+jiggs11 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I noticed a feature on my home page called "Draft Notes". IApparently, I have 368 or so of them. Problem is....they're not mine! So how did they get there? Quote Link to comment
+Touchstone Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 From the Note page on my Profile: Quote Drafts, formerly known as field notes, can be created on the Geocaching® App, or uploaded from a GPS device. Learn how to upload. Perhaps you made some Notes inadvertently on your phone or gps and downloaded them? Quote Link to comment

No. Some of these comments are vulgarities, Others are on caches I've never even looked at. Still others are tantamount to gibberish. I realize I can just delete the whole lot of them. I would still like to know how they ended up on my dashboard in the first place. As well, I do not use a smartphone. The oly GPS I've used in the last three years is a Garmin etrex 20.

+BCandMsKitty Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) That would warrant an email to HQ Maybe one of the mods here might be able to answer this, but likely others would just be guessing. Edited June 29, 2018 by BCandMsKitty 1 Quote Link to comment

Did you ever have a GPSr that you sold or gave away, or bought used? Quote Link to comment
+jiggs11 Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 21 April until 28 May. And no, I only have one GPS. Bought it new 3 and a half years ago. Quote Link to comment

Possible hack on your account? Otherwise, ya, it sounds like a quick message to HQ is in order to investigate. In the meantime, if it were me, I'd probably go ahead and change my password.

+jiggs11 Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Thanks. I did some more investigation - the caches are from a friend of mine's account. How they ended up on my dashboard is beyond me. Will send a follow-up to GS... Cheers, Jiggs11 1 Quote Link to comment
