satvader Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 we hide our first cache yesterday and submit for listing, does anyone knows how long it takes to be publish? Quote Link to comment
+fegan Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 It varies, depending on your local reviewer(s) and how many pending caches are in the queue waiting to be reviewed. Sometimes a matter of minutes, sometimes a few hours, sometimes a day (or more). Happy Caching, fegan Quote Link to comment
jholly Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 It also depends if there are problems or not. Common problems are that you have not put your home co-ordinates on your profile. They are not visible to anyone but the reviewer. If you uncomfortable with this pick an intersection near your home. It is used to determine how far away the cache is from your home. The other common problem is proximity to an existing cache. The guideline is 528 feet. Most reviewers enforce this quite rigidly. Jim Quote Link to comment

+Prime Suspect Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 i posted some over the weekend on saturday early afternoon and they are still not reviewed and published and today is Tuesday... That means you're on the 3rd day of the 3 days mentioned in the email you received. Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 i posted some over the weekend on saturday early afternoon and they are still not reviewed and published and today is Tuesday... 72 hours is the service goal (sometimes less, sometimes more) but remember the reviewers are human and sometimes life just gets in the way. Have some patience....... Quote Link to comment

Have some patience....... i just want to be clear that i was not being impatient... i was letting the original poster know that it sometimes takes a while............ i can only imagine how long it would take to review hundreds of peoples caches that they place........ so i just wanted to make that clear because it was obviously taken wrong..............

+bubbasparkz Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 we set our first one out on Easter Sunday and it took about 2 weeks to post ---so don't forget that the reviewer may be on vacation Quote Link to comment
+weathernowcast Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 we set our first one out on Easter Sunday and it took about 2 weeks to post ---so don't forget that the reviewer may be on vacation and they are volunteers! :-) Quote Link to comment
Knight-Errant Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 we set our first one out on Easter Sunday and it took about 2 weeks to post ---so don't forget that the reviewer may be on vacation Obviously after a holiday weekend (great caching days) the work load will be much higher for the under appreciated volunteers, so take that into consideration as well.
