[Release Notes (Website: New geocache and trackable logging flow) - November 2, 2023]

Hey all,

 

With this new update, as a CO, how can I encrypt a log that contains spoilers?

I can't seem to find a way to do it nor do I remember the URL to the old logging experience...

 

Thanks for your help

[Impossible to log]

23 hours ago, Max and 99 said:

I just tested this on my android app. I logged a note. Then I used my device to go to the website and the log is there.

I tried exactly the way you said but it doesn't work for me. WiFi or data.

[Impossible to log]

As the title says, it is impossible to send logs from the Android app to the website. Drafts are synched, but any log of any type are not sent.

 

This has been happening at least since last version. Currently I'm on a OnePlus 6T (A6013) running android 9 and app version 8.4.1.

[logs keep disappearing: app vs. website]

@geo_android are there any news on this? 

[logs keep disappearing: app vs. website]

This happened again today to me, lost my drafts because I sent my logs and they were gone. All "merda maintenance" logs also failed to send.

[My hidden geocache count incorrect]

Seems to be fixed for me.

[CSS on Profile]

Hi all,

Does anyone know if we can use CSS on our profiles? I can get in-line styling on my html tags but I'm not sure if I can use a custom css sheet to style my stuff.

[Favorite]

I'm a premium member and I've got 27 points so far. So I should have 3 favorites to give out, right? But when I select the drop down menu, I am not given an option to "add favorite". What do I do?

There's an article on Groundspeak's Help Center about favourite points. If you can't award a favourite point, maybe it is because you haven't got any(?). Only the caches found after you have a premium membership count towards you receiving a favourite point.

[Message Center - New messages don't show up]

The title gives it all away.

What I am experiencing is: when I am checking logs and answers for my virtual, sometimes there are too many messages and logs at the same time, and I can't remember which ones I've already received an answer to. Today, I received only one log and I received no e-mail or message at all. But since this isn't the first time happening, I decided to go on the message center and send a message to the geocacher. As I write his name, a message from him pops up, with yesterday's date. This has happened quite a few times, but now I am certain this is some sort of bug. Has anyone ever experienced this?

[Can't See Log When Pasted]

Is there any reason as to why you don't write your log as a draft? It's much easier and saves you the trouble of having to be copy/pasting it from another app to the Geocaching App.

You know you can hide souvenirs you don't want displayed.

ETA: Hold up. Where'd the hide function go on the souvenir page? What'd I miss? Is it still possible to hide souvenirs?

Oh, even worse. I can't hide any, but the ones hidden aren't showing up for me, not even grayed out, they're just gone!

[map issue]

Hi Desetdemon,

Which map provider are you using(Google/Leaflet) or what type or map? Have you got any ad blocking software running? Have you tried clearing your browser's cache?

[Lost events]

This has happened to me quite a few times. Usually, after refreshing the page, they show up.

[Is "virtual Wherigo" possible?]

According to the guidelines, there must be a container with a logbook in the final stage:

Quote

A Wherigo cache requires a Wherigo cartridge to find a cache container with a logbook.

Not to mention, the Wherigo cache type is listed under the "Physycal Caches" section.

[Incorrect Date on Recently Viewed]

Odd, then, that 10 Years! events manage to show up under "events" in geocaching profiles and otherwise preserve their event properties on the cache page, yet don't do so in the recently viewed widget.

That is right but as I said, maybe they forgot about them or just thought it wasn't worth including those properties in the new widget.

[Incorrect Date on Recently Viewed]

Not treating it as an event was probabily because there won't be any 10 year events anymore and the developers must have left them out of the code, instead of having to add another cache type.

[Incorrect Date on Recently Viewed]

I noticed this the other day and thought it had something to do with the logs, however, it seems that if you have an event in your recently viewed list, on your dashboard, it will always show the current date, instead of the date when the even occured. As of today (1st February 2018):

 

 

[Line breaks in waypoint description]

Isn't it possible to make line breaks in the waypoint descriptions? Html doesn't work (</br>)  

 

I don't think you can add like breaks in waypoint descriptions since those are suposed to be kept relatively short.

[Photos in Profile]

I would try uploading the pic to a cache you found or one of your own caches.  Then use the link off of that pic.  I would think that should work.

This works. But if you don't want to post it in any cache, you can use any other image hosting website like imgur.

[Making your own swag]

I really like the concept behind your geocaching rocks. It pretty much is a simple yet creative and original idea to create your own trackables (or SWAG)! Would love to find one of those in a cache!

[Message Center Height]

Hi,

For people with screens that aren't huge(like my laptop's) it would feel way better if the message center height would adjust to the size of the screen rather than making me have to scroll down to write the message or to hit "Send".

[Message Center Attachements]

Hi all,

I've recently been using the messange center in order to receive logging requirements, such as pictures. I've come across a few misunderstandings due to the fact that the Message Center won't show any attachements. Also, when it does, it takes ages to open a picture and sometimes, tapping it won't even open it. I'm not sure if this is just on my end or not.
