  1. The forums are a separate site from Geocaching.com running on third party software. While some things are linked between your GC.com account and your forum account, not everything is. One of those is your time zone setting. You will need to set that separately in your forum account (accessed by selecting "My Settings" in the drop-down available next to your icon in the upper right corner of the forums).

    I tryed that but it is still wrong.

  2. Okay - I know this has been covered somewhere - but I want an oppinion.

     

    I am planning on giving awards at an event. I really wanted to do trackable medals, but I couldnt find anything I like on multiple websites. I did find some engravable medals on a diferent site that match my needs, however they don't have tracking codes. My idea was to purchase some cheap trackables and engrave the trackable number from those over to the medals (along with the receipients geoname, and the words "trackable on geocaching.com"). After reading here I am thinging just buying a handful of TravelBug tags is the best bet. (I was orginally going to wo with Geo-Nick Sticks, since they are real cheap - but I don't want the icon to conflict with the trackable when it is discovered

     

    My questions are as follows:

    A) Is this acceptable as far as the rules are concerned, or am I violating the rules by not using a Groundspeak approved design?

    B) Is this 'classy' - or, more specifically - would you be okay with logging 'discover it' logs for this?

     

    I am only making 3 or 4 of these, so purchasing JUST codes at a minimum of 50 codes is really not cost-efective. Thoughts, suggestions?

     

    As far as I can see that is fine, Groundspeak have the money, you own the code so you can do what you like with it.
