[Received A.P.E. Cache Souvenir instead of Easy Streak Star Souvenir]

I’m experiencing an issue as well, but it’s different. I re-started my streak yesterday. It shows I have a streak of two days, but no souvenir. Is it because my second day was an AL? I’m going to grab another trad just to be sure. 

Original Blog post (20-Mar-2023) says "finding Adventure Locations will count toward earning souvenirs for the campaign".

[BUG: Missing smiley on bookmark list icons]

Steps to reproduce this issue:

* Create a BM list and add some caches you have already found.

*  Sort the list by distance.

* Notice that some of the smilies changed back to the "regular" icon for that cache type.

 

I have found 478 of 720 caches in BM27MQ8 but when I sort by distance many (not all) caches lose the smiley.
This is NOT helpful when trying to figure out the closest not-found cache in the list!

[Leaderboard bug for may 2023: Adventure Labs Locations not counted]

I contacted HQ about my missing leaderboard points for AL stages found on May 1st. I received this response...

 

We have fixed the leaderboard so that new Adventure finds (found after May 1st at 7:30 pm UTC) count towards this month's challenge.
The team is currently looking into fixing finds from before this time, but we are unable to promise if or when we might credit the finds to the Leaderboard.

[Add to List (from Webpage) not working]

There is also another workaround. Open list in another tab/window and click last icon on menu bar to "add a cache to list". Adding multiple GC codes is supported.
Then copy GC from map; switch tabs and paste into list.

Search Map is not working; see these topics for same issue I experience: Topic 365770 and Topic 365625; neither was helpful for my situation.

 

Tuesday, Chrome update; immediately  Search map stopped working and  is currently broken.
Wednesday, another Chrome update did not resolve this issue.
Thursday (today)  I rebooted Windows; still same issue.

 

Windows 10 updates are current; no updates are pending. System does not meet minimum requirements for Win11.

What do I try next?

 

[BUG: Personal Cache Note]

Enter these characters "x1<y2>z3" into Personal Cache Note and click SAVE. The middle four characters disappear!!

[PQ email "Download now" links works; but no file downloaded]

I access email via Chrome. Last week when I clicked "Download now"; Chromes downloaded the file but warned me it might be unsafe; I clicked "accept" and file was downloaded/available.

After another Chrome update; now when I click the "Download now" link; I see a new tab open and close. When I ask Chrome to reopen last closed tab; I see its the PQ download page. This suggests that the PQ download page was accessed; yet no file was downloaded. Anyone else see the same behaviour? I know I can go to the PQ download page and manually download a file; but that's a LOT more clicks than just clicking link in email. How to fix this?

[BUG: Bookmark list icons change]

Steps to reproduce this BUG:

a) Navigate to *ANY* bookmark list that contains caches that either you have found or you DNF'd or some of each.

b) Sort by Distance by clicking the word "Distance" at top of column.

c) Refresh page

All caches now show "normal" icon; no smilies; no DNF's.

 

EDIT (2022-Apr-29) this also happens with caches that have corrected coordinates.

[[BUG] Message centre: send button (often) not working]

I encountered this issue today with coordinates in message; read a prior post about periods in coordinates; reworded my message to avoid using coordinates and it was sent without issue.

[BUG: Missing smiley on bookmark list icons]

When I access this BM list; there are *MANY* caches that show the "ordinary" icon for mystery/unknown cache (without yellow smiley in corner) even though I have found many of them.

https://www.geocaching.com/plan/lists/BM27MQ8

I sorted the list by distance and chose option to show 50 caches per page.

The page reports that 19 caches have not yet been found; yet I have found all of them!

[main search page - missing cache]

Thanks Moun10Bike; it's on ignore list - sorry for the noise.

[main search page - missing cache]

This is weird...

https://www.geocaching.com/play/search?origin=Ontario,+Canada&ot=1&g=69&kw=Week&owner[0]=carnigrewal

Search "Ontario" with filters owner="carnigrewal" and cache name contains "week".

There should be 18 caches; but only 17 are listed. One cache is missing...

[BUG: Total find count - error!]

See attached screenshot. Total caches found appears three times; two of them (17888) are WRONG!! 17889 is correct.
Check my statistics page to see calendar also reports 17889 find; which matches my personal counting system.

Nothing that requires finding more caches.

 

Someone offline told me that a 3-digit code must be entered via app. What if I don’t have a smartphone?

[Mystery at the Museum]

Level 1 = Detective

Level 2 = Evidence

Level 3 = Jewels

Level 4 = 35 caches

Are there more levels?

[BUG: Click "View Larger Map" centers on wrong location!]

Click "View Larger Map" centers on wrong location!

For any geocache; enter some new coordinates.

Click "View Larger Map".

The map will center on posted coordinates; not corrected coordinates!

[New map refuses to center on archived cache]

After receiving notification that a cache had been archived; I visited the cache page and clicked "View Larger Map".

The map page appears with the pop-up  ---  Sorry, we couldn’t find "GC6Q5VA".

What a silly restriction!!

 

[Release Notes (Website: New Search Map) - April 25, 2019]

The release notes (above) includes the following:

• Search the world – This removes all location constraints from your search. For example, “Show me all of the Webcam Caches worldwide.”

This sounds like an interesting feature; but it does not seem to work.

 

I tried a search for "Show me all of the Webcam Caches worldwide" and map zooms in on a traditional GC1ZR73 in Maine!

[PQ links do not appear correctly!]

Make some changes to a Pocket Query; when you click "Submit Information"; you see a page containing:

Pocket Query

Thanks! Your pocket query has been modified and currently results in 99 caches. You can preview the search here.

 

There is a link in the green text;  but it appears to be "normal" text when using Chrome. Unless you know it's there; you never see it.

[BM inks do not appear correctly!]

Edit the description for a BM List; or edit any cache in a BM list. When you save changes you see a page containing:

Create New Bookmark List

Thanks! Your bookmark has been changed. You can visit the Bookmark List to see your changes.

or

You have edited your bookmark list. You may visit your bookmark list page or make changes to the details for this list.

 

There are one or two links in the green text (depending which edit you made);  but they appear to be "normal" text when using Chrome. Unless you know there are links there; you never see them.

[Map preferences - Leaflet?]

How do I switch to Leaflet on new map?

[BUG: New search map not working]

On the geocaching home page I enter "Ontario"; then select "Ontario, Canada regional search" from the drop-down list.

I am presented with a map; On the left side, I click "Filters", then click "Deselect all types"; then enable "Events".

Now what do I click to refresh the map? I think "Done" is a stupid name for button; since I have not yet found what I'm looking for and therefore not "Done".

Anyway, I click "Done" and page says "No matching results". Surely there are some events in Ontario?

[Planetary Pursuit: Mystery cache scoring wrong]

Excellent!  One issue is not yet resolved. I found 50 Mystery caches yesterday. Some where logged before issues were corrected. The scoring for all EXCEPT ONE have been fixed (GC78J4T); my first find of the day. This mystery is still reporting only 5 points. This is not a big deal for me because I have all 10 souvenirs; but it occurs to me that research into this issue might identify others still reporting incorrect scoring.

My scoring and souvenirs are now PERFECT! Thanks for quick resolution to issues during this promotion.

I think I should have receive 30 points for a mystery cache with 18 favorite points ...

Sorry; max 15 points per find. I forget where I read this.

"Signal, we've had a problem here."

We had a rocky launch to the space voyage.
Several last minute calculations at ground control were needed, to change the orbit.
But we're off now.
Good luck to all the space explorers in their pursuit for planets!
