    That's odd, caches in Texas...   Was gonna say almost a neighbor, somewhere around Stroudsburg.  :)

    We are in Texas but started caching near Allentown.

    Hi everyone. I am from southeastern Pennsylvania and just starting up on Geocaching. My two young kids (aged 7 and 8) introduced me to this hobby after they got a new handheld GPS. Happy to find this forum of fellow cachers.

    Welcome!

    We started somewhere around Allentown, PA.

    Hi everyone! I'm Texasbrat, I've been caching since 2015, however I am just now discovering the geotours and checking out the website.  I look forward to meeting you out on the hunt!

    Howdy!

    When trying to view a photo on a log, this error message has been appearing fairly frequently for the last few weeks and what started out as a minor inconvenience has now become a very annoying feature. 

     

    It started to appear intermittently some weeks ago but over the last fortnight, has appeared every time I try to view a photo, direct from a log entry. There seems to be nothing wrong with the photos themselves as it is still possible to view the item by going the long way round through 'view gallery'. but it's a lengthier option and more time-consuming.  It's clearly an error message so needs to be fixed, now, I think. 

    I'm using Chrome and Windows 10.

    It works fine for me, but I think I have seen this a few times.

     

    I'm also using Chrome and Windows 10.

    1.  Virtual Caches were brought back, in 2017 with the introduction of Virtual Rewards.  Since then, more than 5,800 new Virtual Caches have been published.  The "limited release" has worked quite well to overcome the many issues which led to the end of Virtual Caches many years ago.

    2.  Earthcaches are a success because they have an official sponsor that helps greatly in setting and enforcing the rules for that cache type - the Geological Society of America.  Do you know of an internationally recognized historical organization that could support historycaches?  If so, please put them in touch with Geocaching HQ!

    3.  Webcams are a category at Waymarking.com.  For many reasons, they don't do well as geocaches.  I don't expect to see them come back, but you never know.

    I think that virtual rewards are great but I hope to see more in the future.

     

     I will work on the idea of historycaches. 

     

    Thanks for the number of virtual reward caches I didn't know that there  were that many.

    If you place coins inside this cache, I will add the amount of coins you added into the cache and also some vouchers. This deal will expire on the 12th of May so be quick!!

     
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

     

    I don't think that this is allowed.

    Hi! I'm tom98028 or Thomas. I am somewhat new here but am enjoying this hobby! I currently live in Washington State where there are plenty of caches to discover.

    Welcome!

    But many accounts are for a couple, or even some for a whole family. 

    That is true. This is an account like that. But some of those inactive accounts are also like that.

    I just found this site today and it seems really interesting...is it still working? Do ppl still do this...because in my area the last log was last year. 

    Have the same problem here! So few waymarkers I have only found a few, but there are a few I would like to find just haven't done them yet. Also wish you could do them through geocaching.com.

  10. I have hidden 12, 1 now archived (it was archived because one of the guys that lives near it didn't like the cache so he made his own account so he could find them and contacted HQ and claimed it was his land so it he could have it archived, I have heard he also did it to a few other caches), and 2 unpublished (if you count those caches I have 14). One of them is an earth cache the others are all traditional caches.

    Is it possible for the 'APP' people to look at adding a pop up window for all new cachers so that when they go to log a cache it reads 
    "Have you signed the physical logsheet/book - you must do this prior to logging this cache as found online - Yes/No"
     

    Have this pop up for the first 20 or 50 cache finds until they finally get the message - they would not be able to continue to log unless they clicked 'Yes'

     

    The number of times I have questioned finders of my caches and more often than not, new cachers who have never been on the website so just using the app are not aware of the requirement to sign. I have even had newbies telling me 'Yea didn't sign them - We’ll claim them nonetheless"   !!!
    Knowing that they are aware of this requirement as this pops up every time they go to log a cache - would make it so much easier for COs to explain why and not have to justify any actions taken.

    Not a bad idea.

     

    I haven't had many(or any that I know of) problems with this on my caches, some of my caches have more logs in the logbook than online.
