When in doubt, the wiki knows everything.

Why is this cache (gnome) listed as being at "Sydney" ? This location ought to be "Dural" - it always has been in the past

Blame Google.

This is what the location API returns.
<formatted_address>270 New Line Rd, Sydney NSW 2158, Australia</formatted_address>
It says that address is Sydney, not Dural.

It looks like an anomaly in the Google database.
I'm afraid there's not much I can do about it except change it manually and hope it doesn't crop up again.

Hi. One of my new caches Gc2wp07 http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_de ... ae8e0e6dc7 is not showing on the gca web site as still awaiting ftf. Is there something I need to do to fix this?

Download the GPX of the cache from the cache page, log in to GCA and import the GPX from the import function under the My tab on the front page.

Hi

Have tried this and it does not fix the issue, the cache is in the GCA database, just not showing as awaiting first to find?

Ps. when I did this the cache did not import as it was already there!

Would it not be showing because it is my cache?

Aha. It was hidden 22 May 11. The Awaiting FTF only keeps the last two weeks (I think).

Whatever do you mean? :lol: (I fixed it)

It can take up to 6 or 7 days for a cache to make it to our site.(usually about 3 days for most states) It only went live 2 days ago


BTW: If you notice a cache missing, you can go to that caches page on GC and select Download GPX and go to http://geocaching.com.au/my/import and add it there

gc23mz9 appears to have been missed from the 'feed' for the last month and I assume was automatically marked as archived. It's not - it's still alive and kicking. I've imported logs, but obviously can't unarchive it on GCA - are you able to help?

Cheers, Mark.

Not so much a GCA issue as a 'My issue'.

I cannot get my new caches out of draft (GA3268). I have published it but it still shows a being in draft.
I am obviously doing something wrong, but I am not smart enough to figure it out. :oops:

Thank you for your help Fairies.

You got me.
I logged a published log and it went through.
This is weird.
http://geocaching.com.au/cache/GA3268

Did you get any error message at all when you logged it as published?
