I just got a new cache approved and i noticed that is doesnt have the 'NEW' logo beside it. Is there glitch in the system or what?

Is it older than a week? They're only new for so long. It's based on the date placed, not the date approved.

Your newest cache was placed on the 31st of August. The new tag only lasts for (I think) 6 days from the hidden date, so you just missed it.

As I recall, this cache first appeared in my review queue sometime over the Labor Day weekend, and I finished checking all the stages of your multicache this morning. When submitted, your cache had an 8/31 hidden date, even though you put the cache into the review queue much later than that. I see you have since changed the date. That is fine. You are the cache owner and, initially, I think you ought to be able to choose any date on or before the listing date to use as the "hidden" date for your cache.

 

Previously, I used to edit the cache page to bump the date up to the current date, whenever there was a long lag time. Delays happen for any number of reasons, such as waiting for a park permit, or working out questions that the reviewer asks. But I have quit doing that because of criticism that I was falsifying reality. If someone wishes to falsify reality, then I leave that option to the cache owner.

i see know, yes i changed the date from the 31 to the 6th. I thought once a cache was aprroved no matter when the date said it was hidden it showed up as new. the reaosn it showed the 31st of Aug was becuase thats when i first walked the trail and i made a cache page with was not active yet mainly to store the coords incase i lost them. In reality i didnt place the caches till yesterday when i had it reviewed.

 

thanks for the info!
