I reported an earth cache as found on April 22, 2024 but did not receive a souvenir. How come ..read more

Hypothetical concept to run past you lot: Picture a variety of multiple stage geocaches, (whether they be multi, mystery, letterbox, or even Wherigo), each starting at a different waypoint, but sharing the same second virtual waypoint. Maybe there is a small sign on an island in a lake with numbers on it, for example, but it could be anything that counts as terrain 5 (T5)and pre-existing and able to be a virtual stage. Each of these different geocaches (shown as different colors in my example diagram) could then use the information at the shared second virtual waypoint differently, based on th ..read more

When I say how many containers, can you have more than one ? - I don't mean those instances where you have double potted containers as they are obviously in the one location and there for logsheet protection.  I am referring to having a cache container in one location (GZ) and a second hidden a little way off as a back up container  Is there a guideline/rule about this    ddm ..read more

For the last several weeks, I’ve had problems receiving text messages from HQ for anything from New cache placement notifications  to notifications that I’ve receive a message from another geocacher. The text messages I receive arrive jumbled and unreadable. I don’t receive any messages anymore for new cache placements.  I contacted HQ for help and all they told me was to contact AT&T. However, as this is only happening with messages from HQ and no other automated system, I think the issue is on their side and I’m wondering if anyone else is having this issue. Please let me know ..read more

Last year we had Wheel of Challenges, which if I understood correctly, was a pretty big success globally. Last year it was announced in March and started in April. Is there something similar planned for this year? Any news anywhere ive missed?   I really enjoyed having monthly challenges to gamify the experience a bit ..read more

OK, for all you stat freaks like me, I'm trying to find the best way to filter based on hidden month and day of the calendar, but not limiting it to year. Why? There's a lot of challenges based on filling the hidden date calendar with a specific type / size / attribute. Or perhaps a challenge to find all sizes/types/difficulties/terrains... hidden on one day or one month. Some examples are: GCA3VD4 Busy hidden day - all 7 sizes challenge GCAHP8B Leap Day hidden challenge GC9XA74 Gridbusters: Hidden month / found month challenge GC6JV7B Gridrunner Challenge: One Date Placed Starbar GC6JV7D Gri ..read more

It's time to let it go.  What I am referring to is the "Great Story" and "helpful" tabs at the end of the logs.  NO ONE is using them.   I can randomly scroll down the logs of any cache and I have yet to see one of those tabs checked.  It is a useless feature that is ignored.  What it does do it take up more space in the logs so it takes longer to scroll through them.  Kudos to HQ for trying something new.  It didn't work out as expected which is OK.   Own up to it and just remove them.  It's not the end of the world ..read more
