  1. Have you already entered the final waypoint? If not sure, check the waypoints list from Admin tools panel.
  2. You can see both. Click the icon for corrected coordinates to see the original.
  3. This seems to be fixed. When you enter your coordinates to corrected coordinates field the same set will fill also the checker and then you can check that your corrected coordinates were correct.
  4. Number of favorites is the best way. I must agree - the favorite situation in your area seems to be really really bad. But there are, inside ten mile range, a dozen caches which have over 10 favorites.
  5. Well, I think that more players could be hooked up if only the most favorited items were shown in the intro app. Does anyone disagree?
  6. At least you can get a list and a map using this criteria https://www.geocaching.com/play/search?types=8&kw=Challenge but not PQ. Technically it is possible to extract all needed information from the map but you need a sophisticated tool for that.
  7. You have opportunity to separate them and quite easily, because challenge caches has title "challenge". The next step is to convince the stats makers about the importance of the separated number of challenges.
  8. Not at all. Just ordinary forum conversation. For example when you quoted your own line: You left off this Maybe you found that I did not give any advice. I just listed known ways, how someone has tried to avoid excessive number of finders.
  9. As there are more caches in Finland than in Belgium, this definitely is not "most cases" at all. Maybe most caches in Belgium has already been archived because of this procedure you described. Does anyone know another country where need maintenance flag only leads to archive?
  10. How do you know that this happens in "most cases"? My own experience is that nothing like this happens in no case at all.
  11. Threre are some known ways to limit number of visitors for a cache, especially beginners. For example you can make it Premium Only, set Need Maintenance flag or heighten difficulty over 1,5. Changing the type to mystery is one of the most effective ways but not used very often. On that basis, sometimes it may be sensible to use mystery type for traditional cache and sometimes not. It depends on how many visitors the cache can actually handle.
  12. Have you seen traditional caches placed in a tree? You may need climbing gear and the operation may take even more than an hour. Attributes may warn you about these challenging caches, so read the description carefully. The same debate seems to happen when there is field puzzle multi cache. Some players may complain that cache type was wrong even it is strictly following guidelines. Guidelines include examples of when the cache is a mystery and when multi. The same instructions can also be used to determine whether the cache is a mystery or a traditional one when there is only one waypoint available. The one important factor is that cache must be mystery type if the cache cannot be found without research that goes beyond reading the cache page. Basically, you should be able to find traditional cache using printed description and a GPS receiver.
  13. That problem disappeared later. Overall MC is now better than the previous version. Image uploads are easier using drop down. One image (over 2MB) did not upload until I shrink the image size. I got no error message about too large image. I tried few times until found this solution.
  14. Today the MC screen opens but every conversations displays " The conversation failed to load. Please refresh the page to try again. "
  15. This is easy one. I would like to learn from the case and next time I would try to avoid making the same mistake. There is no reason to punish the finders of the cache owner's own mistake. Really this is just a funny incident that makes people remember this cache better.
  16. Seems to work without failure. Here you see how the entry box covers the message screen. It does not scroll automatically to the bottom after the box is dynamically adjusted.
  17. Maybe it is depending on the content. Would you offer a test message which does not behave correctly so others can also try the same text.
  18. It should not, but in this case this is special case. I have Firefox in Windows and it keeps line breaks when pasting the text. What happens when you copy and paste from another website?
  19. Checker could enable the hidden final waypoint. This way the extra information is available in pocket queries and automatically updated when the hint changes.
  20. Now you see why they are using Message Center instead of e-mail, as it stores the proof about contacting. There has been some blackouts in the e-mail gateway but generally it works better that Message Center itself, at least, before this update.
  21. When I start to write reply, the entry box expands and covers the last messages to which I am going to answer. It does not scroll to the bottom as it should in this case.
  22. This is not a geochecker at all. It is an ordinary field mystery like intercache which works exactly how you described the function. See: https://www.intercaching.com/intercache/index.php More discussion here:
  23. I have used my own checkers for some mysteries because there was not any suitable available. Normally I am using public geocheckers because it is not easy job to build full featured geochecker.
  24. I think that every web-designer knows how to make a geochecker. May be you have some idea how to make a better geochecker?
