+Johnny Thunders Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hi everyone. Could you please tell me if there is a link to all the possible achievements and belts to be awarded in the U.K? Also, is there somewhere on my profile that will show me if I actually have any or not? Thank you. John. Quote Link to comment

+Matthew 7:7 Too Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Are you thinking of the ones I use in my profile? These are described at http://www.badgegen.com/,but'>http://www.badgegen.com/,but to display them you need to be using the GSAK program to store your found caches, and then its FindStatsGen macro as well as the BadgeGen macro to create the badges and belts you have earned. If you just want to see the range of badges and belts that can be awarded to cachers, then http://www.badgegen.com/ is the place to go. Chris of Matthew 7:7 Too Quote Link to comment

+Matthew 7:7 Too Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Glad I could help, but on reflection I need to clarify my answer. The badges are of course not limited to UK use but apply world-wide (I think I'm right in saying that their author is Canadian.) And although I use the BadgeGen macro in conjunction with the FindStatGen macro to create them, I think you could probably just use the BadgeGen macro in GSAK and paste the HTML code for the badges into your Geocaching profile.

+Paul & Ros Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 You can automate the whole procedure by following the instructions here http://badgegen.com/fsg_integration.html if you are a premium member with GSAK. I just import a myfinds PQ into GSAK then run a single macro to update all the badges, Findstatgen data and upload them to my profile. Usually run each time i log a batch of caches, it takes about 2 minutes to update/upload. Longer on first run as needs to import more data. Quote Link to comment

Could you explain what a myfinds pq is and how I get it? Edited January 4, 2012 by Johnny Thunders Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Could you explain what a myfinds pq is and how I get it? A PQ is a Pocket Query, which allows you to set up automatic searches for caches, and is probably one of the main advantages to being a Premium member.A My finds PQ is a special PQ which will list all caches you've found. Go to http://www.geocaching.com/pocket/default.aspx, and down near the bottom of the page there's a section headed "My Finds" which contains a button "Add to Queue", press that and within an hour or so the PQ should have run, then on the same page click the "Pocket Queries Ready for Download tab" near the top, then click the link to the "My Finds Pocket Query" and save the file somewhere appropriate. If you haven't already done so I would urge you to investigate setting up your own PQs as they're a big bonus. Quote Link to comment
+Johnny Thunders Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Cheers Marty. I found it and ran the pq a few minutes ago. I do appreciate the help though. Quote Link to comment
+Johnny Thunders Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 I must be doing something wrong because I have followed all the instructions but nothing is showing up in my profile. As far as I can work out, I should have a bronze and silver badge for the travelling cacher, and a white belt showing on my profile but they aren't there. Any ideas? Thank you. Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 IF you're using GSAK you need to paste the HTML into your profile, after selecting 'Edit Your Profile' GSAK automatically copies the details into your pasteboard for the purpose... It will then show on the first page of you profile. Quote Link to comment

Unless I am mistaken and I do not qualify for them? Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I don't run the badges/belt part, but if you run the macro on it's own you should get a new web page which shows the ones qualify for, as a check... That code is automatically added to your pasteboard, ready to copy to your profile. If you ask in the GSAK forums the creator, or one of the GSAK guys can point you in the right direction. (They are friendly over there, I suggest if you haven't registered that you do. Use the same user name as here, it makes things easier!) Quote Link to comment
