+SkellyCA Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 First I created a cache page as a location holder. Submitted it so a reviewer could check the location. It's fine. He disabled the cache. I purchased and activated a travel bug which is now in my inventory. I put the travel bug in the cache and hid the cache this morning I still need to work on the cache page before enabling it. So how do I make the new travel bug show up in the cache's inventory? 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm guessing based on what you said that the TB will show in the cache's inventory after it's published? There's an interesting thread going on about putting TBs in caches before they're published. Just fyi. Quote Link to comment
+SkellyCA Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 It's not going to magically show up in the cache's inventory. There has to be a way for me to drop the bug in the cache. So it moves from my inventory to the cache's inventory. I don't see a way to do that. So maybe the cache needs to be published first? 1 Quote Link to comment

When you post a log to a cache, you have the option drop any trackables in your inventory into the cache. For reference, see the Help Center article Log a trackable Quote Link to comment

+Isonzo Karst Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 The cache does NOT have to be published for you to post a log to it. In the admin tools box of your unpublished cache is Post Reviewer Note. Click that, use that log to select and drop your trackable into the cache's inventory. 2 Quote Link to comment

+Calypso62 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Or, you can change the "Post reviewer note" log type to a "Write note" log type and drop the trackable. That way, the log will remain visible when the cache is published. Quote Link to comment
+SkellyCA Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 Thank you. That worked. Quote Link to comment
+hukilaulau Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Be aware that if you drop a trackable into a cache before it is published, someone can find the cache by locating the trackable. Quote Link to comment
+SkellyCA Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 Thank you.The cache has been published and found and the travel bugis on it's way to a new location. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

What does that mean? You got a Trackable that puts out a homing signal or something? Quote Link to comment

Finding a not-yet-published cache based on Trackable inventory is discussed in another recent thread: [BUG]: Trackables in unpublished caches I'm not sure it happens often enough to be a priority for GS to put resources towards changing, but it is interesting and maybe more cachers will put more trackables on watchlists now that it's being discussed.

Got it! Thanks for the reference. Quote Link to comment
