New Cache Icon

[+londontavern]

After doing an area search in geocaching.com home page, cache listings for that area are then displayed.

 

In the 'Placed' column of a listing page there is occasionally a 'new' icon shown to highlight a newly placed cache.

 

My question is:- for how long is this icon/highlight shown.

One week I think

 

It's from the 'date placed' date though not the 'published date'

Yep. 1 week from 'date placed' sticks in my mind too.

If the cache owner submits it more that a week after placing, without changing it, and without the reviewer changing it, it won't show as 'New' What a way to fool the FTF hounds!

Thanks everybody.

 

It certainly wasn't from a FTF point of view, more a case of making a list of caches to visit whilst on my travels and then being able to quickly scan the search pages for any that have been newly placed, just before I go.

 

But now that you've mentioned it, where I am going there are 2 or 3 FTF's just waiting to be claimed and getting a FTF onto my finds list would be nice.

 

Oh! dear perhaps it's time to take the plunge and become a premium member.

Sorry, just spotted that was my 13th post and as an ex-sailor...couldn't leave it as that.
