[Completing drafts destroys the images saved in them]

Also having this exact problem, glad to see it's reported.

[Event Widget on Dashboard Bug?]

The nearby event widget shows 5 events and says click to view 2 more.  Clicking doesn't show 2 more...

 

This doesn't appear to match with the intent of that link.

 

 

 

[[Bug?] Wrong order of finds on the website]

Just a bump for this as it appears to still be borked based on my logging today.

[BUG: DNF drafts converting into founds]

I came here to see if there was talk about it.  My DNF drafts show up as finds.  As there is already a thread, I don't have to create a new one or try to recreate, lots of others see it also.

Are we talking about the broken containers with no indication that the CO is monitoring and maintaining?

 

 

I relatively recently removed one in this kind of condition, had sat there for over 2 years, in the elements after the ammo can was stolen.  I got chastised and berated by the CO.  It showed me that I should let the trash rot as COs would rather have that than someone help them out.

Potential solution: When a geocacher or a reviewer archive a cache, have a way to tell to the system that the cache is still in nature and must be salvaged. Then, when a volunteer geocacher salvages such a cache, have a way to notify the system that the cache has been salvaged.

 

Its funny, I was just mentioning this story to someone else recently, interesting I can bring it up here.  With an active owner, there is an answer, you use the logs/cache page.

 

Way back in 2005, we had a local who would let people know he was done with the cache.

052305 Time to retire. If the next cacher beats me to this, please remove and let me know, then pass on contents to other caches.

 

This left a good cache for people to find until it got picked up, you knew it was actually picked up so there was no cache pollution.  That was 2005 and since that CO left, I don't remember it ever being a thing after that.  I have one cache I'm thinking about getting rid of; maybe I should try it.

 

In the end, you are still getting COs consent to do it and you have to have both an active and caring cache owner to have it happen.

 

 

[Stolen trackable. How to report.]

But I'd go a step further and say it's not really a nice thing to do, dumping something that isn't even there into another's inventory,  sticking them with having to fix your issue.

If you're going to do that, then at least Drop it in the remaining cache that belongs to that Trackable's Owner...

 

Alternatively, if you have a friend who owns a cache, you can drop it in their cache and ask them to mark it missing.  I believe a cache owner can mark any TB in their cache missing.  This would at least get it out of your inventory and mark it as missing.

[how to stop nanos from being pushed too high up a sign post?]

I'd vote not putting them on signs...  this will keep them from getting pushed too far up!

[New Dashboard Not Updating Right?]

I accidentally marked a cache found.  I changed it to a DNF but my latest activity still shows it as a find.  (FWIW, the recently viewed section is correct).

 

 

 

[Issues With Cache Map]

For me, Browse map, nothing clickable.  Search map is working fine.

[Does the Mystery at the Museum "Penalize" Geocachers?]

By the use of the word as implied by ODragon, any geocacher who can't get a cache on an island because they don't have a boat is being penalized by the cache owner!  

 

I feel like I'm being pulled into a conversation that I havent participated in...  I believe you mean someone else.

So the short story is that your wife was one of the lucky users in first wave of the rollout!

 

Thank you for the explanation.  Over in the iWorld, my old ipad, that works great still, is starting to hit end of life, no more os updates and more and more apps won't work on it because of that.

 

I was worried that gc app might be following on android.  I'm glad to hear it is just the way it rolls out.

So to recap:

You say your app is currently at v8.0.3, and while re-logging in didn't solve missing MATM content, deleting and reinstalling v8.0.3 did.  Your wife's app is at 8.1.0 - and is hers working fine? And for some reason your phone isn't able to update to 8.1.0?

 

Recap is perfect.  I guess we should go back to @darrylthomas00, try uninstalling and reinstalling and see if that helps.

 

It's no big deal, I was more speaking aloud.  Her phone is a lot newer so that's probably the issue.  We are in the android forum so we're definitely not on the iOS!  ?

Are you using the same account just on different devices?  If it's the same account then the stats should be the same. (and if not, maybe report it; others have occasionally mentioned bugs in the clue counts iirc)

 

If you have different accounts then the stats may be different if your cache find log history since July 11th isn't identical.

 

You're misunderstanding.  I'm wondering why and how my wife has 8.1.0 of the app installed and I can only find 8.0.3 in the app store.

If the install was the same version, maybe it was just a matter of logging out and back in?

 

I tried that first to no avail. 

 

I'm more interested that mine isn't as updated as my wife's and I wonder why that is.  Probably an older os.  Just hope it becomes compatible.

[Mystery at the Museum problems]

I also had this problem.  I'm was running 8.0.3 and nothing museum related showing up in the filter page, profile or on cache listing.  I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling and even though they were both 8.0.3 it showed up after I did that.

 

Edit:  Oddly my wife's phone is at 8.1.0 but I can't find or for an upgrade to that...

[Release Notes (Website only, Tagging Friends) - June 20, 2017]

Yea, it gives only 10 items in the list, I was puzzled as well since I did not see my friend there. But I continued typing his nickname and the list kept narrowing down until there was only his name.

I saw some of this myself. The first time I used it, I typed @, got a list of ten. I had to type 4 letters to get the person I was looking for to show up. The second time I did it, I only had to type their first letter to show up.

 

The feature is a neat idea. Can you implement the ordering of the list when you type @ like the lists feature? IE, the one you chose most recently automagically appears at the top of your list?

[Non-trademarked alternatives for "muggle"]

We refer to them as "Squirrels". You can yell it and sound a lot less weird than yelling muggle.

[Placement ban due to Divisiveness?]

Can we nominate people for this list? We have a couple of people with hundreds of crappy and/or unmaintained caches.

[What is a reasonable time to review a new Event listing?]

In other words, the rules themselves seem to have become more important than the problems being solved.

Depends on the problem. I think they are solving a lot of the consistency problem of what was published in one place wouldn't be in another.

[Favorite Photos Taken While Geocaching]

DNFed the cache but at least I got a good picture!

 

[CANCELLED BY OWNER - event]

We had a cache owner show up an hour late to his event and by that time everyone had left.

 

8 of us logged our attended logs.

[For what non-geocaching purposes did you use geocaching?]

There is an archived virtual that I use at the cheapest farm stand + petting zoo to visit every time I am in that area.

[Feedback: Fizzy Challenge Cutoff Date]

My preference would also be 4 but I do understand your reluctance to do that. And I do agree that ratings are not screwy and much of it probably has to do with challenges.

 

I think 3 would work, like you, I assume most of the poorly rated caches were short lived so one or two people could get their smile and are gone. By adding more years to the challenge, you are helping to fill in the caches that have been archived over time.

 

Making up numbers here...

In 09/2007, lets say there were 50 4.5/4.5 in the US. Now, there are many many less due to archival. From my home coords, there are now only 22 in a 440 mile radius. If you move the date to 09/2010, that number goes up to 66 in 485 miles. This gives a little bit more options when it comes to caches to find while at the same time not having so many of the mis-rated caches.

 

In another 5 years, maybe you have to extend it again.

 

TLDR: look at a couple of what you think are the hard T/D combos and see how many there are now and what it will be if you add 3 years and go from there.

[Garmin GPSmap 60Cx]

Has anyone else had a similar problem and found a way around it?

Mine sounds like yours although, mine only had a stroke and the left buttons no longer work. The right ones still do and it is an intermittent problem (bad enough that I can't use it as the only GPSr anymore). I'll try a factory reset although, I doubt that will fix it, I think it's a physical problem.

 

I did pick a nice used one online to replace it though. I do have an Oregon that is just a glorified PDA (and WIG runner), the 60 CSX is still the best of the best as far as I'm concerned.

 

Good luck.
