+Delta68 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) Our caches are placed with the intention that cachers will find them and we will normally go and check on one if it has had a couple of DNFs It would be really handy if the owned caches page http://www.geocaching.com/my/owned.aspx could have 1) a flag to indicate there is a Needs Maintenance attribute on it 2) something to show what the last four logs were eg: (edited to add: or the last five logs to be in line with pq data) Thanks Mark Edited April 26, 2010 by Delta68 Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Add Disabled status to that, and you have a winner! very nice idea.... Link to comment
+ghettomedic Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Add Disabled status to that, and you have a winner! very nice idea.... Disabled already have a line through the name. But yes not a bad idea. Link to comment
simpjkee Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 The maintanence flag would be cool because it would motivate owners to correctly alleviate the maintanence attribute issue with an owner maintanence log and not a note. The logs idea is kind of unnecessary. I like to think that owners would pay attention to the logs they got on their caches, but I'm probably wrong. Link to comment
+KoosKoos Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Sounds like a great idea. I know there have been a few caches of mine that received 3 or 4 DNFs, but they were spread out over several months, so I didn't always put it together that it was a string and I needed to check. Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) I've wanted something like this for a long time. Great idea on how to implement it. Edited April 26, 2010 by Ambrosia Link to comment
+roziecakes Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I absolutely LOVE this idea. Link to comment

+texasgrillchef Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I love it as well... And yes.. I read my logs. But only when I get the "Email" notification that a DNF log or a found long has been logged. So yes... I love this idea as well. Makes it SO much easier. Especially when you have a high number of cache hides. I currently only have 51. But I know of others who have several hundred hides. Yikes! having to manually go through each cache page to view the logs would take forever. At least for me. So this idea is great! TGC Link to comment
+Don_J Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 The maintanence flag would be cool because it would motivate owners to correctly alleviate the maintanence attribute issue with an owner maintanence log and not a note. The logs idea is kind of unnecessary. I like to think that owners would pay attention to the logs they got on their caches, but I'm probably wrong. My current method when I receive a DNF email notification is to mark it read but not delete it. This way, I can see if they are piling up. I read and pay attention to every notification that I receive. The idea that I should, or even can memorize the last four logs on 135 active caches is crazy. The OP has come up with an excellent method for managing such things. Link to comment
