I was attempting to use the Waymarker site and now i am locked out of my Geocaching profile. The only thing i can access now is this forum. The forgot your password is a closed loop.
If I attempt to reset my PW I get a message asking if I am human with no way to go beyond that page other than Facebook which i don't have

Your profile on Waymarking shows you have one Visit log to the Waymark The War of the Worlds in Weird Story Locations.
The nearest Virtual cache is 1938.
There is a Mystery (?) cache by the same name as the Waymark.
It is very interesting that you can see my account and tell me what I have as a count but I can not sign in at all. I an getting a note that my UN and PW are incorrect. I have rest the PW and gotten a validation code all to no avail.
It is a closed loop.

No, Waymarking is completely separate from Geocaching. If you got a warning that you had already recorded the geocache, then it has nothing to do with any nearby waymarks that you may have recorded.
I recorded 1938 in West Windsor NJ in 2011 as a Virtual and now see it listed as a Waymarker. When I went to log it as a Waymarker, just to test to see what would happen, that is when I got the message that I had already logged it.
I guess my question is when logging a Waymarker do they show up on my total count to date or not. If not where do they get recorded?

Is the Waypoint membership additional to the Geocaching membership?
I attempted to sign in using my Geocaching ID and it came back invalid.
If you mean "Waymarking", there's an entire forum about it:

Do Waymarkings accrue the same as caches. I ask this because when I looked at a local Waymarking that had also been a cache when I started caching and went to record it I got a message " you have already recorded this. When I originally logged it it was logged as a cache.

The gain for preloading a PQ into the phone is that it's possible to cache with no coverage. I hate when I forget to load a pq and I know there are caches around but have no service and haven't loaded a pq.
And yes, having a gps preloaded with the pq is the best of all. But you need a computer to do that. If I find myself in an unexpected location, I can run a pq from my phone, download it to the phone, and then be ready to cache. I just need to do it before I venture off the beaten path out of cell phone coverage!
One more question.
If you load a PQ how does the I phone distinguishes between and display only the PQ caches and not the caches in general that are in the area you are in.
-
But if you put your phone into airplane mode, the gps won't work. You have to let it keep searching for service, even if there is none, and this eats up your battery life quickly. I always bring an external battery because of this!
So if understand it what one gains by loading a PQ into the phone is just better response time for a given search while searching for the information of a cache while in a dead cell phone area.
That may be worth it.

Depends on which app, but you should have the option to save a Field Note, which can be sent later, and then logged on site.

You may want to read this article from the Help center: http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=430
Now that is great and Thanks.
How do I shut the cell service off while using this? Just go to airplane mode?
Can I assume that while in the field I can log my finds and comments that will be saved as pending till I get back to cell coverage?

With the geocache app for iPhone, do a search for the geocaches in the area you want to visit. Once they are on your phone, save them to an off line list. You can open this list without having to use cellular data, or wifi.
If I can ask you to go into greater detail. How and where do I define the area I want to copy? And what is saving to an off line list.

I have heard several mention that there is a way to use the I Phone for cache hunting in areas with weak or no cellphone coverage. Caching without using data time on the I Phone. If this is possible can someone give me some details as to how to do it?

All Letterbox Hybrid (LBH) caches will include a stamp that remains in the container and that is used by letterboxers to record their visit. (Letterboxers apply the letterbox's stamp to their personal log book, and apply their personal stamp to the letterbox's logbook.)
The LBH caches I've done have used letterbox-style clues as part of the hunt. I had to go to a specific location (not just a general location like a parking lot or a park entrance), and then follow clues that described the path to where the container could be found. But I've also found other caches that used letterbox-style clues but were not LBH caches.
And I've seen listings for LBH caches where there are no letterbox-style clues. You just go to the posted coordinates and search for the container, which happens to have a stamp in it. But I've also found other caches that included stamps but were not LBH caches.
Got it Thanks. Now to find one.

What is a letter box cache and how does it differ from a normal cache?
-
When I have the map open I can no longer click on a given cache and have it open to the description of that cache.
The pointer is a hand, not an arrow, and only scrolls in on the map as I click it.

It appears I have found the answer. If yu are using Safari in Privaye mode it will require the use of a user name and password. If however you are not Geocaching.com will open using auto fill.
It also appears you can move back and forth between Private and none Private mode and the user name and password will be retained and available in the none Private mode. This even survives a shutdown of the I phone and a clearing of history.
A Tech at Apple solved the problem.

I would go into the iPhone Settings, and look at the safari menu. Make sure cookies are enabled. If they are, I would use the option in that menu and delete website data. It is possible that a Cookie or the browser cache is corrupted. I might even restart the phone after shutting it down completely. From there I would go into safari, rather than your homescreen link and log into the site. After dong that, when you close down safari and reopen it within the browser(not the homescreen icon) does the site retain your information? If it does, try out the link. If your link does not work, I would delete the problematic homescreen link and make a new one.
If, after doing that, the homescreen link does not work but you are automatically logged into the site when going through the browser, I might decide to use a browser bookmark rather than a homescreen link.
Cookies are enabled for sites I visit.
Opened in Safari and set a bookmark. Used the bookmark to the I Phone and the same issue, it asks me to login.

I have an icon on my phone that opens Geocaching.com. When that site opens it asks for my user name and password. Yes there is a box "keep me signed in" that has NO EFFECT on future logins. I have another icon on my phone that opens directly to "Find Nearby Caches". It appears to be a bookmarked page of my account because it has my user name and caching totals noted at the top.
My question is how do I get my home page in Geocaching.com to open with the same level of convenience?
Have you tried deleting website data and then re-entering the log in information (assuming that cookies are enabled)? What are your safari settings? Does this occur when you open the website page through a browser, as opposed to a home screen link?
I have no idea what your question is asking. I open the site through an icon on my desktop. It open Geocaching.com

It does not appear that I can insert a picture unless it is has a URL. I have the picture if someone can tell me how to include it.
Copy and paste is not an option

My question is can I get to this (equivalent) site on my I Phone without have to put in my user name and password?
I access this page from my iphone, using Safari and alternative browsers, without a problem. Once I log in, the site generally recognizes me. I assume you have allowed cookies for the sites you visit (in settings) and checked the box in the log-in screen to allow the site to remember you. Beyond that, you might try clearing the web site data (in settings) so that you remove the history, cookies, and the browser cache and try it again.
I don't know whether I am not stating the problem correctly or the masses are not understand what I am saying.

If i may ask.
How do I determine if I have the paid app or the free app? I have 2 sites set on my desk top. One opens directly to the Find Nearby Geocaches and presents a map at my current location. NO need to sign in as it open to my user name. The second opens to Geocaching.com and requires me to sign in, which is a pain in the butt considering it is on my I Phone, who else do they thick would be opening it.
If someone can tell me how to open Geocaching.com without the need to sign in I will be a happy cacher.

The first suggestion refers to a different problem I was having on a friends I Phone.
The second was on this topic but did not answer the question to a point that I could get the site to open without having to fill in my user name and password.

I much prefer the design of the paid app, cleaner less cluttered and is easier to click on the cache icons to quickly see if its a micro thus one to skip. Finding a cache worth finding is always the hardest part. I do hate the tiny search radius it has though.

Found it Thanks. I lost it while setting up bookmarks on Fire Fox

I had a bookmark for a site that listed all of my finds and statistics by date, state, and type. I lost that bookmark and don't know how to recover it. If you understand what I am looking for please advise.
Project-GC? Poor design, IMO. I can't find anything out about it without logging in. No page that tells you what they do.
Looks like the right area. What I am looking for are the maps by State of my finds.

in How do I...?

I foundered around and got back into my Geocaching page. Have no ideas about the waymarker site and will not risk attempting to find out.
