False Logs

At least false logs would still be *logs* - its really annoying when people pick up travelbugs but either don't log them, or can't figure out the proper method for logging them. rolleyes.gif hopefully some day the Groundspeak site will be more clear about exactly what to do. Currently a user must click in a few places and read through the instructions to figure out the process.

 

Imho, the default should be a step-by-step 'log the bug you found' page, which can then be bypassed to the current 'normal' system.

In another thread someone is talking about making their own tags and using the info from their travel bug tags.

 

You could do something like make the bug number black with dark red numbers or put it on a field with lots of wavey lines behind it. Something to try and trick a camera in to not recording the numbers correctly.

Or ... how about just not having the number face the camera when the picture is taken? icon_biggrin.gif

This would be idea. However, most geocaches do not know very much about travel bugs and seem to only become interested if they find one. At least at this stage in the evolution of the travel bug we should do all that we can to help make everything idiot proof. Not because the people we are dealing with are idiots but because a lot of them are underinformed and very new to the idea. Like myself.
