In the normal search results you can sort by placed date.
In the list view you can also sort by placed date. It's the field furthers to the right.
In the list view of a Pocket Queries you can also sort by placed date
Thanks. I use Android on smartphone so unfortunately can't see List in that way unless I'm back at PC.

Does anyone have a way of sorting a List of Events so that it comes up in date order please?
I have private list of relatively nearby Event but can only sort using usual List features ie Distance from me, Geocache name and Favourite points.
Given high number of Leap Year events popping up it would be really useful.

The stage name/location is a critical piece of information that needs to be added to the email. Especially when the functionality is "Can't complete stage"
Agree stage name/location is key.
I just had report on one of my series which simply states "physical object isn't there."
I've therefore no idea which object at which location of the five.
Also it's not easy to reply quickly.
Could user name of sender be hyperlink so that CO could choose to respond via messaging or email? I had to "search for other player" to find profile, slowing process ++.

Edit: of course this would happen! Shortly after writing the message above I went back to the email from Lee and the attachment opened to a YouTube presentation. But I could not hear very much of the conversation ,the male voice pretty much but the other I could only hear noise, not recognizable content.
Subtitles/ closed captions work if thatmight help? Very small but readable.

Looking at friends' recent finds has been possible by clicking from their profile to Geocaches.
That now seems to throw up list of recent finds plus total favourite points. It doesn't seem possible to revert to "date found" by that person. Only date last found by anyone.
Any ideas, please?
Ideally not involving complicated filter resets for every search.

You can change that in your settings. You choose whether you want the search results to default show on a list or map.
Thanks. I have used the function but neither get me to the series of hides I am looking for ie hides & events archived.

I'm not sure if this is the correct thread, but.... when I click on a friend's profile, on their geocaches hidden, and then a specific geocache, I am taken to my home location with the message: No search results. I wasn't searching, I was clicking on his geocache link.
I'm having similar problems when clicking onto friend's profile, on to geochaches then hides. Only things coming up are current hides; all previous hides, now archived, for example are not listed. That includes events and there are occasional puzzles for which getting at that information would be very helpful. (And hate it coming up on the map first, rather than a list; anyone who has hides in several countries will know the problem!)
Anyone any ideas, please?

Yet again the mapping features have been disrupted with this release!!
On an Android tablet when clicking on the View Larger map on a cache page all it does is to display your home location NOT the cache location you are looking at!!
PLEASE do not release software that has not been fully tested with Premium members.....
Its all rather annoying...
Agree ++. Absolutely no use whatsoever - I know where I live!

When I click on another cacher's profile, then "all geocache finds" I used to see a list based on date. Useful if I wanted to see if friends have found a newly released series, for example.
I now see a list based on geographical location, starting with nearest to me.
Why?!
Aha. I've discovered that you can change/sort eg to date found, but very long winded.
Sorry, but I much preferred the older method.
Enjoying some of other features though, esp the easy to locate lists, messages tabs etc.

Hello @Max & 99, @CAVinoGal , and others!
We are working on a fix for the "coords.info links not opening in the the app". We hope to have a fix out for this in the next build, scheduled for deployment late next week. Stay tuned and thanks for your vigilance!
Thanks for addressing this. Really miss this feature so hope it's back asap.
Like the new layout, filters & AdLab addition.

A neighbour happily told me that one of her young relatives had "helped move" one of my caches in a local park.
It turned out that he genuinely thought that was the game; find it, then rehide it somewhere else for the next person to find.
He knows the rules now! ?

Adding myself to this list.
Ie permanent orange message/notification and "new" souvenir message always on screen.
No actions seem to clear it.
Suspect it may be simpler to list Android users where this is NOT a problem.

Aren't you allowed out once a day for exercise? A person could walk or cycle to a cache as part of the exercise; and then turn around and go home; avoiding all other people. Of course it's better if the cache hasn't had a previous finder too recently. I found two caches today; one had last been found in December, and the other a year and a half ago. Otherwise, carry hand sanitiser. I saw only one other person on my walk. A cyclist went by.

If the log is signed you cannot delete a find.
I fully agree with fellsmanhiker.
In UK we are asked to stay home. Simple.
If gung-ho attitudes of some geocachers continue they are risking health and lives of others.
As well as in some cases, breaking the law.

One point doesn't seem to have been mentioned so far and that's where COs are in enforced isolation (usually 7 or 14 days in UK at present, though can be longer if family gets the virus one after the other) and/or being shielded (currently min 12 weeks with no movement at all outdoors.)
It's difficult to repair and maintain caches under such circumstances.
And it would be inappropriate to ask others to help, given current request from overworked, stressed and highly respected health and social care staff to "Support the NHS, Stay at Home, Save Lives."

Best quote I've seen in relation to this unique situation.
"Martin Hewitt, head of the National Police Chief's Council, said the UK was in a "national emergency, not a national holiday" ."
Quoted in a number of UK media sources yesterday, after people travelled to National Parks, seaside etc for the one daily exercise period allowed at present. Current advice, now being enforced by police, is that exercise should be near home.

I'd love to place more family friendly sized caches (as in original query on this thread.) But finding spots that are also suitable for family walks or scrambles isn't always that easy.
I enjoyed making a series based on Minecraft figures but after a few months and several boxes emptied of age appropriate swag, I decided local kids were playing another game; "Where's she hidden it this time?!" Since changing all but one to small and micro, I seem to be winning at the moment. But it can get expensive replacing both caches and swag.
Hats off to COs who manage to keep the larger caches going!

Additionally, cache owners can now submit Owner Maintenance, Disable, and Enable logs for their caches.
Awesome! Since that's what I mainly use the app for, it just became usable for me. Thanks!
Btw, it would also be nice to be able to open disabled caches in the app (when trying to do that now, I get a message saying that the GC code is invalid), the enable log type is a lot more useful then
Hi - was hoping to disable one of my caches but unable to do so from current app.
No sign of other app features I keep being told about, either.
Using Android on Galaxy S3, and suspect not updated at all; showing as 4.4.1
Only option given is to uninstall, not update.
Premium member; not sure where to go from here...?

I had just submitted a message to an earth ache owner and went to message another owner. The contact information for the second owner wasn't displayed nor was the intro blurb regarding the cache, it also appears my message history disappeared. Any ideas on how to get this working again. Note as a verification step I attempted to message the owner that I had just messaged and the same problem was present, i.e., no contact info supplied.
Hi - all my message history seems to have completely disappeared today.
Icon to indicate there's a message waiting to be read is appearing but I can't see the message.
Nor can I reply.
Anyone else having problems?
Or even better, anyone got any ideas on how to resolve, please?

So with the new update for the app.. you can't CREATE an offline list from the app?? You can only use lists you've created on geocaching.com for offline use? Not much of an improvement in my opinion. And not even available on iPhone yet like they promised.
So, so agree. Making off-line lists from smart phone search on the app is currently simple, quick and effective.
We don't all have access to PCs or tablets while out and about.
If it ain't broke...
And can someone tell me if I really will lose all my saved off-line lists from June....? Please, please tell me I don't have to try and move them all over manually.
PS messaging system working really well - many thanks to those who worked on that. Had almost instant response from a CO today which probably saved me from being arrested for damaging something which definitely wasn't a cache!
-
Agree with previous posters. Trying to use system with Galaxy/Android simply brings up "Communication systems error" message. Today, for example, got message while out caching but couldn't access it via website until back home on lap top. Frustrating for other cacher and for me.
Please - email to email much preferred, with messaging system opt-out.

Thanks so much!
Landscape sorts it.
That's so helpful.
And thanks for screen shot.
Saved my sanity, both of you!
