+BellHousehold Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Hello all did an Geocache today and as yet no badge has appeared on my account. What should I do? Thanks btw I'm on Twitter @Villordsutch if anyones up for a follow share (no spam though) Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Tomorrow is (the second) International Geocaching Day, not today. You'll need to find another one, or attend an event, and log it tomorrow to get the souvenir!

+stijnhommes Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Hmm, that's going to be a tricky one. The weather is pounding and I'll have a tiring 4,5 hour journey tomorrow (possibly without airco). I'll have to take a very good look through my local home caches to see if I can find something I can do easily after a long trip. Quote Link to comment
+BellHousehold Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Hells bells...I was stung by nettles and everything Will have to find a close to home one and nip out super quick in the afternoon. Thank you for the information Quote Link to comment

You could always log one of those Pseudo-Virtuals that were being argued about on here the last week or so - oh hang on no you can't they've been archived. Hells bells...I was stung by nettles and everything Will have to find a close to home one and nip out super quick in the afternoon. Thank you for the information FWIW I don't think you get the souvenir badge immediately, though can't remember if it's a matter of hours or days before it appears on your profile.

+BellHousehold Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 3 Caches done today. Shall be rather excited to see my blue badge Daughters had a good walk to. Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 It's there - on your Souvenirs tab of your profile MrsB Quote Link to comment
+BellHousehold Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 YAY! The nettle stings seem worth it now. Find me on Twitter @Villordsutch (I promise no spam) Quote Link to comment

Mine was on my profile within seconds of my logging this mornings finds Logged several caches today but until now I got no souvenir Sometimes there's a problem if you log by phone application before the special day has started in Seattle - I read another post by someone else who had logged early on the 18th August in their country and they had not received the souvenir. I suggest you wait a couple of days and if the souvenir has not appeared contact Groundspeak about it. MrsB Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I'd left a local cache to do (nice walk along the canal from town) on this special day and within moments, I'd got the Souvenir. You can check yours on your own Souvenir page. I hope everyone who wanted one got a find/attend today. Not the best time for a DNF Quote Link to comment

I did, the minute I logged the cache the screen told me I'd earned the souvenir. Quote Link to comment
+mellers Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 When, at about 8pm, I logged the first of yesterday's finds I was told by the usual submission complete screen that I got the souvenir straight away. BTW - did anyone else notice how slow the web site was yesterday evening as the entire geocaching world was obviously either logging finds or running PQs! A similar thing happened on Feb 29th, I seem to remember! Quote Link to comment
+Perditus Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Mine also popped up instantly, but I didn't go and log my finds until today due to an overwhelming need for several beers after a hot dry walk Quote Link to comment
+Jacaru & Wemnog Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Ours haven't shown on our profiles either. Then when my partner looked he didn't get one for attending an International Flash Mob event either. Quote Link to comment
+drdick&vick Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 got ours 30 secs after logging the cache Quote Link to comment
+agentmancuso Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I didn't know I was getting one, but it's there now certainly. Quote Link to comment
+Jacaru & Wemnog Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Update. I logged a cache on my phone on Saturday and didn't get the souvenir. I logged another cache today on my PC that I found on Saturday and got the badge right away. Maybe it's just a phone thing. Quote Link to comment
+jukis&prusak Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 There was supposed to be a souvenir for logging a cache on August 18 - International Geocaching Day. We found 10 geocaches on that day but didn't get any souvenir. Was it because we logged them 2 days after the fact? Quote Link to comment

There were quite a few people who didn't get their souvenir for Internatonal Geocaching Day, but Groundspeak are aware of it and hope to put it right soon.
