+allrounder Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) A basic member is trying to use http://www.geocachingadmin.com/ to log a PMO cache as found but the only log options she is getting are Didn't Find, Write Note, Needs Archived and Needs Maintenance. Is anyone else having this issue? Edited May 31, 2018 by allrounder Quote Link to comment
+HHL Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 No. The link is working here (tested with my BM account). Hans Quote Link to comment
+JimJinks Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Have they already logged a find on that cache? 2 Quote Link to comment

+The A-Team Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 8 hours ago, JimJinks said: Have they already logged a find on that cache? Bingo. Based on the available log types that you listed, it seems like the other user has already logged a find on the cache. Since only one find per cache is allowed under the current system, "Found it" isn't being presented as an option. Quote Link to comment
+allrounder Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) well what do you know, they logged it back in January 2014...I had to go back through the logs to find it... thanks all! Edited May 31, 2018 by allrounder 1 Quote Link to comment
wanrex Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Oh, thanks for the link, then i can log PM only cache easier now. Btw, any similar easy/convenient way to "VIEW" a PM only cache? Quote Link to comment

Btw, any similar easy/convenient way to "VIEW" a PM only cache? Not that I m aware of, why would Groundspeak allow such a thing? The "backdoor" logging method is open, at least in part, to allow family members of premium members the opportunity to log caches in their own accounts without having to pay for another premium account. GS decided that they did not want to allow "family" premium memberships and this is a compromise position. Susancycle logs PM caches this way occasionally (although she doesn't log online much, I think she is about 3,000 caches behind) Quote Link to comment

The "back door" methods for logging a cache are simply for basic members to log a cache found when with a premium member. Taking a new person under wing, or family logging (so everyone doesn't need a pm) for example. Quote Link to comment
