    Where do I get cheap climbing rope in Australia?

    And teamrabbitrun your message came really rude so I would just like to point that out

     

     

    You have just turned down advice which could save your life.

    The people who have answered your queries about cheap gear and then cheap rope have all advised you to get experience and then get your equipment.

    Getting experience is essential.

    Please also consider the people who would have to deal with the aftermath of a fall caused by lack of knowledge. 

    Do not do high risk caches without the correct knowledge. There are plenty more caches to enjoy whilst you are learning how to climb.

    Release Notes (Website: Enhanced Search Results)

    in Geocaching HQ communications

    I have just tried a search similar to VangeRover's. My results were all in the 8600km distance but should have been within 100 miles too. I repeated the search in a new page and the distances changed to something more reasonable. 

    Searching for caches in North West England region results in caches to the NW and N only suggesting the point of searching is not the centre of the region.

    VangeRover, try your search again and see if anything has improved.

    Do Adventure Lab caches work offline?

    LOL  Too late to help the OP but there are some workarounds for doing a (non sequential) lab offline. Linky

    Thank you for the link. We have been doing an adventure in an area with very poor connectivity. I thought we would try your linky and it worked really well and we found the three remaining stages without a connection.

    Solution checker problem

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    Solution for Opera perhaps. It worked for me anyway.

    To access Opera cookies.....

    From the keyboard Alt+P

    Advanced

    Privacy & settings

    Site settings

    Cookies & site data

    See all cookies & site data

    Then look for geocaching.com and recaptcha cookies then www.geocaching.com and www.recaptcha.com further down the list. Delete all 4 sets of cookies.

    Restart geocaching.com and accept all cookies including advertising. I tried without but no success.

    I haven't checked everything but the checker is back and also some of the new dashboard.

    Hope this helps somebody.

    What browser are you seeing this problem with? You say Chrome works okay but don't say what browser isn't. Also what version of Windows are you using? 

     

    Looking online it appears this problem may be caused by out of date software. Is your browser up to date? My personal experience has been that deleting cookies cures a wide range of strange problems so I'd suggest pursuing that further. If I knew what browser you're using I might be able to help.

    My original post said Opera on Windows 8 and Chrome and Firefox as I managed to borrow another computer with Windows 10.

    I think I tried Win8 & Opera then Firefox, Win 10 with Opera, Firefox and Chrome.

    I won't fiddle with the borrowed computer but did the usual refresh / F5 / shut down / restart on the Win8. 

    Then I cleared enough space to load Chrome onto the Win8 computer and that worked although still not with Opera or Firefox. and  not Win10 & Chrome.

    Both computers are up to date as far as I can tell.

    I also tried my friend's non-premium caching name to see if it was just me but got the same results.

    I thought of refusing then accepting all cookies which has worked for some people in the past but I didn't have the cookie options. This looked similar to the other cookie based problems which people are reporting recently. Therefore I can wait for the result of those problems to be sorted and I think the captcha will be sorted too.

    Thanks for the thoughts.

     

     

    Solution checker problem

    My thanks to all who replied.

    Yes, I had done ctrl & F5 and also repeated it several times.

    I thought I was in luck this morning as the checker was back but it lasted for one check only before disappearing again. 

    I went in search of cookies within  my account - settings - cookies and found the page blank. No heading, no cookie information, no options. I have been reading the thread about broken profiles and there seems to be some similarity.

    I have managed to get Chrome onto this aged laptop and that seems to show the checker OK.

    I will now wait and see progress on the broken profile thread.

    Thanks for the help.

    It's the green and grey coloured solution checker at the bottom of a puzzle cache page.

    Everything was OK at breakfast when I was solving some puzzle caches. Then, suddenly, the tick box to show I am not a robot vanished and the error message is Recaptcha validation failed. 

    I have waited, refreshed the page, logged out and back in again, all repeated several times but no luck - and it's been around 10 hours now.

    I'm on limited wifi but have tried to google for an answer without success.

    I'm running Opera on Windows 8 and have tried Chrome and Firefox too.

    Is anybody else seeing this or is it only me?

    Any ideas please?

    Might I ask what "What Three Words" is? New to me.

    Quickly explained here

    https://www.geocachingtoolbox.com/index.php?lang=en&page=w3w

    BUT not very good when trying to communicate the words over a phone. The difference between for example "receivable" and "receivables" could put you a long way from where you actually are.

    Using lat long or other co-ordinates method is generally much easier to communicate as it's a combination of 0, 1, 2, 3  etc rather than a dictionary of words.

    Useful for people who rely on a phone app.

    Now I'm off to hide....

    But something has changed:

     

    3.) When I look at other listings, I no longer see the number of the entries in watchlist. In the past, for example, ther was  "Watch (3)" if three users entered the watch list.

     

    I am working on a mystery which has several people watching. I refreshed the cache and the number of watchers disappeared.

    So I can confirm that something has changed.  I'm using Windows and Opera.

    Aha. Ich hab mal alle geocaching.com Cookies gelöscht, musste mich natürlich neu einloggen und hab dabei alle Cookies erlaubt. Dann geht es. Ist aber ein Bug, sollte auch bei nur notwendigen Cookies funktionieren.

     

    Dankeschön hcy. 

    Mit google translate ....

    Ich sehe auf der Cookie-Seite    "Cookie declaration last updated on 07/10/2020 by Cookiebot:"     

    (07/10/2020 = wenn die Listen fertig sind?)

    und meine Auswahl an Cookies wurde geändert.    

    Durch Hinzufügen von "Statistik" kann ich Listen erhalten

    Danke Google translate ?

    I can't get my lists to load in Opera either.  Help!  I use them as the basis of my caching.

     

    I can confirm that my lists does not open in Opera on either old or new dashboards. It did open until recently.

    Is this time to ask if this is a BUG?
