Got an e-mail for a find on March 18, but not for the find on March 19. DNFs or NMs would be much harder to find.
Use your dashboard. All logs will be shown there.

I came in here to see if the problem had been discussed. Very strange to see the big difference between missing emails!
Mine stopped arriving at some point yesterday (march 19.) -

Try Shift+Enter. This brings a single line shift.
Thank you so much

I would very much like the ability to color up things too, but most of all I miss the ability to make a single line shift (as when I use <br/> in html mode) ... or am I missing something in the editor?

Thank you very much
I'm surprised that the first regulation didn't happen until the beginning of 2007

During research for a cache I'm making, I found out that in the good old days (in this case 2007) it was allowed to have additional logging requirements on ALL mystery caches. Not just the Challenges as it is to day. When I digged deeper into history by reading old threads in this forum, it seemed to me that at some time there was no limit for the logging requirements on ANY caches!?
A CO of a tradi could apparently legaly delete logs if the finder didn't do what he/she demanded (besides from writing in the logbook). Is that true? ... And if so, - how long back are we talking about?
And when were the ALR totally forbidden for physical caches? (Except for Challenge caches).
-
I think we've established that it's ment to work (I wasn't even aware it was mentioned in the help section) but it doesn't!
Now we just need to know what HQ's gonna do about it?! ?
-
As a CO I have the ability to delete photos in logs. When doing that, I have to give a reason. That's a pretty good feature, even though I think it would be more appropriate if it was applied to deletion of the entire log. Obviously, the message should turn up at the owner of the log, but apparently it doesn't
I had a suspicion that nothing happened, (I didn't get a reply on the last message I sent) so I tried it with a friends account. Yup! No message appeared at my friend!
-
Maybe I'm missing something here, but to me it seems stupid!
I'm in the progress og making some new caches and would replace a photo. When trying to delete the photo to be replaced, a dialog box appeared:
It's pretty good to receive a warning, but I can't delete unless I write something in the box ? ... And who is receiving the message?? It's certainly not me ?
(Well, I guess it has something to do with deleting photos from logs, but wouldn't it be pretty easy to divert those two things in the code?)

I cannot repro this (using Chrome), What browser are you using?
I am using chrome (and tried it just in Firefox ... same result)
I've tried again, hoping it was just a temporary issue, but it's still the same. It's apparently because I have used the region search. If I make the same search, only with cache name and CO, the map shows the right thing. It is, as Isonzo Karst says, a zoom problem, but I shouldn't have to zoom to see the right thing?!
I just noticed something odd. If I look at the adress bar when it's loading the map, it starts by showing zoom level 12, but then changes it to level 18 when it's finished loading.
If I zoom out manually, I can make it show the caches. I just don't understand that you can make it show the right zoom level from the beginning??!

I've just made this search: https://www.geocaching.com/play/search/@55.62112,8.48069?origin=Varde,+Region+Syddanmark&ot=3&g=32541&types=8&kw=stjerne&sort=GeocacheName&asc=True but when hitting the "map these geocaches" button, the (new) map doesn't show any icons. In the left panel there's also more than the originally 50 results. See attached screenshot.
I'm pretty sure it worked fine some days ago.
-
As stated in the title, leads the arrow (which appears when you scroll down to read logs) to the old search page instead of to the top of the cachepage. I've noticed it in a couple of days now.

You might start by posting a note on the cache page.
That usually doesn't work, as the locals often have found the cache long time ago, and therefore, they most likely do not see the posting. Using facebook is in my experience the best way.

The placed date shouldn't make a difference.I'm sure no cache would survive 3 years without a OM after a NM around here. Reviewers would have picked that up soon enough and posted a reviewers note followed by a TD and archived log.
You are SO lucky! The reviewers in my country doesn't (and WILL not) do that, and I think it's such a pity
. They leave it up to the rest of us to be "the bad guys", risking being called geo-police and worse, when we make NA's
In Denmark you can easily find caches with numerous NM's and a CO that's been "dead" for years.
Well ... The worst part is actually the caches with numerous NM and an ACTIVE CO! Active in the meaning that they have plenty of time to go chasing other caches, but when it comes to maintain of their own, they don't give a s***! That kind of people really piss me of

Thanks for all the answers, but I think some of you may have misunderstod WHY I want to download the cache before it's published (or maybe it's just my english that isn't good enough, - me being danish
).
I of course check and doublecheck the coordinates, both in the field and when it's transfered to the cache description, but even though I've checked, and checked and triple-checked, I'm still not calm before the cache is found (and for multis and mysteries the checking almost never ends
). Therefore it would be nice, - and reassuring - to be able to get the coordinates FROM the cachedescription, that I'm about to send to the reviewer, without having to copy them manually to my gps as a waypoint. Then I can go to check a last time, - go home and hit the SEND button, knowing that the coordinate I just submitted in fact IS where the cache is. Yeah, yeah, I may be too cautious, and I have never send wrong coordinates ... but still ...
I know it has been possible before, and then the cache looked just like any other on my gps. Since the button "Send to my gps" doesn't work like it did some years ago, I was just wondering if there was another way around. Using GSAK isn't a solution for me. That leaves the LOC-files, but I can't figure out how to make them work. The one I've tried to download will not open in EasyGPS.

You can PRINT your unpublished cache.
9 minutes ago, Isonzo Karst said:Most (all) handheld gps units will take the LOC file. The LOC will give you the coords as they appear on the cache page, the cache type, name and GC Code.
How to load the LOC to your device depends on your device ;-)
It's a Dakota 10 (yes, it's old, but I love it
)
9 minutes ago, Isonzo Karst said:Quote, " event holders offer gpx-files of caches" I expect they are creating the gpx file in their own software - GSAK will let you create a gpx file with all the same fields as a geocaching.com webpage.
You may have a point!

How do I download my unpublished caches to my gps? I have done it previously, but that may have been when the "Send to my GPS" button stil worked. Hitting the gpx-file doesn't do anything. The LOC waypoint file DO download, but I don't know what to do with it?? Putting it in the normal gpx-dir in the gps doesn't seen to work.
I want to have the caches to show as "normal" caches on my gps when I go to make the last control before publishing. That way I'm sure I haven't made any typing-mistakes in i.e. the coordinate or other stuff..
Furthermore I have seen event holders offer gpx-files of caches that won't be published until later. How do they do that?

Is it an "only-Denmark" problem, since noone apparently has addressed it here, that the mail notification doesn't seem to work? Ever since some time yesterday afternoon (DK-time! (min. some 14-16 hours prior to this message)) I've recieved no mails whatsoever from HQ. That is messages about submitted and later published caches as well as mails telling about logs ??

That's actually an invalid tag. A break tag is one of few html tags which is self-closing rather than as separate opening and closing tags. What you've shown would be the closing tag (without an opening tag). Most browsers will parse an opening tag without a closing tag, but it's "technically" invalid.
You can either use <br></br> or <br />
Well ... actually I DO normally use <br/> (without the space)

Does anyone know if this worked before the new cache editing page came along? Caches around here generally have very short or empty waypoint descriptions, so it isn't something I would come across very often.
That was excactly what I seemed to remember. I think the change was made when the layout in the edit page was changed.
In this case I want to use it in a multi-cache. Not necessarily because of a long description, but it looks better, - and is easier to read. If e.g. there's three questions, it looks so much better to have one question per line.

OK. I finally just tried for myself. Line breaks do not work for me anymore. But [br] alone works!
First line of waypoint's description.[br] Second line of description.
This is how I made up this waypoint of mine.
Wow! Thanks. I love you
I would never have guessed to use the square tags around (instead of the pointed ones).
My knowledge to html is on a learning-by-doing basis, and I actually learned it in desire to make cache descriptions look better.

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