+frank80401 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I presently have a multicache that I would like to change over to a regular or single stage cache. Do I have to archive the present multicache and creat a new one even though the cache location doesn't change??? Quote Link to comment
+The_Incredibles_ Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 You can't change the cache type after publishing. So, yes, if you want to avoid confusing people it would be best to archive the multi and submit a new traditional cache. Quote Link to comment

You need to contact your local reviewer about a "major change": Help Center → Geocaching → Cache Ownership: A Long-Term Relationship 6.11. Editing a Published Listing: Major Change. http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=76 If you need to change the coordinates beyond 0.1 miles (528 feet or 161 m), or change the type of cache, please contact your local reviewer. The reviewer will check the changes for adherence to the current guidelines and notify you when the changes have been made, or suggest that a new cache listing should be submitted. Please be sure to follow any instructions the reviewer may send you. B. Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Those that have Found it as multi-cache, will get very upset if their stats change when you get it changed to a Traditional cache... Archive and submit it as a new cache. Quote Link to comment
AZcachemeister Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yes, you may need to archive the multi and submit a new cache for review. No 'maybe' about it. The Multi-Cache should be archived, and the new cache (now a Traditional) listed for review. I got a trad converted to a multi once (back in '07 I think). The reviewer questioned me and then made the change for me. Today, I would never consider messing with the finders stats like that. Quote Link to comment

+JL_HSTRE Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Alternatively, you could change how the coordinates for the S2/Final are calculated from S1. Instead of a container at S2, require calculations based on info from a sign or projecting a waypoint. Quote Link to comment
