+MolsonBlue2001 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I usually log the cache with a short placeholder and then edit with more thoughts later. I click on the Edit feature and it just reloads the same page and does not allow me to edit me log. I have tried a couple of different browsers and it is not working in any of them. Is anyone else having this issue? Quote Link to comment

Note that the CO may see only your short placeholder log. The system sends email when that log is created, but not when you edit it to turn it into a real log. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

MolsonBlue , if you look at the latest privacy release in The Release Notes forum, it'd probably be good to add that one there too. A couple glitches caused by this one.

+jaylous1 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 same here. I can not edit my find log. sometimes I accidently log the wrong date. Now I can not change it. Also I would got back and visit my TBs. I hope they get this fixed. Quote Link to comment
+cachercats Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I usually have to make corrections in computer after I log in a cache on my smart phone but the edit or delete function is not working. I see others having the same problem. Please advise and fix. Quote Link to comment
+Wymfatr Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 This problem started for me yesterday...I posted some logs yesterday and was not able to correct a couple of typos. I can edit if I use my iPhone and go in through the safari browser, but I make far more mistakes using the keyboard on the phone that on my computer. I also use my computer to add my TB visits to the logs at home rather than in the field. The edit function simply returns me to the same screen, no matter how many times I click on the little pencil icon. Quote Link to comment
+kribnkrew Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Same here. Picked up 65 caches over the weekend, need to edit a few but edit function not working...… Same results as others are reporting. Quote Link to comment
+froggie85 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I am having the same problem. I accidentally logged a found it on the wrong cache and can't delete it on my laptop. I was however able to go through my phone onto the geocaching website and edit/delete the log. It is a backdoor kind of way to get it done but it works for anyone willing to go that route until they fix the issue. Quote Link to comment

It works for me in Brave (a Firefox port) and Chrome, but at the moment it's slow and sometimes takes a couple of attempts. I haven't tested other functions. I haven't tried clearing "cookies", but I "accepted cookies" when the warning popped up. Quote Link to comment
+rich-c Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 its not working for me and also when you look at the log pages of the logs you have done it keeps going to page 1 and not page 2 onwards etc Quote Link to comment
+jiggs11 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Still no joy. Think the folks who fix this sort of thing would be a little quicker on the uptake. 1 Quote Link to comment

+cachercats Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Come on. Let us know what you are doing to fix this problem. I initially posted on 31 December of this issue. Also may other hav addressed this bug-a-Boo. 1 Quote Link to comment
+rjmcdonough1 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I'm having the same problem with a placeholder cache from the first. I hope the fix comes soon. 1 Quote Link to comment
+van der Decken Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 It might be worthwhile blocking the cookiebot.com site with one of the ad blocker/javascript blocker addons for your browser and seeing if that works around the problem. I've had that site blocked since it reared its head a few days ago and have had no trouble editing logs. Quote Link to comment
+cachercats Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 To take care of the editing problem I went to Google Chrome and made my changes, and it worked. So ridiculous to have to do that. but it solved the problem. Quote Link to comment
+Yateley Zookeepers Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Can you guys at Geocaching HQ please fix the log editing/correction function problem that cropped up around the time of the last system update. Otherwise it will build up a legacy of incomplete, illegible entries; especially as many put a lot of effort into delivering a clear story or message for log owners and future cachers. Many thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment
+pelley Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I also cannot edit or delete logs in Edge, it works in Chrome. However I prefer working in Edge. Hope (just as the rest) it will be fixed soon. Quote Link to comment
+Linda B. Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Bug is still persistent, here. I cannot edit logs in Edge or Internet Explorer. But it works in Chrome. Quote Link to comment
+alpinemm Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 The log edit function does not allow me to delete logs either. I accidently (through GSAK) logged about 10 caches that I have not found, and it won't let me delete them. Quote Link to comment
+CrazyCacheCats Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) ENGLISH: Edit function still does not work in the browser edge - Groundspeak is informed - Changing browsers to Chrome or Mozilla helps. It works for me via Mozilla. By the way: Writing in the forum was / is blocked with the Edge browser. As can be read from a previous post on the problem, it may also help to adjust the settings (Edge / Check cookies etc.) accordingly in Edge. GERMAN: Edit Funktion geht immer noch nicht im Browser Edge - Groundspeak ist informiert - Browserwechsel auf Chrome oder Mozilla schafft Abhilfe. Bei mir klapp's über Mozilla. Übrigens: Auch das Schreiben im Forum wurde/wird mit dem Browser Edge blockiert. Wie aus einem vorherigen Post zum Problem zu lesen ist, hilft es vielleicht auch, in Edge die Einstellungen (Sicherheit/Cookies etc. checken) entsprechend anzupassen.

+Engicators Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 We experienced the same problem today. Engicators Quote Link to comment
+rupe&di Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Experienced exactly the same problem. The edit function is simply not working with MS Edge browser but switched to Mozilla browser and worked a treat. The Geocaching people really should get this sorted. In the meantime they should post this as a known problem and advise on work-arounds. Quote Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I haven't any issues noticed after I went to the "new" Edge. Quote Link to comment
+HyppeSyster Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I've had this issue since the first of the year. Today I tried creating a new Cache locally (Washington State)... I have good Co-ords… but when I enter them in, I am shown that my co-ords are in China... what's with that??? Quote Link to comment

Are you typing the N/S/E/W part? Depending on what you enter, the same numbers will be in different parts of the map. For example, N 47° 46.585' W 117° 21.764' is in Washington State. Google Maps shows 47° 46.585' 117° 21.764' in China. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 The short term workaround for not being able to edit / delete your own cache logs is to use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox rather than Microsoft Edge. I ran into that myself today when I goofed up a log in my player account! Quote Link to comment

Yes, there should be a minus in front of 117° (- means West in Longitude and South in Latitude) => 47° 46.585' -117° 21.764' Edited February 16, 2020 by HHL Quote Link to comment
+TDI2000 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Using Windows 10 and Microsoft Edge I cannot edit or delete logs as many others have reported. Using Google Chrome I was able to edit the log, didn't try deleting with Chrome because the editing had worked. Quote Link to comment

+ambegador Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I have been having the same problem using Microsoft Edge, probably at least since the beginning of the year.

Is anyone else having this issue? Yes. I have not had Edit or delete capability on saved logs for more than two months. Another change is I no longer get a listing I can open and view when I create a pocket query or cache along a route. This change happened about the same time. I am a Premium member since 2005 and it is frustrating that GC cannot fix this problem. I have reported it several times and GC wants me to send snip-its of the problem. This is not a single-user issue. I have opened the Gecaching website under Foxfire and Google Chrome but have the same issues. Very Frustrating. TexasGreg Quote Link to comment

Microsoft Edge Version 80. If you mainly use "Edge" anyway or don't like to change Windows defaults too much, it's a pretty good option. Edited February 29, 2020 by kunarion Quote Link to comment
