Can you rephrase your question, I'm have trouble understanding what you're asking.
Sure - If I'm in the field on my phone and I want to look at previous logs, it would be tough if I had to scroll through everyone's 100-line-long list of other caches.
Sorry, I see that I left the word "list" out of my first sentence.

We returned from a whirlwind trip and are now getting around to logging our finds. All logs were saved as drafts in the app, and now at home, I'm writing the logs on my computer. I logged some from a later date and now, when getting to that date, the logs are not in the order found for that date.
If it's time stamped, it should keep the order, correct? Not a huge deal, but kind of annoying.
Actually, I disagree - in my opinion it IS a big deal.

I'm not archiving the cache. The forums is the place for stuff like this. People have lots of different opinions on topics, and this was one that I was inquisitive about. The beauty is that I can post unti I'm yellow in the face. We can have a discussion like adults here and your most welcome to chime in at any point. I'm grateful for your response.
You're suppose to do a lot of things in geocaching. It's a rare person who goes out, checks all the signatures of all their caches and then compares the online logs to the electronic logs. I'm one of the few cache owners who do that. Most people cannot be bothered.
So, you think that every log should have that of 100 qualifying caches?
What does that do to caches downloaded to GPSRs or PhoneCachers scrolling through all that in the field?

It's CTRL+V to paste; CTRL+P will try to print something.
Guess I'm one of those Luddites who eschews mice in favor of the keyboard as well! Hubby is always frustrated when trying to use my laptop because I have no mouse.
This is SO weird, but of course only you know why.

In Windows, ctrl+P is a print request.

The 'text-based right-click functions' (TBF: cut, copy, paste, select all) seem to be activated by the presence of text in the search box.
Type something in there, and the functions show up.
Standard selective TBF implementation, if it's used and not just 'always present' follows rules like:
- If there's text in the space, allow cut, copy & maybe 'select all'.
- If the clipboard isn't empty, allow paste.
Seems wrong to me. Where's the problem? GS' web programming? Browser interface?
Or, some powerful luddite like me (usually) who doesn't trust mice and thinks everyone should still rely completely on keyboards.

I received this reply from Geosphinx about the cache Peacock Heaven and the change in Placed Date that started this discussion.
Clearly that's a misunderstanding; he thinks you're talking about a log entry, and you're talking about the cache page. Clear it up with him, or let it go.

I agree, it's very wrong. If CO's feel the need to change things like titles, D/T ratings, sizes, or dates after say a good week of making sure they are set, then they just need to archive the hide if they feel they need to change it again. Just archive and replace it with a new hide so it doesn't screw with stats. It's not like hides today are super rare like the early 2000's hides.
4 hours ago, baer2006 said:Let's suppose you get what you want, and every CO archives the old listing and puts out a new one, when anything about their cache has to change (e.g. because the environment has changed) - D/T, size, attributes etc. Are you sure you'd want that for very old caches, too? For a 20+ years old cache, chances are rather high, that the original hide is no longer viable. I can imagine the sh*t storm you get for suggesting to archive the old listing, and churn out a new one
!
Even worse - let's say a CO owns a dozen hides in a crowded downtown area, or on a remote trail.
He or she does a maintenance run and makes adjustments to every one of them, so they all get archived and re-created.
You found them years ago, so they're not in your 'active' memory. Suddenly, a dozen 'boings' go off on your phone for the new hides, and you make the trip into the city or plan and execute a major hike up into the hills. You get there and realize....every one of them little green circles on the map...

I have only a few Canadian cache finds, including exactly zero in Ontario, so I need to ask: what makes the Wilburforce claim a false one?
Ha! For the answer to that, you should see the episode, if you can.
If you have no way to see it, message me.

I know this was mentioned here in the fora several years ago when it was first on TV, but I'm bringing it up again because I just saw it.
Standup comedian Jonny Harris, who appears on the Canadian Broadcasting Company's 'Murdoch Mysteries' as Constable George Crabtree also has another show. In 'Still Standing' he visits Canada's small towns and cities under stress; maybe the mining company shut down operations, the local logging industry dried up, they built a highway that bypasses the town, all the young people moved away, etc.
He spends a week getting to know the town and its people, then does a stand-up show for the residents, highlighting the positives in the town and what they're doing to cope. In other words, why the town is "Still Standing".
The show's great. I just reached Season 4, Episode 4 where he's in Wilberforce, Ontario, the (falsely) self-proclaimed 'Canadian Capitol of Geocaching'. Funny as hell. We watch it on Amazon Prime; it's available here in the US through other services, too.
The Internet Movie Database lists this episode as Season 4, Episode 7, but on Prime it's Episode 4. So, look for the TOWN of Wilberforce, not the Episode number.
THEN, look at this: https://coord.info/GC75ZPT

Ok, thanks for the advice. We may have to do that in the future.
Take a look at these pics of some of the TB's on my account. Theyhave a large laminated two-sided card explaining what they are and what the mission is, and admonitions to not just take or keep them.
I realized long ago that the early-adopted standard practice of attaching cute 'companions' to the travel tags was self-defeating; the 'Beany Baby' would be taken and the dogtag thrown away. The point is to get the TAG to travel, so why wrap it in a shiny dollar bill, so to speak.
Funny thing - a few years ago a cacher contacted me - he was walking across a college campus, nowhere NEAR where my TB was supposed to be and he found, laying on the ground, one of my laminated cards!!! Bug was in the wind, never to resurface. He mailed me the card
.
A little off-topic, but here's an interesting one that I thought wouldn't be kept: the 'game' on this was to identify exactly what this 'companion' is!
Nice plan, but it disappeared from its second cache. <sigh>

Well not your gallery in particular, but they say a picture paints a thousand words and I'd hope my own gallery provides a good overview of my caching adventures. For me at least, caching is a community game where we hide caches for others to find and share our experiences of those caches with that community. The gallery is a part of that sharing. If someone wants to hide their gallery that's fine, but if they haven't, it doesn't mean anyone looking at it has sinister intentions.
Oh, Jeff - Face it; your caching moniker isn't nearly as entertaining if you're not looking at your gallery.

Please consider me!
Any one of them.
Thanks...Bill
Well, I got and accepted the adoption request!
Thank you so much - I enjoy these, including the kick of getting logs, both movement AND discover, and even the thrill of rooting for them to NOT go missing!
Cache on...Bill

Apparently, there are some crashing issues with versions 9.45 and 9.46. In at least some instances, it is being caused by Talkback. Turning that off, dismissing the tooltip banner on the map, then turning Talkback on again seems to correct it. You might give that a try. If not, I'd suggest writing in to our support team.
I'm running Android version 9, and I don't have Talkback installed.
I guess I'll try writing support. Thanks.

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.

Keystone left a link for the 7-day free membership.
You may not be "finding" caches because you're using the phone app.
Using the app limits you, like igator 210 said, to 2D/2T and below caches, and (IIRC) none other than Traditionals and Events. Take at look on the map in your profile page.
If you look at your profile, a search on all caches from your location shows all the caches you're missing out on (other than Premium Member Only).
I haven't done it (I use a GPSr) but entering caches in manually will allow you to find some while you're waiting for your free week.
Stop back if you have problems ...
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.

Although, I'd probably be more careful about that whole 'PVC pipe with curly wires' thing.

Had the same problem for months. Recently I found a solution in a local forum.
Hide the conversation and (if you want) rehide it.
I never tried it because I thought I can not rehide the conversion without continuing the conversion by sending a new message. But that's not necessary.
You mean hide it, then UNhide it, right?

Log deletion for challenge caches

Well, as I typed my comment it occurred to me that I normally write LONG logs, so maybe I'M the problem I'm writing about!
