Date Placed-Future Date

[+nativtxn]

Why are some items listed with a "Placed Date" that has not occurred yet? Many of them already have dates that they have been found. I've seen them with April, May and even June 2010 dates, but are active already.

what items?

 

only thing i've seen with future dates are the Events

[+Isonzo Karst]

Only Events will accept a future date. The "placed date" of an event is the day the event will take place. All events are published at least 2 weeks in advance.

 

Other cache types will accept a date only one day into the future (this to accommodate cachers near international date lines).

We are guessing that you are referring to event-type caches (when you say, some items)...

 

To our knowledge, only event caches may be listed with a projected date. This is necessary so that cachers wishing to attend the event can adjust their schedules to accommodate. It also allows time for persons that may wish to attend such the opportunity to notice the posting, as not everyone checks on a daily basis.

Oh...I see now. I did a search for newest listings in Texas and I didn't pay attention to the icons on the far left. I'm learning, I'm learning!
