There is a proposal for a new system of allocating stars for number of cache finds here.

G'day All, <p> It became clear from the discussion in this thread that the current scheme for indicating the number of cache finds by allocating stars is not comprehensive enough for the current crop of cachers. <p> So, here is my proposal for extending the stars system beyond the current 4000 finds...

I've been thinking about this (in bed last night), and I reckon I have a scheme that would be good for totals up to 49900!
<p>
I'll give it further thought, and propose a new system here that people can comment on.
<p>
Stay tuned.
<p>
Cheers,

It uses your finds as logged on GCA. <p> Which, as I said in my original post, is 5225! <p> Its giving you a correct answer, but maybe not the one you expect, 5225 is more than 4000 and the accompanying photo is a star nursery. <p> Well, 5225 is more than 5000 too, so why doesn't it show me as havi...

G'day, <p> I have tried the automatic stars update feature, but it's not working for me. It merely says: "The forums stars for dak's Emu Mob have been updated to: 4000 or more caches found." In fact, I've found over 5000 caches. <p> I've tried this a couple of times over the past couple of months, t...

G'day Ayzeds, <p> The best way to do this is with some sort of mapping program. Now, unless I'm wrong, your eXplorist 100 doesn't have any mapping, so using Magellan's MapSend probably isn't an option. Unless of course you <i>do</i> have a copy of MapSend, MapSend Lite, or DiscoverAus. <p> So, the n...

I have no problem about phoning a friend. I don't consider it to be a bad thing. I never call for help after only a five minute 'boy look'. I will have spent at least 30 minutes, usually more. However, here are some reasons I call for help: <p> <ul> <li>I have put in a considerable effort to find it...

"Another find by". I won't put the full details in but some **** has something to do with it.

In the words of a famous sailor Man "I yam who I yam" :P <p> Hmmmmm! There is no such username on Geocaching.com. So, what is your real geocaching name? Is it Popeye? Apparently not, because he is from California. <p> So, I challenge you to 'out' yourself, or am I right that you are too ashamed to ...

.................. .................... However and unfortunately when we see a log appear in our inbox from a cacher that we know doesn't take any effort in writing a log, we must admit that we ..................... Name and Shame them :twisted: <p> Sock puppets not allowed here! How about naming ...

I'll add my name to the list of "short log in the book, decent log online", but I'm not prepared to say I'm "guilty" of it. Actually, I like the US attitude to log books: Date, Time, Name, full stop! It makes the log book last a heck of a lot longer. <p> However, I always write a decent log online, ...

G'day All, <p> If you have seen my GC.com profile page, you would have seen that my all-time favourite cache is "Columba" in San Francisco. Why is it so? It's stretching the brain cells a bit, because I logged it way back in January 2004, but here goes: <p> I was in Sacramento, on business. I had on...

G'day, As the originator of this thred, I believe it has served its purpose. I'd like to have it closed now, please. Recent posts might better be served in a new thread, or preferably by private messages. Thanks to all who have contributed. I have already noticed an increase in the level of discussi...

Mr Router,

It just occurred to me that you must be online; I'm online; the Yak Pak must work at times other than Friday nights, so we *could* have a yak right now, couldn't we?

I assume all I need is a headset?

Cheers,

dak

Is that the Royal "we"?

Seriously though, thanks for committing to reminding me. I'm looking forward to it already, although I can't escape the feeling that I'll be walking into a beating.

Cheers,
