+SuzeeeQ Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I got notification over 2 hours ago that a new cache has been posted, however, when I log into it, it shows not there yet. Is this normal, I don't remember having that issue before. It was with in 5 miles of where I live so I thought I would get a good chance at an FTF, but now I don't think so. Quote Link to comment

It may have been disabled by its owner if they noticed a problem straight after it was published (or perhaps they hadn't put the cache out yet) or it may have been retracted by the reviewer if it was published by mistake or an issue came to light. What is its GC code? 2 Quote Link to comment

What is its GC code? If it was disabled it should be there on the map, greyed out..... if retracted, you won't find a sniff of it anywhere..... Quote Link to comment

I have notifications set for "retracted" geocaches. Quote Link to comment

That shows how much I use the official app I suppose.... Website and cachly - greyed out. Why is the official app so dumbed down?? This is a serious question. Maybe there needs to be a 'remove training wheels' switch in there somewhere.... Cachly even shows you where your unpublished hides are on the map - this is extremely useful, yet nowhere in any 'official' app/map is it available..... sorry - off topic rant over..... 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm kind of glad it doesn't show disabled caches as it stops the uninitiated from going out and trying to find them. I have a bunch disabled at the moment due to weather-related track closures and, from what I've seen of some of the tracks that are still open, it's probably not a good idea for people to go traipsing in there. 8 minutes ago, lee737 said: Cachly even shows you where your unpublished hides are on the map - this is extremely useful, yet nowhere in any 'official' app/map is it available..... sorry - off topic rant over..... Yep, that would be very handy . Quote Link to comment
+ChriBli Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I've seen this happen before. That time it was a cache that was supposed to be published at a specified date and time (to coincide with an event) but was published by mistake before that. The reviewer or the owner immediately noticed the mistake and the listing was retracted until the proper time. The notification emails had already gone out though. Quote Link to comment
+K13 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 We had a similar experience after an event last weekend. 5 caches published at the scheduled time. Locals got the email notification and were able to open the cache page through the email link. It was about 45 minutes later before the new caches appeared on the app. Quote Link to comment
