  1. On the page describing each geocache type, the A.P.E. cache still says that there is only ONE remaining and links to the Southern Bowl. This needs to be updated with Mission 9: Tunnel of Light. https://www.geocaching.com/about/cache_types.aspx
  2. My biggest problem with the new logging page is the way it handles trackables. I don't want them in the order of most use. I want them in alphabetical order as it is with the old page. I leave many of my personal trackables in my inventory to "visit" to certain types of caches. I don't need the website to try to tell me which ones I use most. Just the ability to sort different ways would be nice. For that reason, I opt out each time I start logging caches. Having your personal inventory seperate from your inventory of others' trackables would also be great, which is different from my "collection."
  3. I was also very upset to see that this was archived. This was probably our favorite cache in DC. It took us to a particular spot that we would have never known about, and like someone mentioned, taught us something that we did not know. The whole family enjoyed this one. It seems like there would be plenty of people willing to adopt this cache. Heck, I would be happy to adopt it myself. I do think this is a cache where Groundspeak or the local reviewer should step in and mediate. I also think it is very unfair to not have an archived log or explanation. That's very confusing.
  4. I've only been geocaching for a couple of years and have only been collecting geocoins for about a year, so I missed out on a lot of great coins. I would love to have ANY type of Moun10Bike coin and any of the DeLorme coins. I ordered an Eartha Coin from DeLorme and then they cancelled it and labeled it "out of stock" after my order. :-( I'm having trouble locating any of them. I just finished the Delaware DeLorme Challenge last weekend and will finish the North Carolina DeLorme challenge within a couple of months. I want a DeLorme geocoin to mark my achievement.
  5. I can't believe that's all it was! Thank you! I searched online and the FAQ and couldn't find anything about it. I was going to suggest adding a note by the date about the format, but they do have the format there. I just missed it.
  6. I keep getting a 500 Server Error whenever I try to log visits. It's happened A LOT this past week and I'm getting behind on my logs. I have been able to do a few throughout the week, but the majority of the time I get the 500 server error. I can login, view my profile and do searches, but I cannot log visits. I've submitted two e-mails without an answer. I enjoy visiting waymarks and logging them, but there are many issues with the site that are not ideal. These issues are almost ruining it for me. If the Geocaching website was this bad, I'd probably be giving up. I'm starting to see why Waymarking is not as popular. I don't think it ever will be without a mobile app. If anyone has any suggestions to get around this error, please chime in. Maybe someone from Groundspeak will post something since I haven't heard back from my e-mails. It also seems odd that the last update to the News page was 2/15/2012! Does anyone maintain this site?
  7. We were also in Yellowstone last week and did many Earth and Virtual caches throughout the park as well as physical caches outside the park. I had read that cell phone service was pretty spotty at best before our trip. I took quite a bit of time creating an "offline" list. You can do this with a pocket query, but I also used GSAK to make it a little better. I used the offline list on both my Android Geocaching app as well as C:Geo. I also had a print out with a Garmin GPSr just in case, but didn't need it. My GPS on my HTC One worked great even without cell phone service. The offline list in C:Geo was a lifesaver and worked flawlessly. I have definitely learned to make lists if I'm going on a trip. It makes things work so much better and cuts down on a lot of frustration. You lose cell phone service even in the counties of NC where I live, so I'll definitely be using lists more often. Just thought some would like to hear how we tackled it. My list contained 73 earth/virtual/traditional caches and we found 59 throughout Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, and the "Welcome to Nebraska" just to get another state.
