+Sneakypete00 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 How many caches can a non-prem keep in their watchlist? Quote Link to comment
+Team JSAM Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 100, I think. that sounds about right I could not find it on gc.com but I was thinking 50 or 100 Quote Link to comment
+Markwell Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I think it's 50 BTW - there are TONS more reasons to become a premium member for $3 than unlimited watch lists... Quote Link to comment
+ncfinn Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Why do you want to watch somebody else's cache? You couldn't find it and want to see if somebody else does before you try again? It's a TB hotel? Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Why do you want to watch somebody else's cache? You couldn't find it and want to see if somebody else does before you try again? It's a TB hotel? Some people, like me, enjoy reading logs from cachers passing through, or new local cachers finding it for the first time, or a notice that the cache needs maintenance. Some caches are worth watching. Quote Link to comment

+Faith the Aquariaqueen Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I put a watch on those I could not find, so I can hear if others have found it or not, or for any helpful clues. I watch some because they are just plain silly and enjoy reading the posts. Others are hides of good friends of mine, I like to see who finds them and what they think. So, mostly for entertainment value and helpful hints. Quote Link to comment
+Sneakypete00 Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 Primarily, I use the watchlist to help keep track of the waypoints that I put into my GPS. Dern thing holds 500 of em, and as of right now, I have 54 used. Once I log a cache as found, it gets removed from watchlist because I can check on em from my Geocache tab. Secondary, I like to watch the ones that I did find that are really close by. This alerts me to cachers in the area and if the cache needs help. Quote Link to comment
+Markwell Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 (edited) I think it's 50 BTW - there are TONS more reasons to become a premium member for $3 than unlimited watch lists... TONS????? I can only think of a few, but those few are well worth it. I'd weight them as follows: 1,896 pounds: PQs 1,721 pounds: Caches Along a Route 875 pounds: Bookmark Lists 70 pounds: Insta-Notifies 20 pounds: Specialized Name on Avatar in Forums 25 pounds: unlimited watchlists 3 pounds: Off Topic Forum 3 pounds: MO Caches 2 pounds: Ignore Lists Total Weight: 4,615 pounds or 2.3075 tons. Yes - tons of reasons. Edited June 26, 2006 by Markwell Quote Link to comment
+CrossedAnchors Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 How do I see who is watching my caches? Quote Link to comment
+Cpt.Blackbeard Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 How do I see who is watching my caches? You can't, as already stated. You can post a note on the cache asking politely if the watchers would tell pretty please tell you who they are if you wish, if I were one of the watchers I would gladly indentify myself if asked nicely.

+Miragee Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I'm not watching as many caches as I used to. I keep creating new Bookmark lists . . . just another perk of being a Premium Member. Quote Link to comment
+BellsRUs Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Why do you want to watch somebody else's cache? You couldn't find it and want to see if somebody else does before you try again? It's a TB hotel? Sometimes I watch caches that I'm planning to look for while on vacation for a while so I can see if people are posting DNFs on them, or to find out what people finding them think of the hide. Sometimes I watch caches that I've left a neat item in to see when someone takes it. I left a cool transformable wire thingy in one cache and the person who eventually took it mentioned it in their post and also thought it was very cool. Patti Quote Link to comment
+Sneakypete00 Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 I also like watching the ones I did find to make sure I didn't re-hide them too well and to make sure muggles weren't too curious as to what I was up to. Quote Link to comment
+danieloliveira Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 The best ideia is not to keep any on the watchlist. That way you lower your stress levels by about 50%. Quote Link to comment
+RichardMoore Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I used to have all of the caches in the Cleveland Metroparks on my watchlist (I'm a geocaching volunteer for the CMP). Then we had a warm late-winter day and I recieved almost a hundred notifications in one evening. Plus another fifteen the next day. I deleted everything in my watchlist after that.
