Just tried again and it seems to be working now.

Wouldn't you know it, I log on for the first time in years to see if there are any caches around where I'm at and I'm having the same problem.
I'll try from home later to see if that makes a difference.
-
Have you checked to see if any spam filters are picking them off?

I want my money back.

Can't stand the guy but I'll vote for him anyway.
J/K Rusty, you know I love you.

I kind of forgot what caching is like but I do remember that a coffee can makes a bad cache as they leak.
However I do remember the addiction, bad stuff.

Ok I guess you only have one cache
send me a pm on what you want edited and I'll try it. I can click on edit and don't get an error so I'm assuming it's when you try and publish the changes.

try again in a little bit.
Also, send me the link to the page in a pm and I'll give it a try and see if I get the same thing.

Let it go.

and cachers seem to like lots of logs and ftfs im sure it will be a rush at first and then take it down after 12 weeks or so
Perhaps you aren't aware that caches are supposed to be permanent, not temporary. 12 weeks isn't much of a long life for a cache, and chances are it wouldn't get approved if that's all the longer you planned to keep it active. Not sure there's a specific guideline on cache permanence, but if I were an approver and you threw 51 caches at me to review, you darn well better have that one in place a V E R Y long time.
From the guidelines:
Cache Permanence
When you report a cache on the Geocaching.com web site, geocachers should (and will) expect the cache to be there for a realistic and extended period of time. Therefore, caches that have the goal to move (“traveling caches”), or temporary caches (caches hidden for less than 3 months or for events) most likely will not be listed. If you wish to hide caches for an event, bring printouts to the event and hand them out there.
We realize that it is possible that a planned long-term cache occasionally becomes finite because of concerns with the environment, missing or plundered caches, or the owner’s decision to remove the cache for other valid reasons. Please do your best to research fully, hide wisely, and maintain properly for a long cache life.

Should be the post office of that zip code.

It only becomes availiable to someone else if it is archived. Temporarily archiving it will make it so that the cache is still visible when you do a search. The footprints through the snow, or "geotrails," are similar here when there is a cache in really dried-out, dead weeds. It's up to you if you want to temporarily archive it, but you don't have to. Not too many people follow the slightly-beaten path off the main trail, but if someone does, they're likely to find the cache.
Up to you...
Correct!!
I would leave it and see what happens myself, if they come up missing a couple times then disable em. Usually cachers are pretty good about making thousands of tracks in the general area of the cache as to throw off a muggle.

Oh boy, here is a tough one......
All joking aside lets keep it as close to on topic as possible. I already closed his last thread because of everyone making fun and carrying on and I will do the same to this one shortly if things don't 'straighten' up which is unfair to the OP.
Thanks.

Wow, I thought I was made a mod of the OT forum all of a sudden when I got a report on this and saw all of the craziness. After checking I was relieved to see that wasn't the case and this is in Geocaching Topics. Thing is that this thread didn't really go anywhere but off topic so I'm going to close it.
Thanks to all of those who have participated.

That is a cool little note.
I've had one similar on one of my caches but they didn't log online, just in the log book in the cache. It was a nice thing that they logged it, liked it and then put it pack unlike an other that stole that same cache. Oh well.
-
Add on top of that the threatening e-mails ("I know where you live", "I am writing to Jeremy about your outrageous behavior," "I am reporting your lack of ethics to Jeep/Chrysler Corporation," "I'll be waiting for you if you ever show your face at an event") and having cache review and moderating decisions dragged through the forums. Funny, you don't hear so much of the stories when it's the reviewer being abused. We keep those to ourselves, for the most part.
PA is a "Shall Issue" state.

And to think I can't even get him to do an interview with a magazine that is devoted to caching.
El Diablo
Yeah I don't blame him with a rag like that.
Interesting interview, thanks for posting.

I've done some night caching in parks but they were probably city park where there wasn't a timline you had to worry about, or there weren't gate where they could keep you out. Keep an eye out for those signs that you suggested. Also as an idea you could do something in the public streets of a city, you would just have to be creative so people didn't draw too much attention to themselves when hunting for it.
-
Yes, submit the cache like you would any other for re-approval. That would be the easiest way. Or if it's archived you could email the original approver and let them know the situation and that you want to use the same cache page but with different coordinates and let them know the situation.
-
I am not trying to stir up controversy, just stating my opinion: It is just too bad that this was an April Fool's joke. The quality of the magazine has been declining in recent months and should just go away--PS I don't bother going to the link anymore. Also, the note that was posted calling people leeches was deplorable and reprehensible. Make no mistake; the original intent for the magazine was to MAKE MONEY--not to spread the fun of geocaching! You want to make money, fine! Don't insult people because they are not putting money in your pocket. That is harsh and a bit rude.
Wow, what a negative attitude, there is no reason for your rude comments. If you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all!!!

found this in a search for "event games" on all forums for a year.

Ok fine, I'll pay you twenty bucks for your geocoin.

It was cutting out beer during the week, rather than geocaching that affected my weight. I've always been very active so geocaching makes no difference.
That's what I need to do, how many weeks of cutting out the beer did it take to drop that 20#s?
Back on topic, I've been around the same weight forever now but there is a cacher here Team CoyChev that has lost about 50/60 lbs since he and his wife started caching a little more than a year ago. I should also add that they've hit over a thousand caches in that time frame too. So if you're going to drop big pounds I think you'll need to do a lot of caches in a short period of time.

Team FISUR,
I just checked your collection and it doesn't seem to have a MiGO geocoin, care to trade?
