Post by Freddo » 30 March 05 9:01 pm

Does anyone have a useful method for doing this?

Any clues out there?

You pretty much have to ask. The wizards only update finds not hides persay.

If someone has found the cache, the details should be in the feed so the cache will be added. If not, one way to get them in the database is email a gpx of the hides (you can make one with GSAK) to ideology.

What's missing? We can check if something has been missed and maybe prevent it happening again.

Two archived caches. Mountains of Macaroni and Dial S for ...

They do not appear on my list for some reason.

Mountains of Macaroni:

Dial S for ...

A keyword search brought these up. Is there somewhere you expect to see them that they aren't?

But they've shown up as owned by "Freddo the Frog", which appears to be a separate account to Freddo's. Perhaps that's why it's not showing up under his regular account?<p>
Maybe a way to 'combine' users is required.

Thanks for the prompt service with Dial S...

I reckon i fixed Mountains when I reactivated it. Never let a good cache die for too long.

Now if we could only fix that other problem with the logs (sound of whining).
