tsproing Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 When my family was visiting this past summer, we went geocaching with their GPS (before I had one) and found 2 caches and didn't find one. I was curious today if anyone else had found that one, but I couldn't find a way to look at caches I didn't find, only the ones I found. Is this feature availabe? And if so, how? Quote
+briansnat Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 You'd have to know its name or GC#. If it was near the ones you found, you can go to one of those cache pages, select "find...all nearby caches-that I haven't found" and see if something looks familiar. Quote
+BlueDeuce Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 When you don't find a cache you normally post a DNF (Did not Find) on the cache page. There's still a story to be told! A record of this posting would be listed on your "My Account" page. Quote
+humanloofa Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Did you log it as a DNF? If you did you can go to you Gc account details and click on the geocaches link on the top of the page. Than just click on it to show any log you didn't find. Quote
tsproing Posted March 1, 2006 Author Posted March 1, 2006 I did log it as a DNF, but it was more than 30 days ago. On my "my account" page, it only shows my logs from the last 30 days. Quote
+humanloofa Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 My logs (last 30 days) Show all logs for: Caches, Bugs, or Benchmarks click on the one marked caches, and it should take you to My Geocaching Logs (All) 242 Results: Show: Attended, Didn't find it, Enable Listing, Found it, Needs Archived, Owner Maintenance, Temporarily Disable Listing, Will Attend, Write note, All Logs than click on didn't find it, should show your entire history.

tsproing Posted March 2, 2006 Author Posted March 2, 2006 I got to "My Geocaching Logs (All)", and it says this: Show: Found it, All Logs "found it" is the only clickable choice. I still can't find a way to see my DNF. Quote
+the hermit crabs Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 (edited) I got to "My Geocaching Logs (All)", and it says this: Show: Found it, All Logs "found it" is the only clickable choice. I still can't find a way to see my DNF. I think that that means that you never posted a DNF log for the one you didn't find. Your "My Geocaching logs (All)" page should have links for every type of log you've ever posted. Mine shows "Didn't find it, Enable Listing, Found it, Temporarily Disable Listing, Write note, All Logs". edit: If you're sure you posted a DNF, then is it possible that the cache owner deleted the log? I think if that was the case you wouldn't have a link back to it. Maybe that's what happened here. Edited March 2, 2006 by the hermit crabs Quote
+rnlorna Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Try this: Go to one of the caches you found, and halfway down the page, you will see "Find all nearby caches". Click on that, and it will show you all the caches radiating out, in order of distance. Assuming the cache was near the ones you did find, seeing the title of the cache might jog your memory as to which it was. Good luck! Quote
