I've contacted the reviewer , for our local area , I've contacted Ground speak , direct , ? advised to post a thread on here , to share my thoughts . This is a bug bear of mine too ... I'd like to start by coming in from the side and not like a bull in a china shop , as we all see things differently , what upsets me may be fine to others and vice versa . so before you all start shooting me down in flames , we all have different priority and this in turn will affect how we perceive how the game should be played . I think the new Auto , system to mark TB's as missing , will mess things up in stead of making it better . I have drawn a blank , as to how this can be done , and by who . my thought are leaning towards a flag log , like , needs maintenance / needs archiving , just for TB's , If you visit a cache and there is a TB listed in the inventory , ( I for one ) will look for it , other don't or aren't interested in TB's so possible didn't even notice there was one listed , and my log will reflect this , ( listed TB not found in the cache today ) , and then if this sort of log had been left before my visit , I'd think its gone . time to post the ( TB / inventory / needs attention ) this would be sent to the C.O , the T.O , and the reviewer who covers the area which the cache is located in . hope fully the C.O , will do a maintenance visit , and if the TB is there , they can over ride the ( listed TB not found in the cache today ) same way they would if it was a needs maintenance log for a wet log , or damaged cache container . if the C.O's no longer playing the game , the reviewer , can do their bit , same as they do for a ( Temporary disabled cache ) or ( needs archiving cache ) they will send out a stock log , the inventory has been reported as being incorrect and needs to be verified as ( X,Y,Z - TB has been flagged as NOT being in the cache ) giving the C.O a time limit to go and ( do cache maintenance ) and report back if no response by the allotted time the said TB will be marked as missing / unknown location this is just my thought ,

No your right , but it will open the box which holds the corkscrew ,

not keen . there must be a better more transparent way .... more thinking .... needed

I have in the past bought communal proxy , but they went missing too so I have now opted to make my own copper copy tags , 1 set of metal stamps and a hand full of scrap off cut of copper pipe hay presto TB back in the game .

interesting , I'm trying to come up with the wards needed to start my own thread , re - TB Inventory's , this has given me food for thought , thank you

time to bring this thread back to the surface .... TRACKABLE need more respect

That's not how things work around here. lets just keep it up at the top , in a hope some one will read it and take it forward ,

has any one found a way of putting this back on our profiles I'm proud of my DNF's and I like the world to know why hid it ............. if you a honest cacher and you've not found a cache log it as so , and tell the world ,

again its some times the simple things that are over looked ........... I for one would like to see my blue faces on my map I'm proud of my DNF's and I tel the world through my profile seems that , thing like the new logging format get supported , WHY , what was wrong with the old way EDIT: grammar

Yes sir in a NUT SHELL , it has been suggested before we just need to keep bring the Idea to the surface and hopefully some one at ground speak will see it and think its a good Idea too

its back again , could this be give a little time as it would seem its liked by more and more , how do we get it in front of the right people to make it a reality

I'd like t bring this thread back to the surface I've just asked the same question , this thread was way down the list how can this idea be made reality ........... I know , not everyone likes trackables , but there is a lot of us who do we pay to play so why can't we have our say and one day someone will listen , and give tackable the respect they deserve

oh I missed this thread I listed a similar thread under the heading ( trackable page information your thoughts are welcome ) so I for one support this in simple terms - have the information on trackable pages YOU MOVED THIS TB ( date ) YOU DISCOVERED THIS TB ( date ) in stead of having the scroll through page after page of VISIT logs

okay , the VISIT log is not really the issue as others can use it if they like its there as an option and I don't want to start a war on cacher's who hold a TB for months and months and visit a TB to every cache I'd like to see some simple information for when you look at the trackables web page like YOU MOVED THIS TB ( date ) YOU DISCOVERED THIS TB ( date ) instead of having to scroll back through page after page of visit logs P.s I think the visit log should be for your own TB's only

I've been looking through past threads but I'm unable to see anything that remotely cover what I'm thinking . my frustration is being made worse due to the log type ( VISITING ) when TB/COIN's are held by the same cacher for weeks and weeks sometimes months , and then they log them as visiting each and every cache they find . so that's what what is frustrating me , I'm not against the practice but would like to ask is there a way of making the trackable page in some way just like when we find a cache or log a DNF is there a way each trackable page could show you if you have : MOVED ( placed in a cache ) DISCOVERED PICKED UP ( still in your inventory ) I'm aware not everyone like's or bothers to moves trackable , but for us who do I feel this would be of great benefit. sorry in advance if this has been asked before and if its in the wrong place please could it be forwarded to the best place for it to be read . hoping that I'm not the only one . I'll be watching for any comments for or against

I like what your thinking , and the way you have worded it ,,,, I posted a thread , which didn't go down well as I asked if an attribute could be add to the list for CHURCH MICROS ,,, and it soon became clear that in that format it wouldn't be the best way forward a " search " option would be better . just like you have suggested it did seem as because its a UK thought it would not make it to the page , but snow mobiles can stay ? ( we pay to play so deserve a say ) we don't all use GASK before any one say you can do search's there , some f use would like to use just the one site

The Newest Geocachers of the Month – A Geocache Series Creator Mr sadexploration

we must move away from the words ( CHURCH MICRO ) as a spastic attribute .. and think more along the line of , tag caches which form part of a series , so other around the world could use it if they like'd we don't all use all the attribute that GS have chosen for use ,, ie , snowmobile , scuba gear , Im not saying remove these just because I don't use them as I know others do . but it would be nice to have an attribute I'd use ? All Im asking is for an attribute that could be useful , and useful to other like me who like to find church micros ,, which is UK series and its now topping well over 5600 caches . so to round this off ,, please consider revamping the attributes available to us , giving thought to cacher in different parts of the world who have different interests and goals in the hobby of ours . ( Geocaching )

Im still finding it hard to under stand the problem with updating the Attribute list , to reflect EVERYONE/s needs and not just one side or aspect of the hobby . If we don't as no one will ever know what we'd like .

just popped back to see if there's been any new thoughts Im surprised there's been no response or reply from Ground speak them self's any one ,,,,,,

Oh , a trackable item ...

YES ... YES ... YES a " KEY WORD " search then you could add , what ever you like , for me it would be church micro ?

sorry I think the point of my question has been misted a little we don't all use all the attributes available to us all the time as for some we don' get snow ? so will not use or filter out snow mobile ? thats just one I can think of , my point is how do we get the attributes brought up to date with where caching is at today . what was good ten years ago may not be the same today , so this comes as an idea , which I for one thinks it would be of use to ( UK ) cachers and anyone that likes church's around the world so is there anyone out there that is thinking like me , that would like to see some form of church related attribute remembering we're all different , but would like to get the most out of what we've got (we pay to play the same as the rest of the world )

Not a good idea, the last thing we need is the attributes to get cluttered with all sorts of icons for different series. If we have an attribute for Church Micro what next? Attributes for Sidetracked? Motorway Mayhem? And that's before you get into the endless possibilities for series like it all over the world. So what do you think of Keystone's suggestion of expanding this to a generic churchyard/cemetery attribute? When people used to ask for a night cache attribute, my question was "what genre is next?" My suggestion was always to start a public shared bookmark list, so once you found your first night cache you'd have a list of others. And even if no one list has all the night caches, there would be enough overlap to keep accumulating lists and never run out of night caches. Now there is a Night cache attribute (flashlight required and recommended at night just didn't cut it), and IMO Groundspeak has opened the gates and now the burden lies with them to decide what genres and series deserve an attribute. this is good , were talking now cache owner would have to decide to add the desired attribute to there cache . and the more options would be good , as we all don't use ( scuba gear ) ( snow mobiles ) and possible never will if we don't ever step up and ask the question , an answer will never be given we all pay to play , so is it not far we hae a say
