+McCaughan Family Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Hello All! The [delete] on log entries is too easy. I've had email notifications about caches or TBs and by the time I view the page the reference is gone. Instead of deleting a log entry, would it not be more prudent to "archive" the log entry. Users visiting the cache page would not be able to see the archived entry. Owners of the cache would see the log entry with a line through it. The cache owner could "undelete" ("un-archive" rather) the log entry. This would also help solve the problem of lost miles on travelbugs by accidental deletion of log entries. As a database programmer and web application developer, I would happily lend my resources to helping on such a modification. Doug of McCaughan Family Geocaching Families of East TN Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I'm all for having easy recovery, but as a cache owner there are logs that I need to be able to delete (or archived) so they are not visible at all. Link to comment
+ClayJar Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 The logs are not, in fact, deleted. They are actually archived, but only the GCc folks can see them. [[[ ClayJar Networks ]]] Home of Watcher downloads, Official Geocaching Chat, and the Geocache Rating System Link to comment
+trippy1976 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 it would be nice if you got notified when your log was deleted. -------- trippy1976 - Team KKF2A Saving geocaches - one golf ball at a time. Link to comment
+McCaughan Family Posted August 13, 2003 Author Share Posted August 13, 2003 It's good to know a record of all logs is kept. I still think it would be nice for the cache owner to see the deleted log (struck through) even if the cache owner couldn't recover it or edit it. Perhaps on the front end where users see it a note could say "Log by CachersName Deleted" I like trippy1976's idea of being notified when a log is deleted.

+geofred Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 My complaint relates to the fact that if the owner deletes the log you also "lose" credit for the find. I ticked off one cacher and he deleted all my finds (current and old) for any of his caches. Seems like there should be a way to prevent arbitrary acts of retribution. She said, "Give up caching, or don't come home." Dang I am gonna miss her! Link to comment
