Is there any way in GSAK to take a group of caches, lets say my hides and change their symbols on mass in a macro or maybe Global replace to maybe an "Ape Cache" icon for lets say 100 caches? I chose the "Ape Cache" because there are no "Ape Caches" in my area!

thanks

Hello,
I feel that having puzzle finals for found puzzles visible would be a good option to reduce the work for reviewers. It would reduce the number of too close hides that makes reviewers need to correspond with hiders.
What would be the point of even having puzzles caches if you could go to the map to locate them?
Methinks she is referring to her found puzzles.
Exactly only the found ones I don't want to see those that are still out there to be located! My motive is that we can avoid those we have signed when hiding new caches. I have no idea of where 70% were hidden even a few weeks after unless they were special.
I have found 509 Mystery Caches, maybe 30 are challenges, ~80% active and most within 20 miles of my QTH which is exactly where I hide new ones.
Take care,
Misha
BTW Misha = Mike in Russian
PS: #400 just published

Your first suggestion has been suggested before, for example:
Adding coordinates of solved puzzle caches to map
Your second suggestion is something Groundspeak is aware of. The new search is not complete. They are still adding features to it, and the ability to do something with the results (download, save as PQ, etc.) is on the list of desired features.
thanks

Another thing I would like to have is the ability to save a pocket query from the new search page for premium members.

Thanks for the suggestions! We'll definitely look into some of them.
I'd recommend critter431's caches

Thanks for the replies

Are we still permitted to host a First to Find Event? One Where people hide caches and get them approved then trade the pages to facilitate getting first finder status?
Here is an example of one 9 years ago http://coord.info/GCPXZ7
-

Can you show us proof that caches are being removed and archived? Is anyone getting any messages or warnings (email) stating that their caches are just being removed and archived? You show a link of a mega event website, but I am wondering where the specific information is on that site that states that caches are being removed/archived.
It has only been verble (from the committee) to date but we are about 2 months from the planned action and I intend to nip this in the bud without a fight!
-
This is not in a park!
-
about ten miles!
-
Sounds fine to me, I have done that on some but left them on others that still had value to me.
-
The committee for Maritime Mega Moncton are requesting the removal of caches along a local hiking trail where they want to hide their own 15 kilometer (about 10 miles) series.
It has been said by some, that they will remove and then request that a reviewer archive the caches. Are they permitted to do this? Are my caches on that trail doomed?
-
Good point Pup patrol but as it is in a very windswept it does depend on the winter; last winter we had 6 meters in the woods (and still have 50cm, May 5th, 2015) yet that location the snow did not cover that cache up. To put the snow flake icon it has to be 1.2 meters off the ground and it isn't. With that said I will remove those icons to eliminate confusion
-
Are attributes a maintenance issue?
Also my printout from when that was hidden showed dog, horse, bike, short hike, less than hour, but not scuba, or boat so how could that have been changed?

[*]What do you like most about challenge caches?
They help set goals like Fizzy challenge or 100 caches in a day
[*]What do you not like about challenge caches?
I wish they had their own symbol not the "?" but they should still count to our find count
[*]What would you like to see changed about challenge caches?
New icon
[*]If you could describe your favorite challenge cache type, what would it be?
100 in a day, or cache everyday
[*]What types of challenge caches do you avoid?
Complicated ones just like technical or math puzzles

So now there are *******s who sit around and repetitiously enter numbers into the TB system until they get a hit. Perhaps Groundspeak should update the system to include a wait time of a few minutes after someone puts in 3 incorrect numbers.
I like the wait time idea as it can be programmed easily

We should avoid all New Brunswick Protected Natural Areas, and there are allot of them. Restricted or class 1 areas are fully off limits with a $600 fine for intrusion even by being lost! The class 2 sites are to not have ANYTHING left behind. Fines would be enforced on those hiding and finding geocaches, but hiking, camping or non-powered boating is permitted, ALL WASTE MUST BE REMOVED!

Planetary Pursuit?
in General geocaching topics
Posted
Can I suggest another option for future souvenir based contests like "Planetary Pursuit"? My thoughts are to include an opportunity to get points for doing one or more maintenance when someone else had reported that your cache needs maintenance or the geocache had had 2 consecutive DNFs the reward would be limited to one cache per day and that no two caches could count within a mile of another cache used for the challenge. A little motivation could do a lot to keep geocaching as much fun as possible for all users.
