Tb Activation Location/date

[+Uno Mas]

I have a couple new TB's that I want to activate before going on vacation. I plan on dropping the off along the way. Do I put the activation location as my home or where I am planning on dropping them off. I think I want their starting point to be the cache I drop them off in, not my home town. Also... I'm not positive that I will find a cache in a couple of the spots I'm visiting, so if I activate them now with the vaction destination as the activation location and then don't find a home for them there is there any way to fix that?

 

I want to activate them before I leave because I don't know when I'll get to a PC while on holiday. This was, if they are found before I can get to a computer at least they will be in the system.

 

One last question... how do I upload a photo of my TB? I didn't see anything when I looked at the activation page. I'm uploaded photos for travel bugs I've found but this is my first attempt at starting my own.

 

Thank you!

Activating TBs does not "place" them anywhere. It just, well, activates them. So once you activate your TBs they'll show up as in your hands until you place them in a cache. As such, you don't need to worry about activating then not immediately finding a cache during your vacation since they don't "go" anywhere until you place them in a cache.

 

For the photo, after you activate the TB and go to its page you'll see a link in the upper right that says "Upload an image". After the image is uploaded you have the option to automatically show the image on the TB page. Hope that helps!

Thanks, I thought that was how it worked. Unfortunately I backed out of the activation and the poor thing has not activation location. I'll do better on the next ones!
