  1. Erstmal Danke für deinen vollen 1satz um attraktive Dosen zu legen. Ganz allgemein, den konkreten Fall kenne ich nicht umfassend: - Als Owner muss man leider damit rechnen, dass Caches trotz Deaktivierung angegangen werden, weil manche Sucher nicht mit einem aktuellen Listing losziehen. - Bei wenigen Cachern, leider aber auch nicht bei einer vernachlässigbaren Anzahl von Cachern, ist der "Erfolgsdruck" so hoch, dass auf sorgsamen Umgang nicht mehr geachtet wird.. Etwas entschärfen kann man die Situation, wenn man als Owner z.B. eine faire Backuplösung anbietet, was ich nicht nur wegen der Zerstörungsgefahr als sinnvoll erachte. Manchmal verwende ich zum montieren von Schlössern mit voller Absicht normale Schrauben, statt den beiliegenden nicht wiederausdrehbaren. Dann "freuen" sich ein paar Helden, dass sie den Owner mit einen Schraubendreher "ausgetrickst" haben ;), aber mir ist das lieber, als unnötige Wartungsarbeiten machen zu müssen. Grüßle Johannis10
  2. For what type of cache? For a tradi? Write something nice but don't be sad if you realize that only very few cachers read the listing. Otherwise don't write "hide the cache as found" Because if someone hides it incorrectly, it may be hidden incorrectly for a long time. Better write how it should be hidden, then the cache is self-healing.
  3. Have you tried saving an image to Dropbox and used the Dropbox link? Good luck. Greetings Johannis10
  4. The location is very impressive. Instead of an earth cache, I could also imagine a multicache. For example, there is something to measure on the rock and it is just a qta stage. The final is then outside the park. Greetings Johannis10
  5. The reviewers do not see the owner's home coordinates, but they do see the distance. A cache sponsor is usually required from a distance of 161 km.
  6. The first birthday of the bug was celebrated with a virtual birthday cake. If you like you can already plan a nice event with real cake for the 2nd birthday, maybe near your beautiful cache?
  7. Bisher ist mir lediglich ELV bekannt, die sich so eine Zulassung gegönnt haben...
  8. Nimm statt dem ESP32 ein Notebook und der Tag wird gut . Statt der SD-Karte gibt's oder gab's von GS zugelassene Sticks und dann noch ein Kaugummipapier oder ähnliches zum draufschreiben dazulegen, damit bei niemandem Zweifel an der Konformität aufkommen... Viel Erfolg bei deinem Projekt.
  9. If you meant the following, this would of course also work: Only A found => X and Y solvable Only B found => X and Y solvable Only C found => X and Y solvable Advantage: Even if two caches are missing, you can still find the others
  10. Use one of the basic designs allowed by GS. If you then independently add other possible solutions, it is allowed. Example: Allowed design: X is the bonus cache of A Y is the bonus cache of B and C Basic requirement: A found => X solvable B + C found => Y solvable Additional solutions: B + C found => X solvable (advantage, if A is missing X is still findable) A + C found => Y solvable (advantage, if B is missing Y is still findable) A + B found => Y solvable (advantage, if C is missing Y is still findable) With this suggestion both bonus caches are findable as long as only one of the caches A, B or C is missing. Wish you much success with your project. Greetings Johannis10
  11. So far I don't know anyone who needs this function "Press enter to send.", but I have already received many involuntarily fragmented messages. Just my opinion: If you implement something like this, you should at least not make it preset, but have to activate it consciously...
  12. This box appears only if he previously becomes a premium member. As a basic member, this box is no longer available for many years. The box appears with Basicmember only if the cache is already PMO. Then the PMO status for the cache can be reset, but not vice versa.
  13. In my area I have made in recent years the experience that many cachers are now overwhelmed to close a Munibox again properly. Therefore, I would recommend an inner plastic box as water protection if the hiding place can get wet.
  14. Dit komt ook overeen met mijn huidige ervaring. Vroeger was het gemakkelijker. Hier is een voorbeeld van hoe het momenteel werkt: https://coord.info/GC9F8ZF
  15. Existe uma forma de comunicar problemas aqui: https://www.geocaching.com/help/ Outra possibilidade: Pode comunicá-los à Groundspeak utilizando a ligação "contacte-nos" na parte inferior desta página. Em alternativa, também pode bloquear utilizadores no "Centro de mensagens". Uma boa semana Muitas saudações Johannis10
  16. Below is an Example of a nice letterbox location and a nice matching stamp. @Goldenwattle I agree with that. In our area, however, some cachers drive to each powertrailcache by car, although they are on forest roads that are closed to cars. This leads to understandable anger about geocaching at the forestry authorities. => For number grabbers best to place the Pillboxes on a road, even if the area is ugly...
  17. That depends on who you are placing the cache for. For statisticians* to whom statistics is more important than anything else: - Find a place where there are already many caches nearby or place many yourself. - The caches must be easily and quickly accessible. Never choose a long footpath even if it is scenically beautiful. - Choose a place where a rare and coveted D/T attribute can be used. It does not have to fit exactly to the circumstances. - Choose desirable rare attributes such as "snowshoes required" even if they are not very appropriate to the chosen location. - A pillbox with a single stamp-letter glued on it, is sufficient as a container. It is not important to choose a beautiful stamp motif or an interesting location. It is more important that the points mentioned above are fulfilled. => You will get many logs, but mostly in poor quality. For geniuses: - Search a beautiful interesting place, the way may also be longer. - Create a well understandable interesting clue - use a nice stamp motif that people like to remember - Choose the attributes and the D/T rating as they fit to the hiding place. => You may get less logs, but on average, more pleasant to read logs. Just my opinion: Interest in statistics does not have to be bad in itself, but some effects I consider questionable. Greetings Johannis10 *This type of priorities is increasingly promoted by GS through Various Actions and rule adjustments.
  18. Just one example from my area: Someone built a power trail with several hundred cans. This gave a rush of visitors in the affected forest. The hunt tenants were annoyed. The authorities have not only archived the Powertrail, but in this large district are already banned for years any kind of new geocaches. The frequent statement and behavior in this context: "Everyone should play the game as he pleases" sometimes destroys years of good cooperation with the competent authorities to the detriment of all.
  19. I agree. Sorry, English is not my native language, which is why it is not so easy for me to write more extensively. In general, I see the tendency that statistics always gains a greater importance, rather than the original idea in geocaching. Some people like this tendency, others don't. I accept that, but personally I find it a pity.
  20. Just My Opinion: I find this statement inappropriate. Unfortunately, many new LB hybrid in my area are also made just so: In the past, power trails were not allowed. Thus GS has made possible by this rule change, that the game has been degraded.
  21. Het is eenvoudig om een banner te maken van een zelfgemaakte afbeelding. Er zijn hier instructies: https://geocachen.nl/geocaching-banner/ Als je nog meer hulp nodig hebt, vraag het dan gerust opnieuw. Vriendelijke groeten Johannis10
  22. Google for a strikethrough text generator. Enter your text and copy the result into your cache title. I have already done several times when the caches were not in an optimal condition but guideline compliant.
  23. For caches which are only published on geocaching.com is this feature only available, if you have a premium account. Greetings Johannis10
  24. Nice workaround idea. Thanks. Edit: Unfortunately I get an error message ("Third party images are not allowed in the listing") when I want to use the image address below for my cache listing. It seems that the workaround is currently no longer working.
  25. So far not all bugs have been fixed as you can easily see here right now without calculation: https://coord.info/GC9F8ZF 5 findes and 5 FP is not 80%
