+jonnyt Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Can you help ? Is is possible to change an existing cache from multi to single. I have a cache where i originally did it as multi to give a point where a box could be placed rather than putting out more nanos. However the placement has proved less than ideal recently so i decided to convert to a nano and put it at the original location of the multi (with a clear conscience as my recent caches have all been non-nano) Ive updated it all but cant seem to edit the type and so it still shows as a multi - can this be changed ? thanks JonnyT Quote
+chizu Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Reviewers used to be able to change the cache type but if I remember correctly they can't do this anymore. I think the only option is to archive the existing and relaunch as a new cache at the same coordinates/ Quote

+Delta68 Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Even if you are able to I say don't do it as it's not fair on those who did it as a multi. This is even more annoying when Puzzles get changed to Trads Mark Quote
+riviouveur Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 The reviewers are technically able to change the type of a cache, but they are also sensitive to the fact that in areas with relatively few multis or puzzles, people are keen for their stats to remain "correct". So once a cache of a given type has been found by a few people, your local reviewer may not be keen to change its type. Quote
+Graculus Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I'm sorry but we don't change cache types. It does affect stats of those who have found it. Best thing is to create a new cache - this also gives people a new cache to find!

Neath Worthies Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 So a "proper" box gets replaced by a nano. Sigh!! How about the alternative approach and keep it as a multi with the nano as it is but move the final box to somewhere more appropriate? Quote
