You should read the FAQ section in the blog about this promo. Your question will answered. At the top where it says Update from HQ.

I think you can use this link https://www.geocaching.com/freetrial/ and enter the code there. I’ve used this one in the past with no need to cancel my recurring. Entered the code from the certificate and my membership was then extended a year with no issue.

If you have Cachly you could use the highlight feature. Choose one of the colors and rename it ‘challenges signed but not qualified’. Then, using the list feature, display them all on the map in Cachly. Once they are all displayed use the hamburger button and choose highlight/add highlight/all caches then choose the color. Those will then show up on the map with that colored line under the pin so when you see it on the map you’ll know it’s one of those caches you’ve signed already so no need to go back and revisit. I love this feature and use it for field puzzles, large size, night cache and many other things.

I have been able to turn the exclamations to smiles by going to the cache page, select edit log, tap/click in the log to make changes but then don’t make any, select submit log entry, click back on the cache title to go back to the cache page. Check my list and it’s now updated to a smile. I’m sure most people won’t do this but the exclamations annoyed me. 😊 A temporary workaround that may work for you too but if you have a lot of them it could take a while to do all of them. It’s only been happening to some of my logs.

You can make a copy of your favorites list which will then be a new sortable list. You can delete it when you’re done with it. edit: last found does not equal found by you so never mind. This doesn’t work

I just had this happen to me. I had turned off one of my adventures for a while to make some changes and yesterday set it back to public but could not get It to show up on the map. Even deleted the app which did not help. I finally went back to the builder, hit the edit button for that adventure, made NO changes then selected Update Adventure and it is now showing up in the app.

On the dashboard click the link ‘go back to the old page’ near the top. You will be taken to the old dashboard page. On the right side there are labeled sections starting with Hello Bonecrusher1976. Go to the section with the heading ‘Community’. Click view your stat bar. Page will open with the stat bar and HTML code you can copy into your profile page.

I have a cache with low health score. I disabled it, replaced it, enabled it and also did an owner maintenance log which I thought would clear the LHS. How do you get rid of the Low Health Score message. What else needs to be done?

I found one of those Dinosaur Train caches but of course the one I found did not have the Partnership attribute. GC2B3CH Wonder why this one was not included? Seems like it was part of this series.

Reading through this forum and looking at the builder document I think I can edit a location but would like if someone who has tried this can answer here. One of the objects in my AdLab moved to a new location and is no longer within a reasonable walkig distance. I assume I can do either of the following: 1. Edit the coords of that stage to match the new location 2. Edit the entire location with new coords/New title/New image/New question as long as I DO NOT delete the stage (trash can button) I am free to edit all aspects of it. Just looking for confirmation. TIA

If you have an iPhone and the Cachly app this can be done by editing the find time of some of the caches found on that date. Not sure how many finds you have but scrolling all the way back to 2017 in the app may take some time. I've found this happens if I save some as drafts and also send a log right away without a draft. Using two different mothids on the same day tends to screw up the ordering due to the time sequence. Logs posted with drafts I believe are just posted with a set time of 12:00 PM whereas a send now log uses the actual time it was posted to the site. Hope that makes sense.

As previously mentioned, it's disappointing I can no longer see archived caches hidden by firends or even from my own list of finds. Every event I've attended I can now no longer see the cache page. Please bring this feature back. There are many reasons to look at archived caches including puzzle solving. The filter says 'Active or Archived" but all you get is active with no way to choose just archived and no way to show both 'Active AND Archived'. I wish there was some way to allow beta testers to try these features first and provide feeback before they were rolled out to everyone.

I tested sending myself an email to a text on my phone from Yahoo and it worked. I then set up mynumber@mobilecarriername.com as spelled out in the help center. I did this under email preferences in my profile. However, it now says 'verify this address'. I have clicked that link and received a text message from geocaching.com. I clicked the link in the text to validate it but it does not validate. It just returns to 'verify this address'. Since I can't get my number validated it is not available as a choice in the email selection when setting up a notification. Has anyone been able to set this up recently?

I think what you've found is a letterbox hidden using a different site. and not a geocache. On that site is a user named SeerMeesh and this may be theirs. You can contact them through that site by username saying you found it by accident. Not sure I can mention the site's name here so if you'd like I'd be happy to send you the link if you message me

Locations for nonsequential Adventures are numbered, ensuring it is clear in which order they can be accessed. Is this a typo? Shouldn't it be for sequential that are numbered? Nonsequential can be done in any order. therefore no numbering needed. I did check a sequential AL and the numbers are there which is a great addition IMO.

Thanks Max! I will be paying extra attention while watching . Oh sorry, I meant my friend will be.

Is GIFF 2021 a souvenir moment? Asking for a friend.

I agree with this. If they are hidden by the user someone viewing their profile will only see the number that are shown. I had a discrepancy myself of 1 where PGC showed 1 more than I was seeing on my public profile. When I went to my souvenirs from my dashboard (on the right side menu) I found the one that was hidden. Once I chose to show it all the numbers lined back up.

Any word if previously recorded scores are going to be corrected? Mine is still showing 450 versus the new and improved score of 750 for finding a cache with 10+ FPs.

So I found 1 cache today to reach the basecamp of Elbron. A mystery with 16 FPs. I thought I would get 650 points for finding a mystery but I only received 450 because the cache had more than 10 FPs. I'll now have to work harder to find caches that have less than 10 FPs if their cache type base value is higher than 450. I think the code should be adjusted where if you find a mystery (or EC or LB) with more than 10 FPs you still get the full 600 points (or 750 or 550). The EC I have on my hit list for Saturday has 12 FPs so I am going to lose another 300 points. Can this be adjusted please?

Maybe the bonus is to solve the equations on the trackables themselves? I found three and have solved Buddies Squared and Irrational Love of Pi. I think I need more info to solve Acutie on Duty. I suppose that could qualify as a 'special math bonus'.

From the promo page: Lastly, there might just be a special math bonus if you’re able to find all five trackables. Get out there and start your own math adventure. There’s a whole world of math love waiting for you. <3 Does anyone know what the special math bonus is if you find all five?

How can this link be edited to filter by a certain cache type? Suppose I want to only see my/some else's multi cache finds?

I have noticed this as well. If I do a normal search (using play/search) then yes, I can tick the boxes and add to a list. If I go to another users profile and then select their list of geocache finds I am also presented these tick boxes but placing a check in them does nothing. It does not give me the option to add to one of my lists. The plus signs also do not work from these lists created from another user's profile. They DO work when doing a search - using play/search. I wanted to place all of a users caches on a list by going to their profile and viewing their list of hidden caches but they can't be added this way. I had to use Play/Search and add the filter Hidden By. However, this only gives active caches and not their entire catalog of hides. If I want to add the archived ones I need to type in the GC number in search then add to a list from the cache page. I am guessing the reason the tick boxes and plus signs do not work form the profile for both finds and hides has something to do with archived caches being part of these lists.

Yep, been like that since the dawn of the app. Would be much more convenient if when you searched a new area if the list presented those search results but, as you found for yourself, it doesn't. It would be easier to get an overview of the available labs in that area instead of having to click the green pin for each one.
