+SS_Steadly Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I'm new to the Geocaching.com website. I've been trying to update and log some caches that I've recently found, but the text entry window is grayed out and will not allow me to enter any text. I am using Google Chrome as my web browser. Can anyone give me some guidance as to what might be the problem. Cheers --SS-- Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Text area greyed? Go to the cache page, upper right "log your visit". Have never seen it greyed. Quote Link to comment
+SS_Steadly Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 I've tried to access the log window through the "log your visit link" but still no luck... Quote Link to comment

+Don_J Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I've tried to access the log window through the "log your visit link" but still no luck... did you log in? There is no "Log your Visit", if you are not logged in. Instead you get, "Log in to log your visit". I don't know anything about Chrome. Is it possible that a security feature is disabling the text area? Quote Link to comment

+blackhorse221 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I use a pretty stripped version of Google Chrome at work and checked. I can submit a log entry using Chrome, so I don't think it's a problem with Chrome by itself. Do you have any add-ons or apps running that might interfere? Are you able to try a different browser and narrow the problem down a bit? I can see from your profile you've never logged any caches. But it also shows you "visited" the website yesterday (8/8) so it shows you've logged in. Other than that, can I suggest posting a screen print of what you're seeing so we can take a look?

+Don_J Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Learn How to Log Your Find http://www.geocaching.com/about/logging.aspx B. Cool. So what happens when you get to step #5 and the box wont let you type anything into it? I believe that this is what the OP was asking. Quote Link to comment
+stijnhommes Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 This past week I've logged my first 7 finds. All with Google Chrome. Can you tell a little more about your setup? Do you have any extensions active? Do you use it on a Windows 98, Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 system or something different? Do you have a similar problem with text fields being unavailable on any other websites? Quote Link to comment
