The Foster Clan Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 How long does it take for a cache log to show up on the site? Are they instant or do they need to be approved first? Thanks, Jon. Come visit us on the web!! The JJ&C Railroad Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Logs when you FIND a cache should show up instantly. After you submit your log, you'll be taken to a page that lets you read it, with a link back to the cache page. If you don't see that, something went wrong (like taking more than the 45 minute limit to compose it). When you HIDE a cache, the cache page needs to be reviewed. Depending on the day, and whether issues are presented by the cache, approval can happen in just a few hours, up to a day or two. You get an e-mail notice that confirms your cache submission was received. If you don't see that confirmation, something went wrong (again, there's a 45 minute rule). x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x I was formerly employed by the Department of Redundancy Department, but I don't work there anymore.

Jon, welcome to geocaching! Keep up those long posts! I hate reading those silly one line "found it! took something, left something. Thanks!" posts. I find it easier to compose my logs in a test editor first, then just cut and paste it into the website. This way you can spell check it and everything with out adding all those "last edited on" msgs at the bottom. Tae-Kwon-Leap is not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon.

+Roadster Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 That is what I do, cause I have to have spell check! And it's not fun when after you type a long cache info and it is past 45 minutes then you click submit, then you find you have to retype it all. The early bird gets the worm, but the 2nd mouse gets the cheese. Quote Link to comment
+Ozarktroutbum Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 I've gotten in the habit of copying to the clipboard before I hit submit. The back button will take you back to a blank form... When GPSr's are outlawed, only Outlaws will have GPSr's. Quote Link to comment

My spelling is ok, but my typo's are killer. Wherever you go there you are. Quote Link to comment

I like writing long logs, and I like them to be *exactly* as I want them. So I spend ages on them, then go back and re-read them before posting them. Bill Edit: I've just noticed Mopar's typo in the quote. Perhaps we should use text editors for the forums too! Quote Link to comment
The Foster Clan Posted March 14, 2003 Author Share Posted March 14, 2003 I'm a really slow writer and an even worse speller so I guess I'll have to do it the same way from now on. My original find log did show up on it's own though. Thanks, Jon. Come visit us on the web!! The JJ&C Railroad Quote Link to comment
