+warthog Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Have a look at this thread: TB Unite for Diabetes, International promotion Quote

+colinaly Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 This a great cause and needs our support. We have applied for a TB, lets hope we are selected!! Quote
Grawp Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 We've also applied. Hope we're successful - one of our friends is a diabetic so .... anything we can do to help Quote
+cownchicken Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Seeing as Cape Town is hosting the International Diabetes Convention, we must do our bit to create more awareness of the disease. We have also ordered a bug and hope that we will be fortunate enough to receive one. Quote
+Stormers Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Thanks Trackinfind- We are also trying our luck! Quote
+Whostops Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 Warthog, many thanks for this forum posting. I was really chuffed when I checked my postbox today. In the post was Lota, Chile. I have no idea how this TB is ever going to there, but I am sure we will show it around South Africa !!! Anyone else received a TB ? Post here so we can track them. Quote
+bear&fox Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Yep - we received ours just yesterday. Have yet to ectivate and name it though, but it will be heading for a cache soon enough. B&F * I am off to drink some bitter black coffee now. Quote
+Whostops Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Yep - we received ours just yesterday. Have yet to ectivate and name it though, but it will be heading for a cache soon enough. B&F * I am off to drink some bitter black coffee now. Bear & Fox, please forgive me for possibly pointing out the obvious. The TB is not yours to name or activate. It already has a name (It's ultimate destination) You need to grab it from "Someplace Else" Good luck with it. Quote
+bear&fox Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 ... okay, was wondering why no activation code. That's fine, we'll jump through the loops and get the little fella out on the field. Quote

Copy the URL from your browser, then click the little earth-plus-chain icon (to left of envelope icon) when you (full) reply to a thread - it will prompt you for the address, and then whatever name you want to have appear. Voila, it's that easy. Quote

+anlufu Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) We got Macheng, China Out of interest: there is only one active cache in Mossel Bay. Edited January 8, 2007 by anlufu Quote
+colinaly Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 We received Deqing, China in the post yesterday "Deqing China" Unite for Diabetes Travel Bug Quote
Guineafowl Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) Received one with a diffucult mission in the post this morning. Padalarang Indonesia. The closest cache is 54 km from it, on top of a volcano, 5 hour hike up and 6 hours hike down. the cache was placed in december 2004, but seemingly no FTF to yet. Come on - who is up for a real challenge? I see TV &M also has a tag with Indonesia as destination, what about a sense of adventure, why don't you guys take this two bugs personally to their destition? Padalarang Indonesia Edited January 9, 2007 by Guineafowl Quote
Trackinfind Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Yeaaa and we got Piedecuesta, Colombia! Cheers Trackinfind Quote

cache-fan Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Cache Fan received "Petrovsk, Russia" today. What a mission, there are only 41 caches in total in Russia, who would have guessed? The nearest caches in Moscow some 634 km away, nothing in between than snow and ice, will be difficult to get it there, amybe have to go myself???? Petrovsk, Russia Quote
+Noddy Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) I have received a diabetes coin, Grimbergen - Belgium, that needs to get to Belgium. If any cacher is going to Belgium, would they give me a shout so that we can set something up. I will be setting up a duplicate post on the Belgium forum. Edited January 10, 2007 by Noddy Quote
+cownchicken Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Hey Cache-fan, If you ever get to go to Russia, please take our TB with you!! It needs to go to the Ukraine where there are only 13 active caches. Quote
Grawp Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 I got mine today. It's destination is Benghazi, Libya. I'll be placing it in a special Diabetes-aware cache within the next two weeks. Quote

+GlobalRat Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Oschersleben, Germany arrived in the post last week. A beeeg thanks, NOT, to SARS for the 100% import duty! Quote
Grawp Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 This is a CRAZY place! I had no import duty on mine - it simply arrived in my post box - no charges at all. Why it should be different for yours is beyond comprehension ...... Oh no it isn't, silly me - Gov'ment need new luxury cars this year!!!! Quote
+Gps Storm Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 It last our 'Unite For Diabetes Travel Bug' arrived in the post yesterday. It's goal is to raise awareness of diabetes by traveling to and within Minab, Iran! of all places!!! I have no idea where that is I'll first have to go and 'Google earth' it. Quote
+Gps Storm Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 I tried to make a cool link to our TB like everyone else but for some or other reason it doesn't seem to have worked!!! What did I do wrong??? Quote
+GlobalRat Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 I tried to make a cool link to our TB like everyone else but for some or other reason it doesn't seem to have worked!!! What did I do wrong??? Minab, Iran! I think you have a "return" after the exclamation mark, did you edit the hyperlink manually? Quote
+Gps Storm Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 No, there is no return after the exclamation mark. I copied the code from the 'BB Code help' window and pasted the url. Quote
+GlobalRat Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 No, there is no return after the exclamation mark. I copied the code from the 'BB Code help' window and pasted the url. Take your 3 lines of code and remove the RETURNS, it will then work. Alternatively, use the script in the posting window, it's the globe with the chainlink to enter a hyperlink. It will first ask you for the URL and then the description. If you click on this icon and receive an error, it is usually due to IE/Firefox disallowing the running of the script, check the message bar and allow the script to be run. Also (Seems to come up quite often) on the message toolbar, you'll see an icon that has a picture of a tree, use that to insert pictures in your post, NOTE: the picture must be uploaded onto a URL somewhere. ENJOY Quote
+Megaben Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Tulle, France Arrived today in the normal post and will be staying over in Zululand for a short while before leaving for the Rugby world cup.
