Has the CGA CGC site been changed?

Post by blackadders » 24 February 14 11:30 am

Hmm two questions guys,

Firstly I cannot find a search box for the forums or am I just blind?

Secondly, in reference to question 1, I had been trying to find out if there have been any updated/changes to the CGA and CGC sites in that I attempted to to edit a log recorded while in the field, I edited the log but could not see any button to upload the changes, or again, am I blind? In the past I remember seeing an upload button.

Thanks guys, happy caching

In the forum, on the sub navigation bar under the header logo, look for Search.
http://forum.geocaching.com.au/search.php

GCA doesn't have the facility to edit a log through the GA Cacher app (as far as I am aware). You can edit logs via the website on a mobile browser as you would via a PC. Which log were you editing?

Thanks for that caught at Work,

Due to the small size of my smartphone it is very hard to type any decent log on the small keyboard therefore I am resorting to sending a word, usually "later" to actually log the find, then have been editing it when returning home. I am aware after some searching earlier this morning that one can not edit logs using the apps.

I have a number of finds that I wish to edit from a few hours out searching the other day, As mentioned I have dont this before but today I can not see an upload or submit icon/button ?

Thanks

GCA site had a save button down on the bottom left of the edit page. GC has a Submit Log Entry button on the left below the trackable stuff.

Thanks Geo_jas,

Unless I am mistaken and blind the word "had" in your comment is the operative. I do remember editing on the CGA site in the past and hitting the save button, but I can no longer see it?

Regards

Paul

Thanks Caughtatwork,

If I could work out how to upload the screenshot in here it would be great. I am sorry but I have no idea? I have done a printscreen and copied it to my desktop but now what?

Thanks

Paul

Gotcha. You cannot edit a log at Geocaching Australia OTHER than a log belonging to a Geocaching Australia cache.

Even though there is a link to edit the log, we remove the SAVE button. This is misleading and we shouldn’t even allow you to try and edit those sorts of logs. I’ll apply a patch fix to stop this confusion.

In the meantime do as you did. i.e. Edit the log at the original listing site and wait for it to filter through.

Thankyou very much for that, I had thought that my age had something to do with me going senile or something LOL
