Also would like to note that on a phone display as in the OP's post, the hamburger menu can no longer be scrolled so I can't get to the last column to sort by "Placed Date". This had worked prior to the change on April 20. If I want to search for the oldest caches in a state I must use a third party app to do it whereas before this change to the Search, I could use the website on my phone and scroll to the end of the hamburger menu list and then select "Placed On" and hit the column to change the sort order. Can this please be looked into as well. I use an iPhone7 v14.4.2 so the screen is small and all the choices do not fit.

If you are not making a bonus cache (or even if you are) you could always turn the entire adventure off temporarily and disable the bonus cache until the river is back to safer levels. Once everything returns to normal just re-enable the bonus cache (if you have one) and turn the adventure back on to 'public'. That way, no one will miss out on your ultra cool location, which, btw, I can't wait to come find out what it is. I would be upset to read about this ultra cool location in other people's logs knowing I missed out on it because the stage had been temporarily changed to something else.

This is still there. Just presented differently. When looking at your friends list of found caches there is a smiley over the type icon indicating if you've already found it. However, there is no indication you are looking at someone else's list unless you look in the URL. This should be displayed in the list header. What I will miss is the column "Last Found". I like to look at my list of geocache finds and then see if anyone has found the cache since I've been there. This cannot be done on this new list view. Can you please add this column to the "All Geocache Finds" list? As mentioned previously, it would be great if the end user could choose which columns they would like displayed and in what order then save the view. Also, add a filter box for Found Date (similar to Placed Date filter) so you could jump to a section in the list.

Sounds to me that you create drafts when caching and then log your finds later. If you are also doing an Adventure Lab at the same time, those finds are added to your total in real time. So, if you started the day with 2996 finds and found 4 caches and saved them as 'drafts', the fourth draft would be your 3000th cache. But, you also found 5 adventure labs which registered immediately making your total 3001 before logging your drafts. All you really need to do is go into your milestones and select the cache that was your intended 3000th cache. It doesn't matter that the lab caches were registered before your official 3000th cache log was created. It really is just a number at the time of logging. You know which cache was your intended 3000th, so tell the site which one it is by locking in your milestone. No one is going to know after the fact that you logged 5 adventure labs before you changed your draft log into an official 'found it' log. This just happened to me for my 6000th. cache. If you look at my milestones you will see which cache I chose. Because I also did an adventure lab before converting my 6000th cache find draft to an official Found It log, a lab cache was listed as my milestone. I simply went into the milestones and changed it to the intended cache. It's no big deal. I really don't understand all the angst towards lab caches. They have always counted as one smiley per lab stop before there was even an app. I also don't think they should be compared to multis. They are each their own separate cache type for a reason. Multis have multiple stages for one find. Each lab stop counts as a find. It's always been this way, hasn't it? At least since I joined in 2012. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide which caches you want to seek and how much effort you want to put into seeking those caches. Personally, I think labs are a really fun addition to the game. Most everyone I know loves the 5 easy finds and can't seem to get enough of them.

Is this it? It is a Pathtag. Not a geocoin and only trackable on that site. It's a swag item you can keep or deposit in another cache. Me, I would keep it.

True. I used my phone to capture a screenshot of geocaching.com Is this a better screenshot? This is from my chromebook. I think that qualifies as a pc.

You can still page through them by choosing “View all logs” located right above the most recently recorded log.

I notice sometimes my watchlist ( and the entire lists section) is not accessible from my dashboard as it should be. When I am on a cache page then click my user name in the top right it goes back to my dashboard but the entire list section is missing. If I hit refresh it appears. Depending on how I navigate to my Dashboard it is there the first time but it seems clicking my user name from a cache page causes this issue as well as clicking my user name from within my profile. I get the same results using both Chrome and Edge. If I scroll down quickly I see it is there but then it disappears. Refreshing in Chrome seems to work but does not in Edge. I can live with the refreshing of the screen to find it but was just wondering if this is a problem for any one else.

I have never used this tag in any log I've written for a FTF. Instead, I place them on a public bookmark list and Project-GC has never had an issue with finding them. I prefer this method as I don't like the way this {*FTF*} looks in logs. You just need to set up the list then reference it in the Project-GC settings. You do not need to be a paying member (on PGC) to access this feature. A bookmark list also allows me to make additional notes, number them for my own reference or map them, all on geocaching.com.

Use CTRL + mouse wheel. It's like magic

Well, no. I didn't. I feel like such a dolt. It even works with the scroll wheel. Thanks bfj for teaching me something new.

Using the "Search" option filters...Why can't I type in the dates I'd like to search between? It is very cumbersome to have to click through every month since May of 2000 to get to the current year. That's about 240 clicks to get to the current month. Can this please be changed to allow typing of the date in the box? My work around is to use Cachly which I use for most all my searches anyway but would still like to see this changed. I understand this is a worldwide game and the U.S. uses an odd date format compared to the rest of the world. This is probably the reason why you can't currently type in that field, but couldn't you add a date format preference so that searching by date could be a much more useful feature?

It’s a test copy of the adventure lab. If you go to the list of adventures you will see there are two listed for the same lab (if the lab is set to public) Swipe to the left on the test tube icon version and it will disappear. Back on the map you will now only have the green pin

I'm sure they are listening. I only meant that someone thought it was a great idea and now it's a flop. So back to the drawing board. It took me two seconds to figure out what the gear/star meant because I read the app update info in the app store. That info is available to everyone. They are probably hard at work right now writing and testing code to filter out found adventures. I personally think a smiley face ? instead of green check mark would be more fun. But only until I can filter those out.

I bet the developers just love reading these comments. Probably a lot of heavy sighing going on in Seattle.

Or just do the regional search as above then click the column header "Placed On" until the oldest dates are at the top of the list. You can then check the box for each cache you want to search for and add them to a list.

Try typing in the name of your province in the search. It should appear in a list and say -Regional Search behind it. Click that choice then continue by adding the date filters.

Well what do you know...that worked. Thanks Max. Although I swear I tried that before and it did not work. Must just be me. Problem solved.

I have had this issue for quite some time. Not sure how many people use this function since it was added in 2017, but I would like to tag one of my friends in a log. When I use the @ sign in front of the user's name, I only get a list of 10 friends and never the one I want because they are further down on the list and are not presented for me to choose. Can someone tell me how to get the rest of my friends to populate in this list? Also, once the list comes up I have to pick one of the names presented or I cannot get the window to close. If I just type @ and the user name I want then the link functionality doesn't flow through.

Thanks for this very helpful tip!

I realize it's up to the creator of the bonus cache but wouldn't it make sense to have all BONUS geocaches therefore be set to non-premium?

No, I’m not guessing. That‘s what it says in the App Store when you click an app to see what features the latest update brings.

The gear icon means it was a lab published within the last 30 days

More Wishes: 1. When using the Explore tab (bottom left) I can move the map and then "Search this Area" to be shown all the Adventure Lab pins at a new location. I then have to open each pin to see the adventure name and details. Would love to use the hamburger menu in the top right of the Explore tab to see these adventures as a list but unfortunately when I do this it just reverts back to my home coordinates. 2. As an Adventure Lab player, on a completed lab I can go to the activity log, edit my log and view the star rating for the adventure. Looks like anything above 4.5 is shown as 5 stars on the home screen of the Adventure but by choosing to edit my log I can see that an Adventure may be rated 4.8 of 5 stars even though displayed as 5 front facing. I would like the ability to see this in my own adventure. I suppose I could if I completed my own Adventure as many have but I haven't yet done this.

I noticed this too and find it a very odd change. My preferred view would be if I could just see ALL users who favorited the cache in one list without having to page through them. Allowing me to sort the view by alpha order/date found/join date would make it even better.
