+Momma Nonna Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Somehow I managed to delete my own Travel Bug from the list showing my owned TBs. I've visited the TB's home (which I created) but can find no drop-down to add it back into my inventory. I'm sure it's something obvious but I do need help. Thanks! Momma Nonna Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 When I look at your profile I see 3 trackables listed as belonging to you: Momma Nonna TB tag, Lana Joy's ladybug and Flutterby. Which one are you having problems with? MrsB Quote Link to comment
+Pax Tecum Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) I, too, am having the same problem. I found one at a location that wasn't listed as having a travel bug. I should have 2 in my inventory, but it only shows one. When I try to log the TB, the only options I get are: Retreive From location Grab it from somewhere else Write Note Discover it Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Just had a look at your logs and see that you found a TB at the Zion Hills cache - It seems that nobody else has found that one since January. I suggest you log it using the option 'grab from somewhere else' and that will bring the TB into your own inventory so it shows as being "in your hands". Then go back to your log on the Zion Hills cache and underneath the log click 'Edit log'. This gives you your log on a separate page - Click 'Edit log' again... Now you having the full log available for editing - underneath the Comment box you should see the your Trackables Inventory box with the TB listed there. Select the action 'Visit', then 'Submit Log Entry'. Doing this will give the TB a quick visit to the cache to show that it was there, thus keeping its journey accurate. It will now be back in your inventory, all ready for its next move. MrsB Quote Link to comment

For some reason I was thinking "Grab it from somewhere else" meant something different, but I see now. Thanks again for helping a newbie. Edit: I a word there.

You're welcome Use the "grab it from" log with care... Sometimes you find a trackable in a cache and it still shows as being in the hands of another cacher. This may be because they haven't had time to do all their logs (perhaps they're on holiday in the area?). In such circumstances I think it's considerate to hold off your 'grabbing' from them for a few days to give them a chance to catch up. Of course, if you can tell from the cache logs that they logged the cache a couple of weeks back then you might do the 'grab' sooner as it may be they simply forgot to drop off the trackable at that time.

MrsB Ahhh, I understand. This information is very helpful. Should this occasion happen again, I will heed your advice. You are very kind, thanks for the extra information.

+Momma Nonna Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Thank you so much for responding. I attended a Friday the 13th event last night & someone there stepped me thru the process. Not only did I get the TB back, a new cache was published during our event so my recently grabbed back TB was placed in a brand new cache so I am confident it will move on quickly. Thanks for your willingness to help a Newbie. Momma Nonna Quote Link to comment

+Momma Nonna Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Ms. B, Thank you for your reply earlier. I do not have Lana Joy's Lady Bug on my list of owned trackables. I'm not sure where you saw it, but when I query my Owned Trackables, Lana Joy's is not there. ???? Sorry for the long delay in answering. The responses above did not apply to my situation - at least I don't think so. Thanks for your further help. Momma Nonna Quote Link to comment

I go to your public profile, click on the 'Trackables' tab. On the right side under 'Trackables Owned', third down, there is a Cachekinz... one *click* on it shows me Lana Joy's Lady Bug (owned by Momma Nonna) (Currently in the hands of THE NIGHTFINDERS) MrsB Quote Link to comment
