From the section on Submission and Review Process: "Get accurate GPS coordinates. GPS usage is an essential element of hiding and seeking caches. The cache owner must visit the geocache location to get accurate coordinates with a GPS-enabled device." (bolding mine) The scenario outlined by the OM* would have some volunteer get the coordinates (as well as perform all the other things necessary for cache placement including placing the container) and then send all the information to the OM who would submit it for publication with the OM as CO Not sure what would happen if the volunteer submits for publication and then allows the OM to adopt the cache but I suspect that a large scale attempt at circumventing the "vacation cache" rule in that manner would attract some serious scrutiny. * I am using OM to indicate whoever sent the message to JoesBar to begin with

The implication is that IF you use a GPSr you can't download the coordinates directly into the device. You know, like the old days ;-)

Throwback? Can I place a cache that is only listed on the website, one that requires you to manually load the coordinates into your GPSr? Please?

There are images that lie near the boundary of family friendly but the image in question is not one of them. You say that Life magazine was found in professional offices. I can tell you, as a professional, that that magazine issue would NOT have been on display in a pediatrician's office. It also would not have been in a middle school or grade school library. It is no more appropriate than the Mai Lai napalm girl photo or the Saigon assassination photo both of which are iconic and prizewinning. Next time you are wondering if some image is family friendly ask a pediatrician if he/she would put it in their waiting room.

Three weeks since this the loss of this function was reported and twenty days since HQ acknowledged that "the team is looking into it." Sometimes we get a reasonably quick followup indicating that the team has been able to duplicate the problem and that they are working on a fix. I (and I suspect others from the comments on this thread) would appreciate an update. I wonder if this problem is tied to the long standing search trouble that returns a list of caches nearest to your home coordinates even when you are searching thousands of miles away?

Any update on repairing this issue? Looks like another weekend without this function.

There were things we wanted to do in and around downtown so we stayed in the central business district (don't remember the hotel) and took the bus to HQ if you haven't already, you should check this out: https://geocachinghq.com/self-guided-visit

Susancycle tried that link two days ago and it did not work. It did work in October.

I have visions of Captain Clorox sulking in his lair bemoaning the fact that now mere mortals can erase threads.

BJMcFeet, thank you for coming here and telling us your father's part in the development of geocaching. He provided the proof of concept for Dave Ulmer's idea, an idea that thousands of people around the world now enjoy. Please tell your dad that I appreciate his important place in the history of geocaching.

Mijn excuses voor de google-vertaling, mijn Nederlands is beperkt tot de paar woorden die ik oppikte tijdens verschillende fietsbezoeken. Het korte antwoord is nee, we kunnen je niet helpen. Het is uitdrukkelijk verboden om puzzel- en of cijferhulp te geven in de forums. De gebruikelijke suggestie is om de cache-eigenaar om hulp te vragen. Er zijn online bronnen die een verscheidenheid aan hulpmiddelen voor het oplossen van puzzels en cijfers bevatten, zoals https://www.geocachingtoolbox.com/index.php?lang=nl Veel geluk

True, sigh. Where's the sad button?

Great old town. Did you get a decent bowl of elk soup? 3 euros on 2015 and well worth it as we had just given the bicycles back after pedaling in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. We loved the vibrancy of the people, still reveling in their independence.

WOW!!

Do you have a bicycle? The 'Cycles have found number of geocaches in British Columbia that way.

PCS in 1972 resulted in me driving from Baltimore to Anchorage (in a Corvair.) The ALCAN in those days was over 1,100 miles of gravel road. My windshield was cracked by mile 7. When I got to Anchorage I was told my orders had changed so I had to drive 360 miles back north to Fairbanks. If I were going today I would check out the caches at the south end of Lake Kluane (beautiful area.)

Thanks for the prompt corrective action. Please close this thread.

A recent HQ communications topic is headlined: Scheduled downtime - Tuesday, April 5, 2023, 4:00 pm PDT the post reads: On Wednesday, April 5, 2023 at approximately 4:00 pm Pacific Daylight Time, Geocaching.com, Adventure Lab, Waymarking.com, Wherigo.com, and all related mobile applications, including 3rd party applications will be down for up to 30 minutes as we perform site maintenance. I'm pretty sure the downtime will occur on Wednesday and I am not trying to nitpick. Just thought I'd post this in case any just saw the "Tuesday" part and skipped the rest.

Thanks for the update. My update is that the situation has deteriorated again. I cannot delete caches from lists or delete entire lists again.

Something has changed. Yesterday (I test this regularly) I was able to delete one cache from a list. I was not able to delete any others. Today, I have been able to delete multiple caches (including more than one at a time) but I am blocked if I try to delete another within a few seconds. Will try to delete a list later today.

I have not been able to delete a list (any list) or an individual cache from a list (any list) for weeks. This has become a significant problem because I am already using the maximum number of lists so to create a new one I have to delete an old one. We drove an hour to a newly extended rail trail the other day and I wound up adding the caches along that section to an existing unrelated list (that functionality still works) so that they could be expeditiously added to my GPSr. I would appreciate an update from GC on the issues raised in this thread, specifically whether the IT team has been able to recreate the problems in their test environment.
