we did get it though. we still have it, that's what matters.

i thought it was an update, but alas.......

If the travel bug is actually with the owner when they visit a cache, I don't see why it would be any different than another person who moved the travel bug from one cache to another.
what if i left my coin at home or in the car, and it doesn't actually visit EVERY cache, but a majority of them. honestly, it often goes forgotten in my pocket. like at OTB just this week. when i got back to the car, i felt it in my pocket--wishing i would have taken a pic of it at the cache.
-
yea. hooray for jeremy!!!!
but, um, could we put it underneath the other search box at the top of the page? that would be swell.

yes, more TB information and 'abilities'.
as both a cacher and owner, of caches and TBs, the TB logging could be tinkered with.
as a cacher, i visit the cache and do not want to take the TB (for whatever reason), but i still want to log it--to tell the owner 'how cool their TB is' and, yes, it is still in the cache. i take a pic of the # for retrevial later, but forget to 'yank' the TB before i log the cache. so i have to relog the cache (though deleting the log). it would be much easier to just be able to go to the TB page, and make a 'visited' log [to borrow from Waymarking terminology], thus, letting you say what you want and add th TB to your stats.
as an owner, it would allow the TB to be logged, and not involve logging the cache--it would be logged since they visited, but any unnecessary logs.
the drawback about not needing the # is that anyone could sit at home and log all the TBs they wanted without doing anything. so the # should be required for a 'visit'. just a rule of the game.
i am interested in adding a few more items next to the miles travelled. number of cachers visited and number of caches visited. is there some way to figure this out without counting them? what if it has been seen by the same person (group) or cache more than once?
what if TBs could visit waymarks? wouldn't that be incredible? then many bugs would have more options for goals--just think of a TB going to EVERY McDs, just check the category on Waymarking.com.

good to see a compass, not a compass rose for once.
form filled out.

The best practice, if you are unsure, is to open a new browser window and log into your PayPal account from there. The invoice will be listed there, and you can pay it that way.
as with website transactions, i do not respond to emails like thouse in the original post.
if there is a problem, it seems like they would do as amazon does: reset your account, forcing you to say 'i lost my password' and reset it.

i paypaled a few days ago.

i too would be interested in a coin.
-
I've started putting out laminated pictures of my coins to serve as surrogates because I wanted to see coins be out in the field to be found but I feel like a sucker when they disappear. Sadly, even the laminated coins don't circulate as well as I'd like. The good thing is that I can restart them.
this is what i have done to my coins. i read it in another string.
only one has been picked up, according to the site. on is in a 'you gotta do the cache or you won't find it' site. i was just there, adding more coins. the other i have not checked on to see if they are still there. i should know when someone logs their find of it.
people actually want to steal a laminated piece of paper? maybe the future (minority reportesque) will bring technology to punish this sort of theft.
these types of travel bugs have added a whole new aspect to the game of geocaching. when people remove components like this (coins), do they not know they are ruining the game for at least one other person [the owner] if not every other cacher that might encounter the item.

i will take 1 silver.
-
i want 2.

i too would would like stats of this nature.
i guess no matter what you do there is someone that will 'mess it up for everyone'.
maybe there should be a section for honest players, and those that aren't.

I think you can search by coordinates by adding coordinates as an origin. From there you can search by origin. Premium members get 25 origins if I am remembering correctly.
it is nice to learn of the origins thing. however, it would be nice if the search returned a listing of closest to coords to farthest (as on GC.com).
personally, i am looking forward to a Waymarking.com map system. i find that searching by the map is better for finding which way to go (routing). maybe i just like the little icons, and waymarks can provide a better picture with all the different icons already out there.
vacation marking will be an acceptable act. i waymarked 2 disc golf courses in augusta (ga) while on vacation. if these courses were to close, someone would state as much in a log. i could
in short: i should never have to visit the site again after Waymarking. there is no DNF in Waymarking. either you found it or it does not exist anymore--you just missed it.
just a note: in logging my waymarks, i made some double logs by mistake. no way to delete them, just archive them. the 2 logs on a single waymark did not affect my stats. so: if i eat at a McDonalds by the place that i work, i can log it every time and my stat # will not increase, but the log count will.

there is a 'bicycle shop' category, so why not have these categories:
Motorcycle Garage
Motorcycle Retailer
Motorcycle Gear Outlets
Motorcycle Orgnization Establishments
Motorcycle Factories
just making a suggestion........
-
if one owns a lot of caches, travel bugs (or coins), or waymarks that would be popular and incur a number of notification emails in a short period of time, could they not be compiled until the end of the perscribed time, and then emailed to the owner.
there are various options that could also be incorporated into email notification personalization (ie: only notify of specific log types [pick up/drop], Found, DNF, Note, Mark as Archived, Destroied {but wait, you can't watch a benchmark can you?}, Visited, etc.)
-
yes, and last night when i was making my logs, i took a break to eat...when i started logging again, many of the logging requirements had changed(ie: include a pic of your gps or watch with a time stamp to prove you went there, but as the waymark owner, posting pics when i made the mark, kind of proves i went there....and if they want to cause a fuss over it i can EMAIL them the pic file which will have the time stamp in the file info, as well as the camera model used to take the pic.....
McDs marks also now ask what you had to eat......good thing i only eat a few things there.....
-
a while back, i had an email stating one of my waymarks had a note posted. when i went there, it was gone....i found it, as archived...i emailed the poster, it was just encryption testing--it did not work.
so i just tried to encrypt a post to a water tower, it did not work either.
-
amen brother.
i am the only one in GA playing. so not only is noone visiting my waymarks, i have none to go visit.....
it comes down to the searching capabilities. GC.com is easy to search many different ways. people are 'used' to that, and thus, quit using the site.
i am not in it for fame or glory, i like to visit places and see things i would not otherwise notice. Waymarking is filling in the gaps where caches are not allowed or are being outlawed. it opens the hunt to all kinds of new treasures, if only i could find a map.
-
are their plans to include the average user rating of waymark logs on the waymark page?
could there be a stat box so that premium members might be able to see how many approve/disapprove a waymark category? if you played with the filter, you might could figure it out, but it has already been compiled, hasn't it?
this would let me know that posting waymarks in a category that noone will be able to see is stupid--now it is set on 100%, so i can see everything, but what can basic members see?
all these votes being cast, no way to view the results......
-
the cache, for old, unused jails, exists....and should be transfered at some point.....but it might be nice to have seperate categories for old/unused jails and ones that contain prisoners.
just imagine, trying to get to an internet connection in jail so that you might log your visit..........
-
yes, but the problem with that is that McCafe exists in more countries than OZ. NZ has them i know.....other 'european like societies' might have them as well.......and i do believe that i heard a news story about opening them in the US.
It is a great idea for a category, but limiting it to one country might not be good. Another point is, that these would also fit in the coffee house category (if one is to be created), would they not?
-
i am still confused as to logging (visiting) waymarks......
i obviously had to visit the site to get coords & take a pic.....
so then, unless the category says you CAN NOT log the waymark you created, is it logical to log(visit) the waymark?
in the fountain category, the description states that it is ok to log your own waymarks, however, this is the only thing i have seen on the site stating anything about logging marks you created.
in the Waymarking as a game/'getting points in the game of Waymarking' string, it states that you can not get FTF points for your own waymark--you just got points for creating it, so that makes sense--but you should still be compensated for your 'efforts' with more than a single point though.....this does rely heavily on point structure in place......

every thing in NZ is nice. let it stay as long as possible......
as with all the former britich colonies, many location names and the 'style of urbanization' is very similar.....
google NZ yourself and see what you like....
then ther is always the LOTR tour..the whole country was used...
take it bungee jumping in queensland....
craters of the moon...
matamata
an all blacks game (or the christchurch crusaders)..
stewart island
i could go on.........................................................................

gotta love the currency and tokens found along the way. coins make you learn things.
