Do they have a website? The only reference I have seen is geogems.us but this doesn't exist nor does geogems.com

Is it possible to award a favorite point to a cache after writing and submitting a log?
I have tried to re-edit the log but there does not seem to be anything ther. It appears that you can only add a favorite point at the time of writing your initial log. Is this a hard fact or not?

Sense says it's time to stop watching this. It's turning into the usual he said she said.

I dunno...in many instances (where the link is sent to multiple people) it will become a Groundspeak-sanctioned FTF game.
I guess in many cases it will end up as code exchange game (in order to earn the icon cheaply which is certainly quite a temptation for cachers in areas where no lab caches have been available).
I think the idea is to send it to a friend, not much else. I will be sending one to thank Nomad for walking Darcy and Max whilst I've spent the last two weeks in hospital.

None of this waffle is helpful. Either there is a link or an app or there's not. If not make an announcement to kill all this speculation.

It's 6AM in Seattle. Let the guy's come in to work to flip the switch on lab caches. Besides they probably were up late last night at a Superbowl party.
Is that a drinking house, then maybe there is an excuse. Maybe the computers have been drinking as well.
-
Well, I'm ready. What is the next step? I don't see a Lab cache as an option?
Neither do I.
Seattle is still sleeping.
Big party after the Super Bowl?
I tried to find incuding the special "smartphone app" but still can't find it. Plenty of what it's about, but nothing to help create one

It would be helpful if you told us your location.
someone please adopt me I need someone to go cacheing with

Try Pete and Tracey from The Podcache Show. Do an o/l search or join their facebook group (The Podcache Show). They are based in Lincoln.

The size of a micro generally is regarded as a 35mm film canister.
Where you are located for someone to help?

That's all very well but I use windows and android. I use chrome as a browser. The problem is the same on both. I'm not sure but I don't think the android uses java.
A while back there was a Java update which may be at the root of the firewall problems. It sometimes causes a false trojan appearance which may be getting blocked by your routers. Whether it fixes the problem or not, you should do the following to speed up your browsers. The tools being disabled aren't needed!
For Internet Explorer
1) Left click Tools
2) Left click Manage add-ons
3) Locate the Oracle tab down the page
4) disable Java Plug-in SSV and Java Plug-in2 SSV
Close and restart the browser.
For Mozilla
1) Left clock Tools on the Menu bar or Firefox if the tool bar is hidden.
2) Left click Add-ons
3) Find Java Deployment Toolkit (whatever version numbers) and disable it
Close and restart the browser.
Hope this helps you out.

I haven't figured out how to add a local image (picture of failed map loading) but maps were still not working using Tesco' s free wifi service, today.

It can't soley be a router problem (if at all). I have the same problems at home, at a friend's, using Vodafone mobile and at a pub I go to for an event once a month.

I have a problem with maps as well. The maps freeze when I pan across. I just get blanks. I also get the maps but no caches on them, this is when selecting view larger map.
I am also finding the website either freezes and / or times out saying the web page may have moved.

I'm having the same problems. It started with the appearance of a corrupt database. This continued even though I restored it to a database written by another computer which didn't have the problems.
I deleted all of GSAK on this computer but then I found I couldn't access GSAK.net to download a clean version of GSAK.
I do hope it will be up and running soon.

I would like to know if there is a way to use a wild card for searching for caches.
At the moment it seems that if I create a pocket query, say Blind Side -*.
It seems I only get returns of caches named Blind Side - * not as I would expect Blind Side - The Post or Blind Side - Round the Back.
Normally if I do a search anywhere else using * would return anything that starts with Blind Side -
Is there another wild card I should be using?

I was wondering if there was going to be another competition.

I'm happy to give a hand and tips to any newbies in the Surrey area. Just drop me an e-mail.

Desperate for a calender cache as I had already DNF'd a couple in St. Albans I found this just at dusk on my way home

Hi BrazenRaisin,
I might have missed it but if I did I'm sorry. No one seems to have said that if you are struggling try emailing someone that has already found it, especially as you are a beginner. If another cacher wants to give you a hint all well and good. I struggled recently to find a new cache, it took several days for anyone to find it and that was only found (FTF) with hints from the cache owner. I had three attempts and after the CO archived it.
I did have it on my watchlist and I got a message (because I forgot to remove it from the watch list) the a previous finder had looked in passing and it was still there. I went out and found it but not without hints from that person. The CO is (I think) trying to get it un-archived.
As a CO myself, if the cache has already been found, I have no qualms about giving extra hints to any cacher.
Regards
Peter

I got a waterproof notepad on ebay by a company called Web-tex Military products.
This is what arrived http://www.web-tex.co.uk/accessories/web-t.../prod_1388.html
Now listed as http://www.web-tex.co.uk/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=1388

That will do it or look on the cache page,
below ADDITIONAL HINTS,
below FIND
and then the first option under FOR ONLINE MAPS.
which reads: Geocaching.com Google Map
The "Geocaching.com Google Map"s link in the "For On Line Maps" section (just above the logs on the Left Hand Side of the page) is working fine.
As Mrs B has stated, the area is not heavily saturated with caches, so you have to zoom out to see other caches. Wait whilst the map is repopulated [it's not instantaneous], 2 clicks out shows 2 other caches nearby.
Now if you have a look at a cache on the North Wales coast, and click on Geocaching.com Google Maps, the map will immediately display 20-50 caches
. A couple of levels out to where you get 3 or 4 caches. We get the too many to display message [the maximum is 500]

Many Thanks to everyone
