  1. Yep, someone I know was "saving" a bunch of finds to log for days when they didn't actually find a cache. I deleted them from my Friends because of this. It was too aggravating to see the notices of their so-called finds on local caches long after I knew they had moved to another state.
  2. Thank you for stating this. I once posted a DNF and received an unwanted message telling exactly where the cache was. That took all the fun out of going back to try again.
  3. I was waiting for someone else to pick up on this-- The info provided shows that it was paid on 02 JUN 2025 and will renew on 02 JUN 2026.
  4. Beware of wandering into "agenda" territory.
  5. Well, about 2 1/2 months later - - - I still haven't even looked at my "treasures."
  6. This describes my encounters with law enforcement officers exactly. The police station one was at the State Highway Patrol station in Raton, NM.
  7. Yes, I saw the post title -- Mac. That was why I responded in the first place. I have never had any problem with this on my Mac (Safari). Sorry that I got off track by mentioning iPhone and iPad .
  8. Guessing that his was meant as a response to my question in the immediately preceding post, I still don''t have a problem on my Mac. Have you tried rebooting your device? What type of device are you using? iPhone? iPad? Mac computer?
  9. I came across one like this also--The cache was under a bridge and it was necessary to either 1) climb over a low (maybe 2 1/2 to 3 feet high) wall, or 2) walk to the end of the wall, go around it and then along a very narrow, slightly precarious track back to the bridge. I also mentioned this in my log and was basically told the same thing. I have since decided that the reviewers should be informed of these situations.
  10. Exactly what page are you referring to? I am using a Mac and don't see a problem.
  11. This is so easy! It just makes me want to scream when people leave the Found It log standing and then post a DNF log right after. To smokeeater 53: Thank you for asking!!
  12. I found one similar to that--no bird house though. Granted, it was in the desert in New Mexico.
  13. My feelings exactly. We'll see how it goes with the 'treasures."
  14. Upping the difficulty is not an acceptable solution. Bad coordinates are not one of the aspects of difficulty.
  15. or I can just switch to Chrome
  16. Still doesn't work in Safari.
  17. Yes he did - Very easy to look up: PROFILE INFORMATION: Hen & Jen: Hen is derived from 'Henly' who has been Geocaching for more years than he cares to remember and Jen met up with Hen a few years back and hence a new partnership and a new name starting from scratch. Hen has over 1000 caches in his other life, but of course this pays off now with what he calls 'his cachers eye' in finding new caches.
  18. "Always" and "from 2012" are not the same period of time.
  19. With the proliferation of micro caches, even if the people who have your trackable are active cachers, it can be a few months before they find caches large enough for a trackable. Check on the person's activity and if they are active I would wait at least 6 months before sending a very polite message. I have had trackable that people picked up from their very first find and then were never heard from again. And everything that qqnonrev is also valid.
  20. A lot of reasons have been given, but IMO the biggest problem is that there are so few caches nowadays that are big enough to hold even a small trackable. The old idea that it must be placed within 2 weeks just doesn't work anymore; often I go for months without finding any cache larger than a micro. (Also I don't go caching every weekend.). I still take any trackable that isn't really big, knowing that I may be holding on to it for months.
  21. Sometimes this is an issue for me as a finder. If we are away on a trip, my husband takes the pictures on his camera (yes, camera, not phone) and they don't get downloaded until we are home -- this can be as long as two weeks or even a few days more. I always explain this in my original log; I sometimes get a reminder from the CO that I haven't posted the photo, to which I respond with the date when I expect to be able to post the photo. I've never had a log deleted because of this.
  22. " souvenirs are much more of a motivator for long-term cachers than they are for new ones" As a long-term cacher (first find 21 years ago), I disagree with this statement. Just about the only souvenirs I am interested in are the states I have cached in and a few special days--I even missed a couple of International Geocaching Days.
  23. This is supposed to be the forum section for bug reporting. Do "they" look at it? I don't know.
  24. Admin Tools Edit Waypoints Final - make your change here (You have probably done all this, but there is another step that is not obvious) After making the change to the Final coordinates you have to click somewhere on the page before you go to "Save." You will briefly see the little green circle that indicates it is doing something--it is Saving. This is doing it on the web-site on a computer (yeah, I'm old-fashioned that way). If you're doing it on a phone or on an app, YMMV
