  1. In order not to post the same stuff again, look here
  2. Nice one. I don't qualify (only have 11) and to my surprise there's one Belgian cache in there. Might have to do with the 63Km, 63WPs Most are in the Falklands and one in Greenland.. seems logical.
  3. No problem here. 10 PQs ran this morning (00.15 servertime) and downloaded fine via API (GSAK).
  4. Not even after 4.5 years after the previous post in this thread
  5. More geocaching than previous years? Yes... 1464 caches found broke our 2011 record of 1226 BUT... More geocaching than previous years? No... we only had 73 cachingdays which is only the 7th most days out in 14 years. We still have a few days to go (I'll go for one today to fill the calendar).
  6. The fact remains that a finder can almost never know if the paper inside a container was placed by the CO or by someone who replaced a missing log. The finder signed the log in good faith so the online log should stand. In the case of the TS I would add all the CO's caches to my ignore list and don't think twice about it. especially if there are enough other caches to find.
  7. Were previous logs also deleted? There was a "scrap of paper with many names". So it comes down to allowing the logs on the scrap of paper (all of them) or not allowing them and delete the online logs (all of them). Deleting just one still remains petty to me. Where do you draw the line? I've signed pieces of paper added by previous finders where the original log was wet/full. Valid find or not? I've signed rolls of paper that "might" be added by previous finders as they were blank paper and other logrolls had the cache's name printed on them. Can I know or should I check with the CO that the paper inside a container is the original log? Can I even know that a micro with log roll was placed by the CO if it looks exactly like the other caches of a series? I will gladly log a DNF on a missing container but if I find a container with log at the given or calculated coordinates I'll mark it as a find. Let me add that I will not and have not logged a missing cache because the CO allowed it when a cache was missing.
  8. No matter if I know the CO or not, I will post a NM if I find a cache with a piece of paper that doesn't look like the log the CO placed. NM logs are meant to alert the CO of problems with the cache and shouldn't bee seen as anything more than that. Deleting the online log because of a NM is kind of petty anyway.
  9. Please don't. In the past we had items in TV programs about geocaching and the immediate result was an influx of new cachers. Many had the attentionspan of a goldfish finding some caches and then placing bad containers in bad locations. Very soon many caches had problems (disappeared, wet log) and no maintenance was done as they already left the hobby. Of course some remain active but each time there was media attention the amount of problematic cachers increased. The good thing is that the media attention soon faded away .
  10. One near me had the coordinates in the "comment" section of the additional WP. I was inspecting the obvious places in the listing without seeing "it" and started to scroll down... it then hit me... The other 58 were solved very fast. I do prefer mysteries that take more effort though. I've been working on and off on an Harry Potter geo-art for months. Haven't seen the movies/read the books so I need to look up everything. I just hope the series is not archived before I'm done.
  11. Really? Thanks but no thanks. BTW, if I untick "Remove message center icon top right" in GClh the MC works and I block just about everything that can be blocked (NoScript, Ghosthery, AdBlock...)in FF 83 64bit.
  12. Although all "finds " were deleted the account still has 125 souvenirs. That bug doesn't seem to get solved.
  13. If it were published here it would be on my todo list
  14. Find count is going down slowly. 3128 left.
  15. Account is locked now. 3138 Finds in 59 countries and all continents ....
  16. Clearly bogus. They logged mostly archived caches placed in 2002 and all around the world. Santa trial run? Time to delete and report to HQ as it doesn't seem to be an old account being split up.
  17. Je bedoelt "reviewer"? Dat zijn ervaren cachers maar meestal maken ze een apart account aan (vandaar de 0 found / 0 placed) als reviewer.
  18. First, geocaching is still free. As for your example, if the CO lost interest and is no longer active he/she should have archived the cache and removed it. If the cache has a problem (wet/full log, broken container...) there's probably not going to be maintenance (a throwdown is not maintenance). If a NM is posted there will not be a OM and a reviewer will archive the cache anyway. Would it make a difference if the CO was still active? The cache might still be PM only. In case you're in an area with few caches, what's the problem with just that one cache, aren't there enough other caches to find? Anyway, PM is only a fraction of the yearly cost of geocaching, internet access, transport, phone/GPS..... costs are a lot more important.
  19. I did that with GSAK but I'm sure there's some kind of way to do it on project-gc.
  20. It's called a projection. Many GPS models can do this. If not there's GCC (Android) and Geocaching toolbox that you can use.
  21. Een oud zeer. GC denkt dat het centrum van de wereld in Seattle is. 7u45 is 22u45 de vorige dag voor hen. Ik heb geen idee hoe het met de apps zit maar o.a. met GSAK (via API) wordt het tijdstip van de logs aangepast zodat de datum steeds correct is. Dit probleem is nog erger voor Australie en Nieuw Zeeland omdat daar het tijdsverschil nog veel groter is.
  22. We don't do AL's (and AL bonus caches are going straight to the ignore list).
  23. We are at 3.99 caches/day this year (1245 finds) but it doesn't feel like we did more caching than other years. I'll have to run some stats to be sure but I think we had more "high find number" days this year because we stayed closer to home in spring and found several nearby series we otherwise would not have done. We did less longer multi's because we don't have any "good" ones nearby. Also, not having a 3-4 week holiday meant we didn't have our usual low find count when abroad.
  24. Go to the "old" page, that still works. I wish GS would test things before implementing them on production. We're not betatesters.
  25. Mapsource is geen extentie. .gpx .dbx .gdb .rou .unl zijn extenties die door mapsource gebruikt worden. Er is dus iets duchtig mis. Zoals eerder aangehaald, de PQ (zip) bevat 2 *.GPX files en die kopieer je naar de Garmin/GPX folder, niets meer en niets minder. Vergeet mapsource.
