  1. I'm running Android version 9, and I don't have Talkback installed. I guess I'll try writing support. Thanks.
  2. I'm having the same problem. I uninstalled/rebooted/reinstalled the app about a week ago and everything seemed to work, then today it's happening again. This is a Samsung s10 Active running Android, of course. It's up for a few seconds, then it goes away and I get this message: When I tap "Close App" it all goes away, but then, tapping the three thingies on the left to display my open apps: Looks like it's actually still active. Tapping it just starts it all over. Sounds like it's becoming a more common problem. Any suggestions? I'm offline.
  3. If you take advantage of the free 7-day Premium Membership from Keystone, you have to LOG OFF of the website AND the phone app, then log back in, otherwise it won't recognize your membership status change and you won't see anything different.
  4. Although, I'd probably be more careful about that whole 'PVC pipe with curly wires' thing.
  5. You mean hide it, then UNhide it, right?
  6. Twelfth to respond to an offer of ten, but if two don't work out, please consider this request!
  7. You can back-date a log. Make it look like you originally looked for it years ago.
  8. Not sure what you're expecting. You're viewing a website page on a skinny display; it's gonna word-break. Your best bet is to use a computer.
  9. I want to point out here that I wrote a pretty decent detailed reply to this cacher a few days ago which got a few up-thumbs, and then the thread was suddenly gone. Now, this cacher has asked a series of extremely simplistic questions, all of which are in degrees impossible to answer given the simplicity of each query. I'd suggest that the cacher evaluate all of the answers received so far as a whole, including the ones on the deleted thread and start looking at this holistically, instead of one step at a time, which will strain the patience of the collective. And, read the Help Center section of the website.
  10. Continuing my rant, it also brands geocachers as vandals and thieves.
  11. Fake lights, electrical fixtures, plumbing fixtures, sprinklers, security devices such as keyboxes, fake mailboxes, etc. are horrible ideas for geocaches. Their use normalizes their use, grants permission for, um, less-than-fully-aware cachers to mess around with the real thing and sets bad GC habits. In some cases it may violate laws; for example, in the US it's a federal offense to put anything in a mailbox that's labeled for mail delivery (and "US MAIL" is stamped on almost all domestically-sold mailboxes by the manufacturer.) Also, if you add a phony mailbox to a string of boxes on a rural rail, you're building the habit that we should look in mailboxes. Do you want someone sticking their hands in yours? In other cases, it's damage, These fora are FULL of stories about people who disassemble real lawn sprinklers. Some of those threads are worth searching out and reading. In other cases, it's potentially deadly. You do you, but I think it's irresponsible.
  12. K - Thanks for clarifying. I forgot to mention the difference between the Reference & Tracking codes. Maximally important!
  13. To explain a little further, you can't just put a sticker on your car to make it a 'Car Travel Bug', or any other kind of Travel Bug. You have to acquire an official tracking number from Groundspeak so it can be registered and appear in online. As geoawareUSA9 said, most often, you just get the whole thing from HQ, Number AND sticker because it's easy and not too expensive, but once you have the number registered to you and activated online, you can do anything you want with it. Put it on your own sticker, window cling or card, license plate, paint job, jacket, shirt, or declare 'yourself' the TravelBug, walk up to people and say it out loud, if that's your thing. There MAY be a requirement for displaying the 'Travel Bug' icon (that scarab), but I don't think so. As for the number, it won't start with the letters "GC", that's for 'GeoCaches'. Trackable codes USUALLY start with "TB" which stands for..... you get it. As far as 'font size' on a car bug goes, just consider where your car will be when people are looking at it. If it's in a parking lot, then it doesn't matter, but if you're in traffic, don't be surprised to see some geek (like the rest of us) inching closer, closer, closer at 65 MPH paying attention to NOTHING around them except your 6-pitch sticker BAM!
  14. Huh. I pictured you somewhat older. Well, you really never know online!
  15. AAaah, Darin, the problem is that to be in compliance with privacy rules in effect in many regions, any I.D. you hold up would have to have any identifying information obscured. Have you ever tried holding up your Driver License with one hand while trying to cover the name, address, DL #, gender, height, weight, blood type, donor status and photo with various fingers? Damned hard. You could say, "Just hold up the BACK!" and I would respond, "Now you're just being silly."
  16. But doesn't putting it in the hint defeat the purpose of giving them important information like that? The POINT is to only look at the hint if you get frustrated! If you see the gizmo up in the tree and ascend to it, there's never a need to reveal the hint.
  17. I personally wouldn't choose to do that. Hints are for hints, not for extra information you're trying to shoehorn into visibility on the app for people who don't want to open the description or don't even know that it's there.
  18. Aren't we always complaining about how nobody seems to read descriptions anymore?
  19. Keystone - What do you mean, "The same artist who "created" Signal the Frog"? Wait a minute - are you saying.... WHAT?!?!? First Santa, now SIGNAL? AAARRRGGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!
  20. You mean above 'Platinum Membership'?
  21. Best contact the Help Center if you're that concerned about the timing. Even if things go badly, having an actual lodged issue with them may get you the legacy price. The best you can get from us is....sympathy!
  22. From what lazyuncle posted, an apology was received from the company. That's different. The company didn't make the mistake; a person did. They even acknowledged that. Simple decency.
  23. But no apology from gaijincory for the mistake and the ensuing difficulties? That's rude.
