In an attempt to add some new features you have taken away some of the features I find most useful. I can no longer search by State and see all the newest caches. I also used the State search to see all upcoming Events. Now I can't find all the events in my State. Bring back the old search capability and make the new stuff an additional option. It has made everything much worse for me. I don't like it at all!
The types of searches you mention are possible if you omit an origin and instead add a filter for the region you want to search on. For example, use this query for the newest caches in Massachusetts:
https://www.geocaching.com/play/search?r=22&sort=PlaceDate&asc=False
Strange this query does not produce anything for me.
I think I might know why. It's due to this little blurb in the newsletter I just received:
Add more features like filters and sorting in the new search by upgrading to Geocaching Premium.If I'm reading that correctly, the new search is effectively neutered for basic members. The link above uses both filters and sorting, and you're now a basic member, so that's probably why it doesn't work.
Boy, without the filters, the new search in its current state is next to useless for basic members (all they can do is a 30 mile/50 km radius search for all caches around a point). I had no idea they were going to do that.
Edit: Whoops, cross-posted.
I've been a premium member for more than a decade.

When I click on your link it works. When I try to run it myself it reverts to all caches closest to my home location and not just newest, but all out there. Why?

It would be really useful to have a filter box to click on that would give you oldest or newest in a State or Region.

Sorry, doesn't seem to work for me. Seems no matter what I do it searches from my home origin for caches.

OK, I can see how to do that. Not intuitive, but it works. How about if I want to find the oldest caches in a state? Before I just went back to the last page in the State and paged forward until I found what I wanted. I don't see anyway to do that now.

App logs not showing on website as Exclamation Point

Yep, I logged a cache on 1/1/20 with the Cachly app on my phone. It shows as a smiley on the app, but still today it shows as an exclamation point on the geocaching maps on geocaching.com, even though it shows as a smiley on the cache page. It also comes through as found when I do a My Finds PQ so it seems only the geocaching map is the problem. I also can't edit or delete my log for this cache so that I could try relogging it. Not the only problem recently with geocaching.com.
