Geocaching Australia

I was having issues logging caches yesterday. I'd fill in the log and when I pushed submit I'd get a server error. If I went back to cache page, then into the logging page, pasted in my text and it worked. Happened on half a dozen caches, then it seemed to come good.

Searching as a team is usually faster and fun. Of course both (all) finders need to sign the log.

Thanks!

There are no stupid questions. However I have been known to have quite a few stupid answers.

Ask away!

You could just put up the $ for a second account.

I light of my interpretation above, I propose the following in place of my original proposal. We would leave the Mega-Event listings in place as standard lists of events and dashboards. We would let the event organisers to use the forums as they do now (subject to not using the forum to name or lin...

I think the rules are clear. Groundspeak (GC.com) do what ever they like on their site. They are the final arbiter. End of discussion.

In fairness, GCA are the same at the GCA site.

I didn't want to do a rebuttal as it won't help things, but I feel I have to: 1st. The company that runs the MadCacher blog has recently acquired NaviCache. So there are three "profit" based listing sites. That we're aware of anyway. http://www.madcacher.com/new/navicache-com-acquisition/ Navicache...

It should be said that Opencaching.com whilst owned by a commercial company does NOT charge for any of it's services and is therefore not a financial competitor to groundspeak on ANY level, this new ruling from them locks out ALL community based listing sites from being mentioned in anything signif...

GSAK will do that. Just manually create them in GSAK. You can print them out and they'll look similar to GC or GCA. They can even be printed out with the Google map.

You can use GSAK for free for a reasonable period.

And of course you can load your GPS from GSAK too.

You can now do this yourself, and save the faeries a few cycles.

Works a treat.

I've optimised my pocket queries from 16 to 7. Obviously I've reduced the area I'm watching in the process, dropped a lot of area I've not got round to visiting any way and freed up query slots that can be used at the last minute if I do get to go.

Perfect.

I guess I'd really like to set up the query in the query page, with all of the filters that are already there. Then as output, a report that shows date ranges needed be able to return the result in blocks of 500 or 1000. In line with PQ limitations.

As for time frame, when it suits you.

Cheers..

Of course I can. Give me your username and password and I'll make sure the next time you logon your numbers will be different to what they are now :mrgreen: Thanks C@W. I did talk with the Geowife and she pointed out that it's not really fair to ask you to assist outside of GCA, as you do so much a...

For a long time now I've populated Gsak by running a collection of queries that pick up all the caches in a date window within a radius of 300km of "Southbank". I used this method rather than looking at the state as I wanted to ensure I picked up caches over the border. To be effective this now need...
