Czech Mates Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 I have 3 tags for the TBs, I logeed two, one I noted which tb it went to, the other I did not. How can I find out which tag goes to the bug? Quote
+welch Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 uh?? You mean you wrote down the serial number for some TB you've moved?? Quote
Czech Mates Posted July 2, 2003 Author Posted July 2, 2003 1) I bought 3 tags for TBs 2) I logged two TBs in 3) I only wrote down which tag went to ONE of the TB 4) I have 1 TB and 2 tags 5) need to find out which tag goes to TB Quote
+TeamVE Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 enter the tracking numbers into the lookup box on the 'Track Travel Bugs' page (That's the box next to the bar code....) One of the tags will say that its not activated yet and the other shouold take you to the travelbug page that you created when you set it up.... Then I would recommend using a marker to label the 'Copy' tags for future reference once you release them into the wild.... I know it's saved me from the same headache before... ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- "The number you have reached is imaginary, please rotate your phone 90 degrees and try again... <beeeeep>" Quote
Czech Mates Posted July 2, 2003 Author Posted July 2, 2003 I guess I bought 5 of them. How can I change the tag number on an already active bug that is still in my possession? Quote

If you've activated it, just edit the TBs page to whatever you want. You can do this as often as you would like. Quote
Czech Mates Posted July 3, 2003 Author Posted July 3, 2003 I guess you don't understand. I activated a travel bug, I used one of my dog tags. I don't know which dog tag I used when I activated the tb. I want to change the dog tag for this tb. Quote
Dinoprophet Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 First, just activate all of your tags. Then the activation codes are removed from the problem. (Note: if you plan on giving some of your tags away or trading them or whatever, don't activate those tags. Set them aside). Now, do a search for the tag number you want to put on your TB. Edit that page so it is correct for the travel bug you want.

+woodsters Posted July 3, 2003 Posted July 3, 2003 Czech, did you keep the "COPY" tag? That's for you too keep with your records. Other than that, I'm not sure if they keep a record of bugs they sent you in the mail. Contact Groundspeak and see if they do. If they can give you a list of the TB's you purchased then you can do a process of elimination. Why do you want to put a different tag on it, if it already has one? Did you drop the TB in a cache? If so, see who picked it up and if they have a record of the number or where they placed the bug. If you activated the bug then it should show up on your cache page and/or profile, if I'm correct.

When you say you want to change the tag, do you mean you want to attact a different metal tag on the item?????? Quote
MarcusArelius Posted July 7, 2003 Posted July 7, 2003 I did the same thing. I activated four bugs while they all had the Generic name. Then the question was which web page goes to which tracking number. I just gave each page a temporary unique name and added a log for each tracking number, the log verbage was the tracking number itself. Viola each web page now lists it's tracking number! Now simply customize the TB page and delete your log entry (after writing down the name/number). Mark Quote
