I think it would be nice if some of the folks that work directly with geocaching, such as publishers and site owners, would stop and think that we are all simply trying to have fun. Some seem to think the geocaching world belongs to them and if you don't do it just the way they think it should be done then they give you a hard time. None us are making any money doing this, that I know of, and we are all trying to have fun, get some exercise and see some interesting places. Some are smarter than others and some are not a as smart as they may think they are.
Let's just have fun.

During Hurricane Katrina, we were forced to archive a cache. Now that repairs are being made to the area we feel we are now in a posisiton to reactivate this "archived" cache.
How do we do that?

The geocaching survey form was a good idea but I'm not sure that the site works correctly. When
I finished filling out the survey it never offer a "send" command to send it back to Geocaching. It simply went back to the beginning entries and they reflected they were already filled out.
I'm not sure if you got it or not.???????????????????????????????

It's simple; we are supporting the program that we enjoy very much.
Nothing is free. Somebody has to ante up.

Losing the mileage takes away a lot of the fun in doing the TB's.
I hope they come back.

That is normal behavior. When a new cache is created, the default maps are the rather crappy Tiger maps. After the cache is published, at some point the map will switch over to the prettiful map. This is done automatically when the map server crawls through the cache database looking for pages to update. Perhaps this was broken for awhile, and just recently got jump started.
Thanks that make me feel better. At least I'm not losing all my marbles.

What new maps would you be talking about? The geocaching.com maps look the same as they did over a year ago.
I'm not real fast with this stuff but it is the maps that are on the lower right side of the cache page
The new maps will show a location of the cache but it will, in most cases, only show roads and etc but nothing to identify the general area it is located in, such as a town name and etc.
Strange things seem to be happening. The maps that are showing up now are the correct maps. Maybe I'm smoking left handed cigarettes.......For the past weeks the maps have not been the usual maps that you see on the cache pages. I can't explain it.

The maps that are being used with the new format leave a good bit to be desired.
Not a complaint just a thought.

Leprechauns:
Thanks for your reply. I'm still not sure what is going on with this thing but I'll keep after it and see if it can be solved. I really appreciate your effort. I apologize for all the confusion, but the listing kept getting moved around and someone fussing about the spelling in some poor guys listing and etc. and etc.
I hope we will all remember that Geocaching was once fun.

I will list something on this site and someone keep moving it to another location.
Why?

I'm sorry, what do you mean Markwell

Everyone that has TB seems to have this problem. We have three that are in the hands of active members yet they will not put the bugs back down. One even acknowledges that he has it, needs to put it down but does nothing. I guess you just have to move one and consider that some folks just don't get it.

I have selected the following:
1-=New Notification
2-Traditional
3-Published and Enable
4-Point of origin - My coordinates
5-Kilometers -80 Note: If I change this to 200 when the page refreshes it will automatically go back to 80
6-I have checked Enable Notificatgion
What am I doing incorrectly?

Thanks

I have executed the form to be enrolled in the insta-notification program. I am not received the reports any suggestions?
-
I have filled out the form, the best I know how, but I am not getting notices of the new insta listings. Anyone have a guess as to why?

I have entered all the information I know to get the instant notification program to work. However, it fails to notify me of the new posting as they are put up.
Any suggestions.

68 and love it. We have found over 300 caches thus far.

There seems to be a problem in the Travel Bug Web site wherein you can only log in a note. The site does not offer the option of retrieving, grabbing or anything else. What should one do????

What good does it do to book mark a cache?
Thanks.

Altered Data
in General geocaching topics
Posted
Data that is listed on a cache web page is being changed by someone other than the person that is
operating the cache.
How can this happen?
