  1. Hmm, my experience was different I think - after I guessed the first Steetview location more or less correctly on my first try, the dogtag appeared at the top left of the following page (the page that said my answer was correct ) - then when I moused over the dogtag, a Trackable code was revealed - when I went to that Trackable page & logged it as Discovered, I received the souvenir right away. I decided to continue playing until I guessed 10 locations correctly, then another different Trackable code was revealed at the final page, and I logged that 2nd Trackable as Discovered too. But I didn’t need to guess 10 locations to receive the souvenir, I already had received it . (While continuing play , each time I got a correct/close enough location, the dogtag appeared at the top left, and each time it was the same (first )Trackable. I played on a laptop so maybe that is the difference? (I actually didn’t pay much attention to the subscription award notice, since I don’t need it)
  2. I decided to continue to play till I got 10 correct locations, and got the 2nd Trackable code..I found it more interesting to play longer!
  3. Well that was exciting (not).. Launched the Geoguessr site.. Saw the Streetview .. Clicked on the world map for my guess.. My first guess was correct.. Moused over the dogtag at the upper left for the trackable code.. Went to the trackable page & Discovered the trackable.. Got the souvenir. Not much of a game! Took less than one minute total..
  4. I don’t see a leaderboard icon on my profile on the app..
  5. Not always the case…I have done several night caches in the daytime by using geosenses & powers of deduction I do agree though with a separate cache type (and also for challenges)
  6. A previous discussion of this : https://forums.geocaching.com/GC/index.php?/topic/361444-iphone-is-not-showing-many-caches-found-on-geocachingcom-website-why/
  7. I don’t use C***ly but is there any chance that a cache is listed on that app but not on the Geocaching app?
  8. here's a Challenge Checker: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/79875 (courtesy of Hugh from the other Wheel of Challenges thread)
  9. As kunarion said, I checked your cache listing, it seems that you did not log your coin as being dropped into your own cache…it still shows as being in your inventory. There are a couple of online logs from recent finders that mention swapping TBs so one of them has your coin. These are well-respected cachers so I am sure your coin is in good hands. They will need to ‘grab’ it so that it goes into their own inventory & then they can move it along.
  10. Ah, welcome to the frustrations of being a Trackable Owner! The very first trackable I released was picked up immediately & then never moved along (i.e. kidnapped) The cacher never responded to my multiple messages asking him about it. Some good advice I received on this forum was that the way to not get too attached to one trackable was to release more trackables! Since then I have experienced every other trackable situation as well i.e. stolen, lost, moved along as intended...however I am not so attached to them anymore & am more philosophical about them going missing.
  11. “Current Streak 28 consecutive days with finds since 01/07/2023” The start date for the souvenir streak is July 3, so Sunday will be the earliest date that you can fulfill the challenge.
  12. Well that’s annoying …sometimes ALs count the same as regular caches , sometimes not…wish there was consistency ☹️
  13. Just did an AL in a new province in Canada, but did not get a new province souvenir - should I have got one? Is there just a delay maybe? (It is my only cache in this province so far)
  14. Where did this Leaderboard Scoring chart come from? ? edit: NM, I found it…weird!
  15. Post a Needs Archived log & in due course the cache will be archived & you can place your own there.
  16. Ok that’s weird , I just tried again and now I have the options!! The app was acting up for me yesterday… I will put it back in circulation, thanks for your help.
  17. Thanks for your reply, but When I enter the tracking code I don’t get the option to Retrieve, only Write Note. The trackable is TB7K1V2 but when I search for it via the website I get ‘No results found’.. By the way the cache I found it in, was not its last known location (I guess that is obvious)
  18. Thanks for your reply , but the number is correct, I will try messaging the owner. Do they need to ‘unlock’ it? (So that I can retrieve it)
  19. There is probably a thread on this topic somewhere already… but here is my problem: I just found a trackable that was marked as missing , 5 years ago ( by a cacher who is not the TBO) I can see this info on the app when I enter the tracking code in the search. (I can see the last 5 or so logs for the trackable ) When I enter the tracking code on the app to try to log it (I.e. write note or retrieve)I get ‘tracking code invalid’ When I search via the website here https://www.geocaching.com/track/ I get ‘no results found’ What is my next step?
  20. Geocaching Toolbox does it all! https://www.geocachingtoolbox.com
  21. Love it! Anyone know if these shirts are available for purchase somewhere?
