmin Express." This is followed by no browser asking anything. Click OK, and the box closes, and is replaced by "An Error Occurred". At this point, Garmin Express has opened perfectly fine behind all other windows. And it has a box that says "Content Ready to Download". Click continue, and the requested GPX List file is placed onto the Garmin. Do the same with another List, go through that entire process again. It is working, except that there's more manual interactivity required. I don't like the additional weirdness. In your case, maybe you need to update and open Garmin Express and then try it. Or post the exact steps and errors, and your OS and Garmin Express version. Don't want to tell you how to do things, but the above is why I use Pocket Queries instead, including Lists as Pocket Queries. And if I'm "downloading" a List or PQ or a single cache, I'm "Downloading" it as a GPX, I NEVER use "Send To Garmin", because of this exact thing. It's chock full of unpleasant surprises. I'm not excited about fiddling with the bug of the day. I need to load a GPX and go. Just before I saw your post, I saved a couple of GPX files from the web site to my Oregon 750 without issue. I don't see the Garmin Express problems, because I deliberately bypass them.

Couple of my unpublished caches evaporated after 2 years of doing nothing with them. But I've sometimes re-tooled mine when I came up with an idea, and I submitted them and they were published.

I checked just now, and the first time the cache page I tested was opened, it was fine. On the first refresh, I saw the issue of no logs, as described above. Subsequent refreshes were OK. Brave Version 1.64.109 Chromium: 123.0.6312.58 (Official Build) (64-bit) Edition Windows 11 Home Version 23H2 Installed on ‎10/‎6/‎2022 OS build 22631.3296 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22687.1000.0

Did you include a photo for the reviewer, and did you state that it is in fact a magnet that people sign on the back? If not, then the reason other similar caches are published may be the same reason yours did... The notes for the reviewer were kinda vague about what it was. If it gets archived, you may use parts of existing stages as a new cache, and place a container as a Final. Even the busiest urban places can have a container, I've seen them.

The ones I've found are sheet magnets, material used in magnetic signs and these vent covers. I've made Geocaching things with sheet magnets. Mostly for my own car TBs and bumper stickers. As a cache, it's something that works best if it's rare, so that it's a surprise. I never attempted to make a cache out of that. The ones I've found are wet, dirty and full of signatures, with messy, faded logs. I don't make caches like that. But they were cool to find because they are unusual.

I never heard that Hasbro had a contest to add "geocache" to the official Scrabble dictionary. Or I ignored it. I appreciate how this video is neither the typical style synthetic voice nor 20 minutes long. So I was able to sit through it.

It's different on various phones. Seems to also change with Droid versions. I tried it on my Samsung S22 just now, here's what I did: Go to Settings. Scroll down to Apps, and tap Apps. Scroll to Geocaching and tap it. Tap Set as default. Deselect Open supported Links. Now the default web browser opens instead of the Geocaching App. If your phone can't perform these exact steps, poke around for a promising-looking Permission or other setting. The offending setting is "coord.info" (and "www.coord.info") set as a "supported web address" for the Geocaching App and to open it by default.

Which forest? Are you close enough to your intended hiding spot to check the cache frequently? There is no blanket policy. Those areas each have their own. And they change. Here's an example for the Chattahoochee and Oconee National Forest. To abide that policy, you'd need to be able to visit your cache regularly, and be very diligent. Just as important, all cache hunters must also treat this as a special place. Note the requirement to remove a Geocache after one year. Suppose that a finder arrives at day one on the following year. Do you see Geocachers always being very careful to not destroy property when they can't find a cache? If so, you have a special set of Geocachers. Which is good, because that's what you need to keep Geocaches being allowed at all. Here's a thread with some information, at least on the first part of the thread. Here's a Tread Lightly pamphlet that the Forest Service site refers to.

I see this one is marked Missing: https://coord.info/TB2XZAA As mentioned, if you Drop it in a cache and log the Drop, the coin will return to play. The simple steps to make a Drop log are here: https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=30&pgid=151

Those are Drafts. Go here, edit each Draft one at a time however you like, be sure to select "Found It" as the log type, and submit it. If you uploaded the geocaching_visits.txt file from the Garmin to the Geocaching.com web site, the logs are Drafts that show as exclamation points (!), not automatic Smilie icons. But there are other ways to do online logs. If you submitted the logs some other way, you may need to be more specific about the steps that caused the exclamation point icons. And give an example of a cache that is showing one. If you mean that you logged a find, and next uploaded a Note Draft which is overriding the Smilie icon (even after deleting the Note), I caused that to happen while testing this issue. I made a persistent (!) map icon instead of the previous Smilie icon. But I didn't do it the way you described, so I'm not sure it's the same thing.

Excellent, they look great! Zipper pulls are the best!

I still see the same thing as you do, specifically for "Your Logs (Last 30 Days)" Trackables.

I just now noticed the same issue, Error 500 when I click my icon to view my profile. I haven't tested other methods. This would be the old dashboard. Not sure if I can switch dashboards while the bug is in effect. I'm beginning to have trouble keeping track of site bugs, or document them so I can explain how to duplicate or mitigate them. Does it seem like the site is breaking in a variety of ways at an accelerated pace lately?

If it's protected inside a larger box, a plastic one may work pretty well like that. I've often found those plastic ammo boxes full of water and broken. Handle broken off, latch missing, hinge broken, sometimes all of that on one box. And also a hole chewed in the plastic, probably by an animal, not a cacher. I've been tempted by these in stores when they're on sale, but usually they're about the same price as a surplus military metal version which tends to last for years. But many cachers can't figure out how to open (or close) a metal ammo box. So that's another consideration.
