+Fobrokel Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I suggest to add a chronological sorting option to the souvenirs page. Currently souvenirs are displayed in alphabetical order but I’d be interested in seeing the most recently earned souvenirs first. 6 2 1 Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Other useful options might include listing the location-based Souvenirs (e.g., countries, states/provinces) separately from the date-based Souvenirs (e.g., Goodbye 2019, Hello 2020) separately from the event-based Souvenirs (e.g., mega-events) separately from other Souvenirs. 3 2 Quote Link to comment

Agreed. - Though right now there's a few more pressing things I'd like time spent on, thanks. Edited January 5, 2020 by cerberus1 Quote Link to comment

The "Other" category includes most of the souvenir promotions, like the current "Mystery at the Museum." Within each souvenir category, the individual souvenirs are displayed in the order earned, with the date indicated. Here is one workaround. Another is to view your souvenirs in the official Geocaching App. Quote Link to comment

The app gets pretty close to what was requested. Again, just a workaround. Quote Link to comment

+Maris4 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) I've been caching for 10+ years. I eant to suggest to add "Sort by" function for the souvenirs. The A-Z is not bad, but "Sort by date" would help find the latest souvenirs much much faster. Edited February 2, 2020 by Maris4 2 1 Quote Link to comment

+cerberus1 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Maybe it's a program-not-theirs thing, but often asked for. Funny that it was only a couple years ago some got harassed for asking the same thing. Popular again now I guess... But I'd prefer they're grouped by what they are (state/country, promotions, etc) and in order within their grouping. Thanks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Actually that's only fade them in your own list, not hide them. It gets rid of them in the public list, but not your own list. I now don't try to get souvenirs that are not location. Unfortunately they still happen. I wish I could delete souvenirs I don't want; basically any that aren't countries, states and the like. It would be great to be able to drag the souvenirs around to suit too. I would list by country and then their states, etc. 2 Quote Link to comment

I accidentally logged a Found instead of a Note and got a country souvenir for a country I've never visited. I asked HQ to delete it for me. And you're right- sometimes it could be hard to make sure you don't get a specific one. Quote Link to comment

"hiding" not the same, and getting souvenirs not wanted just because we cached that day, we found that HQ will delete them for us if asked. Quote Link to comment
+thebruce0 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 If you consider "your list" the souvenir "management" page, then it makes sense to show them all to you and "hide" them - from the public list. Hide implies that. Delete implies remove them from entirely. There isn't a 'private list' and a 'public list', only the public list, and your management page. That's the best way to think of it, given the way HQ has implemented these mechanics. On that note, it would be nice if there was a 'Delete' (not that I'd use it, but this is been a long-time request that to me only makes sense :)) Quote Link to comment

I didn't think I wanted to actually delete them, but now I think if that was the only option given I would delete the unwanted ones. As it is now I no longer have interest in getting non-geographical souvenirs, as they clog the list. I still occasionally earn souvenirs by accident. If the geographical souvenirs and and the others could have separate lists, that might actually spark my interest again to do souvenirs. Quote Link to comment

Maybe too many people are now asking for them to be removed. If that's the case; stubbornness on HQs part for not supplying a delete button, or a sorting option. 2 Quote Link to comment

That's odd, I wonder if it's someone who doesn't understand what you were requesting somehow... We've had a number of "unwanted" souvenirs removed by HQ. We didn't cache an entire month a few years ago because we would have received an "unwanted" souvenir for every day out. I mentioned it in these forums, and was told by a Lackey that we could simply send them a mail to remove them. And have. Quote Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 If we're no longer going to be able to have unwanted souvenirs removed from our profiles, I feel there should be a button to click, to participate (or not...) for every marketing promotion. I've been asking for this since the '13 "31 days of geocaching" promotion, but later said (and numerous times...) "now that we can mail HQ to delete them, I'm good" with no correction from anyone. 2 Quote Link to comment

+Goldenwattle Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I hadn't checked my souvenirs for some time, and was reminded when I got a like on a comment here, so I checked them. It seems I earned, 'Blue Switch Day 2020' without trying or knowing about this, or how I earned it. I ticked to fade it like I have for all those others I don't want. My choice would be to permanently delete it and others I don't want. Quote Link to comment

+ecanderson Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Once thing I realized recently when opening up the 'official' phone app recently is that the "Hide" option that works on the main web site doesn't hide anything on the phone app. All souvenirs appear there no matter what you do about "Hide" here on this site. Annoying. Quote Link to comment
