Just click on the heading of the column you want to sort by and it will sort in that order. If you want a special order - the sequence you want to do a the caches in for example, use the user sort column - number the caches in the order you want to do them and sort on that. BINGO

My firefox is fine. so it not a browser issue.

One of the ones I liked best was in a cache placed at Easter. There were a number of certificates for the first finders to take to the village shop to exchange for an Easter Egg

Night caches are Trads (or multies or puzzles etc) they are not a separate type of cache. They should be shown by having the night attribute set. If it upsets you ask the CO to set the attribute but no reason to archive.

Many thanks for that. I was loosing the will to keep following the forum without the 'ignore Thread' button.now I can see only what I'm interested in.

Click to open the map as you usually would (I go in through a cache page and click on Geocaching.com Google Map) and at the top, just above the map you should see "View the new maps beta!" Click that....... Edited to add - or click this link and navigate yourself to wherever Thanks for that. Iwas looking for something that sais Open Street Map and the only one I could find was the bottom one on the list which only shows one cache. I suppose I was naive to suppose that GS wouldn't hide Open street Map unde a heading of Google maps. Thanks

Can someone give a clue please? Where are these Wonderful / useless new maps? If only I could find them I could make up my own mind.

Be carefulwith these. I used one of them to translate a foreigh cache page - can't remember , bit it could well have been German - and ended up reading about " a ticket for a turberculous dog" I suspect a better translation would have been "a TB Dog Tag"

If you host the pictures somewhere other than geocaching .com and link to them in your cache discription, which has to be in HTML, there doesn't appear to be any limit other than the time it takes them to load if they are too big. All the pictures on my cache pages (apart from some on adopted caches) are hosted on the personal webspace I get from my ISP. Doing theis means that the pictures never go anywhere near Groundspeak as when loading the page your browser loads the HTML which tells it where to go to get the pictures.

IMHO I would say yes, for 2 reasons. i. Loading caches into Cachemate without GSAK is possible but a real pain. ii. Once you have a knowlege of GSAK, Cachemate is almost automatic. I know GSAK can seem daunting at first and on your own can be rather like trying to learn how to ride a bike form a book of instructions. The easiest way is to spend an hou with someone who is familiar with it. From the caches you have found, I am guessing that you are from the Blythe area. I offer the following suggestions:-. Have a look for events in your area. I'm sure there will be several in the run up to Christmas and go to one, or more, of them. You will find a friendly bunch of people there. most of whom will be GSAK users and will be happy to help you. If you haven't already found the NE forum try asking for GSAK help on there. I would offer to help but I am rather a long way away in Northamptonshire!

Hi, welcome to the addiction. The first requirement for paperless caching, regardless of what hardware you are using is 'Premium Membership'. This is so that you can download pocket queries with bulk GPX files rather than the LOC files you can download as a member. LOC files contain only the name and coordinates and not a lot more whereas GPX files contain everything on the cache page including hints and previous logs. I used to use a Palm for caching in conjunction with an Etrex Venture. On the palm I had Cachemate and on the desktop I used (and still do) GSAK to sort out the caches and download them to the palm and the Etrex. I did try linking the Etrex to the palm but the only method they would both support was a serial link with a length of electrical string which would get securely wrapped around every passing bush, so I stuck to separate GPS and PDA. I now use a bluetooth GPSr and a PPC running beeline (and Pocket Anquet for mapping) I would say, a palm and Cachemate is a very good introduction to paperless caching and will enable you to decide what is important for you before upgrading if you want to.

This has stopped working. Has Groundspeak broken it again or is it just me?

One you should certainly do in the Dublin area is the historic GC43 (Yes- that is right. I haven't left 3 digits off) Europe's First.

That's a bit rich - coming from the person that produced GCHPH1 Claydon Conundrum

Definitely right. If I turned up to do a multi or puzzle (or any other cache) that used a chirp and didn't have the icon for my PQ to ignore it, I would have no hesitation in slapping an SBA on it as it isn't doable for the majority of cachers and also posting a warning to others that it needs special equipment in my log as well

Something funny going on here. I wondered if it was a premium member thing so I logged on using my Sock Puppet account and it still shows the bearing and distance correctly. The only things I can suggest are to check that you got your home coordinates entered correctly and they got saved. Note that it is home coordinates that are the important thing here. There is also home location, which is a text field and can be anything like 'South of Watford Gap'. Which shows on your profile while home coords are not shown anywhere public and are confidential. On a search the Bearing is shown as a tiny little compass with the distance below it in the first (left hand) column of the search results

. When getting PQ's for a holiday and working out trails, if there is a cache that has been disabled for ages or had loads of NM logs with no sign of action, I have put in out of area NA logs 4 or 5 times. Two of these were in France which used to have a big problem of 'Holiday Caches' with no maintenance arrangements. Now that caching is taking off in France this seems much less of a problem than it was.

Same for me - all working on 3.6.12

What's the cache GC Code? 1 GC2GGBD 2 GC2GGEM 3 GC2GG7K 4 GC2GG6X 5 GC2GG8M but you cant view them untill they have been reviewed He can. He's a reviewer (for Ireland)

Another Clue I'm surprised that this seems to be causing such problem. It is a well-known cache that has had nearly 500 finds since it was published 10.5 years ago

Time for a clue. The GC code is "unusual"

I'll self DING and post this, which should be an easy one.

That took a bit of searching. It's 'Comme au Cinema' (GC23105).

Thanks for this Deci, I didn't know such a thing existed. Very useful for things other than the fora as well. Especially useful at the moment as I'm stuck in bed, using my lappy with a single 10" screen rather than the big dual displays on my desktop
