  1. I have actually started putting a note on all my cache pages directing new cachers to a link on how to log trackables. I figure maybe we can educate people on the fly. Copy and paste it to your pages if you like. Be sure to check the html box above the cache description if you do. Cheers! <br /> <br /> If you have found a trackable item and are not sure how to log it, follow this link and read the information on how this works. Please make an effort to properly log travel bugs or geocoins.<br /> <center><strong><em><a href="http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=151" target="_blank"><font face="script mt bold" size="4" color="dark blue">Logging Trackables</font></a></em></strong></center>
  2. I have actually started putting a note on all of my cache pages directing people to a link on how to log trackables. I'm hoping this catches on, and we can educate people on the go. This is what I put on the page. Copy and paste it if you like, but make sure you click the html box above the description when building the page.

  3. I have actually started posting a sort of trackable etiquette on the pages of my trackables. I figure this would help to some degree. I agree that most missing trackables are probably due to new cachers that are uneducated about how it works. Perhaps setting up a mandatory tutorial for people when they first sign up for an account might help. I think some people sign up for the free membership, try it a few times, and decide it's not for them. In the meantime, they have picked up a trackable but don't know what to do with it or how to log it. There are a lot of options for things to try. Maybe setting up a mandatory link on every cache page titled "What to do with trackables" or something to that effect which takes them to the geocaching.com page about them. That wouldn't be too hard to do. Program it to automatically add during the cache setup process.
