There is a lone grave where I live. Thomas Lucas. An early convict settler I believe.

You know what? I've never googled myself before - that was scary. I apparently have 2 Facebook accounts under different spellings of my real name (one in London and the other Seattle), Real Estate stuff came up from the sale of my last house, stuff from an email list I've been on for about 10yrs. My...

Thanks mm and c@w . Now I know - I didn't realise this was a problem that comes up fairly regularly. BTW Map Monkey - why were you late to that Event?

I've just noticed a missing log of mine. The Event GC19RBZ has my 'will attend' on the GCA site, but not my 'did attend', so it says 'you have yet to find this cache' at the top. On the GC page it has both logs. There are some other logs from other people not on the GCA page too. Just thought I'd me...

Are there many premium member caches around? I've not found one yet. I suppose there is a c@w stat somewhere, but where I don't know. Do they still look the same as normal ones on google earth?

I sometimes take my 8yo nephew caching, but being a bit of a computer geek already, he wanted his own name. I help him with his logs because it doesn't happen that often. When he's older he might get into it more and then he'll have his early finds already there. Sometimes he's the finder anyway, as...

The Brisbane City Council found the same problem when they introduced the new smart cards on public transport last week The cards rely on GPS to know where the bus, ferry or train you are getting on and off of is, to know how much money to debit the card for your journey. No one apparently thought ...

Like lots of people I just used the start of my email address when I first logged in, not even knowing what geocaching was about at the time. Then I was stuck with it.
My initials are JB, and at school my nickname was Jabes. If I'd known, I'd have picked something better.

Those maps have nothing to do with our site (if I go to GC and look at their maps I get the same error) Are you aware that we have no affiliation with the geocaching.com site? Yes I am aware that the 2 sites are different, but I'm sort of a bit vague about where the line is between the two. I alway...

Bit hungover maybe? :wink: I'm having a little problem that I wonder if is due to the changes. When I'm looking at a cache page on GC, then click the link to google maps to see where it is, I get this message EO.Web Controls Client Side Debug Message: An error occurred while applying the new output....

Hit Send before I had finished - I know this has been discussed many times, but the Event has been listed as being in a different place than it actually is, which is a bit of a nuisance.
