+rblaw Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 I want to convert a single cache to a multicache. But changing that feature does not seem to be an option on the edit page. Suggestions? Quote
+TeamK-9 Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 Send an email to your local approval, or just send an email to the general email address for geocaching. Quote
+Prime Suspect Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 If people have already logged it, then I would suggest just archiving the old cache and creating a new one. Otherwise, you're changing people's cache history. If someone has found 8 traditional caches and 3 multi-caches, suddenly it will say they have 7 traditional and 4 multi-caches. But they didn't find 4 multis. If you haven't noticed yet, there are some people here who are real picky about their stats. Quote
Deego Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 I would agree with Prime Suspect. But not only for the stats reason. If it was local to me I would like to re do it as it would be different, But if I had logged it already then it would not show on my PQ so I would miss the chance Quote
+mtn-man Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...x?pf=&ID=108433 The cache is a new cache and only has one find. If you change it a lot you might want to write to the first finder and let them do it again and if the cache box is being moved too. In any case, go to the bottom of the cache page. There you will see who it was approved by. Click on their name and you will go to their profile page. You can send them an email from there. Send them the URL to the cache so they know which one you are talking about quickly. Good luck on your decision. Quote
+Right Wing Wacko Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 I agree with the others. If there are finds, the type should not be changed. There are a couple Virtuals on my find list that were regular caches when I first found them, but got converted later. If the type changes, it's a new cache. Archive and create a new one. It's not like it's a lot of extra work (in fact it's probably easier) to just create a new cache. Quote
+rblaw Posted January 4, 2004 Author Posted January 4, 2004 Thanks for all the tips. I now understand why it would be best to leave the cache were it is and start a new multicache. Quote
TimSkells Posted January 4, 2004 Posted January 4, 2004 I would just create a new multi and leave that one Quote
