micropenguin Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hello fellow geocachers I hope you are all well on this lovely sunny day. Just a little query (and probably one of impatience, lol) but I was just wondering if I might have made a boo boo with putting up a new cache for review. I posted it on the 18th for review and its still not active but I am pretty sure I have clicked everything that needs to be clicked and activated everything that needs to be activated. Perhaps it is lost in the land of technical wizardry? I'm just really a complete noob to this, so just wanna make sure :) If im just being inpatient, then just tell me to chill and wait lol.

+briansnat Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The amount of time it takes depends on several factors. The number of caches submitted, the availability of the reviewer and the complexity of your cache and/or the amount of information you include. If it's been a busy weekend for cache hiding it could take your reviewer some time to get through the queue. Also, your reviewer is a volunteer and sometimes life gets in the way of his reviewing responsibilities. Maybe he's had to work late at his real job all week, maybe he's busy with family responsibilities, maybe he is ill. You can also speed things up by reading and being sure you understand the guidelines and anticipating and answering any questions the reviewer might have ahead of time. Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Sort of like "No news is good news"..... That said, you may very well have not thought of something. You need to check the LOGS of your unpublished cache page to see if there is an issue to be taken care of. That is the reviewers' method of contacting you, not via email to your mailbox as many believe. If it has been this long, is yet unpublished, you should check. Could be too, that nothing is wrong. Just the volunteer reviewer is busy! Quote Link to comment
micropenguin Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Okie Dokie, thanks for the reply. Was a little unsure as it said up to 72 hours, I have no problem in waiting and the log has nothing added from the reviewer so I'll wait some more Quote Link to comment
+eusty Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Did you check the box to activate the cache for review? (Can't remember what it says exactly!) Quote Link to comment
sabrefan7 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Did you check the box to activate the cache for review? (Can't remember what it says exactly!) Yes. A lot of times people (my self included) forget to check all the box's They look like this The cache is still owned by one account, but you can list whoever placed the cache. [x] Enable cache listing. It is ready for review. (If the listing is not yet ready to be reviewed, uncheck this box.) Note: Only 'Enabled' cache listings are visible to the reviewer.

micropenguin Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hey All, Yeah, everything has been checked, I made sure I read the instructions (as normally I just plow along with things lol). I think perhaps its just a busy time for everyone . I'll check it again in a week or so. Quote Link to comment
+The_Incredibles_ Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Did you check the date you put under date hidden? Quote Link to comment
micropenguin Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 I put the date I hid the cache: 18th May 2011. Not quite sure what else it would imply to put there if not that.... Quote Link to comment
