Sodor.

I'll start with something simple, like the filters on the PQ itself. Please accept my apologies if it seems too obvious, but have you made sure that the "That (And) I haven't found" box is ticked on your PQ?

At this point someone's going to have to remind me of the rules... I know there's no Googling, but how many goes am I allowed on each question? Do I have to wait until someone else has had a go before I chip in again (if more than one try is allowed)?

Titan?

tyzack4 gets a Ding AND kudos for a correct spelling. Over to you.

Thanks Marty. Topical, now. What is the two word name of the groundhog used in America (specifically today), to predict the weather for the rest of the winter. Extra geocaching kudos to anyone who can spell the first part of his name correctly, although I'm not going to go all strict on you to insist on correct spelling for a ding!

(Feeling my age by this point) "Crackerjack"

Ding! All yours, Marty.

Thinking about Oxford... The word "Oxbridge" is a combination of the words, "Oxford" and "Cambridge" and refers to anyone who attended either university of the sort of culture which surrounds such institutions. What is the name for this type of word, which is a combination of two other words. Other examples include "Chillax" (chill and relax) or "Brexit" (Britain and exit).

I don't know the city personally, but I seem to remember a reference from an Inspector Morse novel so my guess is Jericho,

Ding! Over to you, Sharpeset.

Cheers! The fictional Ankh Morpork takes part of its name from the River Ankh which runs through the city... so What was the historical name of the real-life area of land, situated between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers; a translation for which can mean literally "between two rivers".

Ankh Morpork

That’s a ding to grimpil

Not Moby Dick. The original more famous novel doesn't (as far as I recall) include much, if any, reference to the sea. Wide Sargasso Sea is a backstory for one of the characters... which is where the 'sea' bit comes in to it.

Not Kidnapped.

Wide Sargasso Sea was a prequel for which famous novel?

The Sea of Tranquillity?

I'm no coding whizz, but I'm hoping there might be someone on here, who is, who would be able to create a browser add-on for the geocaching pages, (not unlike the incredibly useful Geocaching Map Enhancements add-on by jri). I'd love it if my SOLVED AND FOUND adjusted puzzle cache icons, continued to appear in the location of the actual hide - as they did a couple of years ago before a Groundspeak change. Groundspeak don't seem inclined to continue to allow us to view this incredibly useful information and it's literally just occurred to me that perhaps there's a coding genius and geocaching fan on here, who could knock something up, which would d the job. I realise that I seem to be in the minority in not being too bothered about geo-art looking correct, once I've found the caches, so I don't expect Groundspeak will do it for us. We have a lot of puzzles in my neck of the woods, and I like solving them, so have found all of them within a 15 mile radius over the last 10 years of playing the game - so this is NOT about trying to cheat to find out where they are. This is about wanting to place my own hides and needing to see at a glance (and without racking my not-brilliant memory for every single puzzle hide I've ever found), which are the spots which are already taken (as I used to be able to). In conjunction with the GME add-on, I can then also identify all the saturation zones in my locale - and avoid wasting both my time and the reviewer's time when I try to hide something too close to something else. Is this something anyone would be able to do? How tricky would it be?

This is a long shot... I'm trying to trace the owner of an unactivated TB. I picked it up yesterday from an event in the Southern Region. Chatting with some local chums, we think it's a case of a (perhaps newby) cacher launching it but not realising it needs to be activated first. Tracking down the cacher who brought it to the gathering, the passage of time (and the depths of a rucksack) mean we don't know which cache it was originally found in. Nor can we tell precisely which part of the country it may have been launched in (or when it was released). It MIGHT have been somewhere in the Milton Keynes area sometime last year. It's an ordinary aluminium tag with an elasticated, white-bead, bracelet attached (see photo). Please feel free to share/copy this photo/post in any other geocaching forum. Contact me via this thread, or via my geocaching profile.

Ever since the update which allowed us to see solved puzzles with a new icon, in their actual location on an ordinary map when unfound, reverting to the published location when found, the ability to see them in their actual location on a pocket query (when also found) has been removed. This was a very useful feature in the past as when I wanted to set my own cache in a heavily populated area, I could generate a pocket query and see where all the puzzles caches I'd found actually were on a large screen. This enabled me to avoid them by at least 529ft. Now, when I generate a pocket query for this area, all the puzzles have reverted to their published locations and I'm forced to use the tiny map on my GPSr (while sat in front of my PC) to view these caches where they actually are. Please reinstate the ability to see an adjusted cache in its actual location on a pocket query once its been found, so that I can find a space to hide my own cache easily as I did before.

Please add me to the list of COs who think this is a backward step and need to be able to adjust the co-ords of my own caches. I really do NEED to see where they are on a map and am exceedingly dismayed at having this facility removed.

You may have cause to ask Groundspeak HQ to look in to this for you but don't assume they will automatically side with you if you don't have proof (say a photo of your signature on the log). Don't contact a reviewer, reviewers don't deal in disputes between geocachers. The rules say that to claim a find you must have signed the log. No other variables affect that claim regardless of who may or may not have helped you to find it. Check out this page which deals with what to do if your log has been incorrectly deleted. http://support.Groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=204 Once you have followed the steps on this page, you can contact Groundspeak to look in to the matter on your behalf. Be prepared to give details of the GC codes (or specific log codes) and dates of the deleted logs. If you have photographic evidence of any of your finds, include these too. This is the contact page to use: http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=request

Thank you - I'll try that.
