I solved a puzzle cache tonight and planned to go and get it, and discovered it needs a wireless beacon. On reading this thread I see iphone has geobeacon. I use an Android phone that has ANT. Does anyone know if there is a app for android yet that will read or interact with the chirp? I'm going to have to file a DNF if I can't get one because I'm not getting a GPS device yet and I don't know anyone with a GPS, let alone whether it would be chirp enabled.

Where can i get a NZ leap year coin to start my collection, or failing that any leap year coin. I am going to a leap year event but I understand there won't be any coins there. Thanks

I agree, I may be a new player too, but as the other cache was close by I think it would be interesting to find. It's like the multi-level puzzle caches, where there could be red herrings.

As a player who has just planted their first couple of caches, this thread has been very interesting as I really didn't know what the story was with giving hints for a FTF. It won't be happening anymore now that I have read the above. I do give a public hint and will continue to do that from time of publishing but the email hints won't be happening until after FTF from now on unless it has been in the field for some time and not found. Thanks for all the interesting comments and opinions. This newbie has learnt a lot

LOL I used table and it worked a treat. It was uploading the photo to the web I was unsure of, and I found I could upload it to the cache page and then use the link to place in in the table and manipulate it

That was one cool log! Love it

Interesting, I didn't realize that not everyone had the ability to ignore caches. Yep. All those smartphone newbies have to look at multi-caches, even though they don't know how to put coordinates for the 2nd and + stages in the phone. Just kidding, it's always been a Premium Feature since the day it came out, very early 2005. The OP is a sock puppet, so I am guessing they do indeed have an ignore list. Note the date the account was created. Just like I predicted, we see about one sock puppet incident a week. We all have to start somewhere, and I believe you, too, were a newbie once. How do we learn if we don't have a go?

Thank you very much, got it sorted now. It was getting the photo uploaded in the first place that had me baffled

Go to WWW.Geocheck.org when (if) it comes back up and follow the instructions. If it doesn't come back, you can use: http://www.geochecker.com/ or one of the other cache checkers on the internet Thank you very much

How do you add geocheck to a web description please

Hi, I am preparing my first cache to hide and I want to put a photo beside a poem but I don't want to make it a background image and cover the whole page. How do I add it to the description of my cache please? I can't seem to find it in help but then, that could be my search skills needing tweeking. Could someone give me some suggestions please

Thanks Ruud4d, that is really good to know. I only have a couple logged yet but I look forward to building up by logged coins and TBs. I know I would be very disappointed to have a log wiped off just because someone chose to start a new goal. I'm putting this info where I can find it again.
