  1. Any army disposal store should have ammo boxes too.
  2. I really have no idea why people insist on this "dipping" - What is the point? The travel bug hasn't got there of it's own accord (you know what I mean here, though it sounds a little silly) and hasn't actually resided in a cache for others to find and move so why do this? As a cache owner it frustrates me that trackables appear in my listings (under trackables history) and show TBs or coins have been there, when they never have (especially for containers that are too small to house them anyway). As a TB owner, I'd be pretty annoyed is someone started dipping on of mine, as I believe it is not in the spirit of moveable trackable items. If you own the trackable, I can't see the harm in it - except as a courtesy you should contact the cache owner for each cache you decide to "dip" into as it affect them as well as you. I've had people email me because they find caches that have had trackables logged into, but then they find they cannot fit theirs in there, also makes nanos harder to find because they are expecting/looking for something that surely must be much larger. I think some people try and clock up the miles on their trackables like it is some kind of competition (it isn't, is it?) by dipping but in reality it makes little difference, large distance moves typical of travelling cachers moving TBs from one area to another are going to make a bigger difference anyway. I think if you are insisting on dipping then you need to prove the TB has actually visited each cache, perhaps by taking some photographic evidence rather than a TB sitting in a car for weeks as the cacher gets out and makes finds. In closing, I think there spirit of trackables is to share with the community, and that you shouldn't log a trackable into and out of the same cache unless it has been there for a while (days or weeks). Give others the opportunity to share it and move it. Find a trackable, help it achieve it's goal if you like, move and log a trackable, leave it for the next finder.
  3. One of my own logs: Is that acceptable? BTW< I did return after the cache had been replaced and logged a note "Found". (ie: not a second find)
  4. How do I insert an image into the cache page? I tried html tags but it just deletes it every time and comes up blank when go to re-edit. ? Do I have to use the whole page in HTML format for it to work or is there another tag / way?
  5. I am very frustrated with the new look, I think it's not well thought out or executed. When I go caching I used to select and copy all the details of the cache into a word processor so I could print them out, and delete the information I didn't need, like the links to download, disclaimers, quick links in the left pane and decryption boxes - a simple job and this would save a lot of paper & ink. Now you can't do that at all, the formatting won't fit on a normal page, they have columns and weird spacings and it's way too hard to do the same thing now. In fact I've decided to cancel a caching trip I had planned because I can't print all the details I need in the few hours I had allocated. The Print friendly one isn't - you don't get attributes, the cache size is now only an image not in text (harder to interpret easily), and why you'd want to print out the parts that say "Make this page print-friendly (show 5 logs)", "Print PDF", "Download" and "Send to Phone"? The text font also changes, and I find it harder to read. The Maps are also a waste of bandwidth and space: What good are these? They serve almost no use. Please tell me there will be some changes made to fix these issues, it has gone from being a really good cache page to one that is awful.
  6. Re: New Maps. IMHO is a waste of time and space on the cache page. At least where I live (in Australia) there is no real detail on it at all. just a mark where the cache is on an almost blank background, defeats the purpose of a map. Also messes up what used to be a nice cache page format.
