  1. Hidden in a fake dog poo. Hidden in a beer can. Hidden in a bottle cap. Hidden in dog poo bag. Our TB was placed in a sock on the beach in Australia. An old purse. A rubber duck. A wind up whale. The list goes on and on.

    A cache shouldn't spoil the environment for non-cachers. If the CO leaves an eyesore (e.g. aerosol can) in full view where previously there was none, it's a bad hide.

  2. How about couch potato for a theme, then we really won't have to leave the house, only take a picture of our computers whilst doing a German virtual cache...... :P:lol:

    Whilst you are wrong about everything else (now and in the past, future and in all parallel universes for all time ... trust me, I've done the calculations), I've got to admire this suggestion - well played :anibad:

  3. I have nothing against the winning photo; it's a good pic. Just a pity that your choice of rules meant that this month's competition was an archive-mining exercise for many. Never mind, Dave, setting the rules doesn't always work out as one might hope - better luck next time (if I've not frightened you off). Cheers.

  4. You should navigate to where your image is the only thing on the page.

    The address (URL) will be something like http://img.geocaching.com/...blah...jpg -- copy that URL.

     

    Then, to put the URL into a forum post, you type something like this:

    If the forum says, "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this board", then it's because it doesn't like the image type (the .jpg bit in this example). IIRC, it's happy with .jpg and .png but not .bmp. If I've got the wrong image type then I tend to load the image into Microsoft Paint and then "Save As ..." a different format.

  5. Edit: well it says "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this board". Any idea why not?!!

    An annoying inconsistency between the forum and the main site. I usually save as PNG - that works in both places.

     

    Edit: no, wait, your JPGs work just fine. Here they are:

    Perhaps you mistakenly tried to post an image link to your log entry instead?

  6. If you were aware of where this cache actually is you would know that since the cache placement there has been a problem with the sand that has drifted up, on to and over the location, the cache fulfilled ALL the guidelines when placed. You will also have noticed the notes I have placed on the cache page explaining why I disabled it. And no I will not be archiving the cache either.

    You were made aware of the need to relocate the cache on 16 July 2012. On 14 October 2012, you disabled the listing. Prompted twice by the reviewer to repair or replace it, you've done nothing. You may not need to archive the listing: you're on course to have it done for you.

  7. the cacher(s) known as "The Vulture Squadron"? And why have they taken upon themselves to police caches? ie they / she / he appear to be searching geocaching.com for caches with several dnfs or needs maintenance logs and then requesting the cache to be archived....I just dont get it.....

    Perhaps they despair of lazy COs. Have they seen Watchful yet, I wonder?

     

    Let's have a pact. I'll find some glue to repair my NM cache; you get a move on and deal with your backlog.
