[Undeleteable list in app]

It might be helpful to tell what type of phone you have and what version of the OS  and app you are using.

I have not tried this because I don't get Geocache notices.

[Missing logs, other elements from cache pages]

Ok, could you please explain to the geocaching community worldwide why all these issues occured at the cache pages? For the time being I have seen no messages from HQ or lackeys at all in the threads about the website bugs. Geocaching is a major hobby for many of us, for you it's work as well. I hope to geocache for many years to come.
 

It would be nice to know whether it was a technical failure or someone who pressed the wrong button. In any case, something to learn from for HQ.

 

 

Why? What would you do with this information and how would it help you? Just curious, what is your favorite development platform?

[Forums feature on profile page:]

If by "forums feature" you mean the button that says "View Forum Posts", it will display your forum posts.  Since you had none there was nothing to display.  Since you have made a post it should show that one but there might be a lag time for it to register.

[Brute force attack on certitude]

Combination lock is undefined.

[Improvement proposal: digital logging of geocaches instead of on paper]

I'm always intrigued when brand new players want to make changes to the game. Very few of the suggested changes are improvements.

[PLEASE Bring BACK ability to POST a general NOTE when creating a new cache page.]

Are you not able to post a note after the cache is posted?

[What's the etiquette around maintenance of caches you don't own?]

Among other things Geocaching is a social game.  There is nothing wrong with a cacher  assisting cacher if both agree.

[Posting images in the found log]

Somehow your message got messed up and appears as white text in black making it very difficult to read. What is your question?

[Log Premium cache found with Premium Member]

How did you log your other 9100+ finds?

[Trail names not showing on iOS]

Please give an example.

 

 

[Garmin device]

Jusr for you:

 

Hi.  Is there a Garmin device that supports adding longer text than "Found it"?  Where I can enter a long text, log, that I always use to log the geocache.  Well thank you.

 

I looked at a couple of your logs. If you would limit you comments to finding the cache you wouldn't need such a Garmin.  

[Your thoughts on mystery geocaches]

Which is ironic because in one sense every geocache is a puzzle. 

[Bug: No link to log in "Log Deletion" mail]

You already posted this is a different thread.

[Apparent inconsistent forum display of unread posts]

While anything is possible it would seem unlikely 4 or 5 consecutive different users would not be logged in. I was wondering if multiple servers are used and they get out of sync?

[Apparent inconsistent forum display of unread posts]

I usually check the forums at least once a day and check for "Unread Content since last visit."  It's not unusual to be presented with unread posts that are several months old.  Today in the thread about web cameras, the oldest one presented as unread was posted in March. In addition there were 5 or 6 subsequent posts that were not presented until something happened to trigger the system to offer the posts today.  Can some explain how or why this happens?

[Is cache adoption a legal transfer of property?]

No, I had him adopt it.  I get what you are saying, but I didn't see any 'and they own your cache'.  So I call the police... I can prove it is mine... there is no document transferring private ownership of my property. I guess when someone is a greedy steward of your cache, these things get complex.

That seems unnecessarily harsh. You mention there is no documentation of the transfer. What ownership document do you have?

["Write Note" Log Type Option Needed]

A single report of a very minor issue with a simple work around. I’m not sure why you  think this should require an immediate response from the hamsters.  

["Caches placed after" filter doesn't appear to be working.]

The example you cite was placed on 26 May 2023.

[Geocache was placed on private property]

I’m glad someone was able to recognize sarcasm. Thanks Hügh!

[Geocache was placed on private property]

Gee, mister property owner, we are sorry we violated your property rights but you need to understand that we have internal practices that don’t allow us to help you for at least thirty days. Should you need any additional information please use the terms that we use. We don’t delete caches because we want to maintain a record of illegal caches along with our other cashes, so please use the term “archive.”  BTW, I have seen caches retracted in the past. 

 

What the hell happened to common sense?

I have a geocache near a school here's what I've done to help it not be muggled: 

Added Bell Times to the description

Proximity issues with a cache to a school have nothing to cache safety. It has everything to do with student safety. 

[Not loading multi caches]

It would be useful if you could provide some details: What OS and GPS are you using?  Are the caches loaded but just aren’t displayed? Have you checked the GPS filters?

[How do I find who might be responsible for an abandoned cache?]

If you didn’t note the coordinates with your phone use Google maps to get an approximate location. Ask your reviewer if there is or was a cache in that area.
