Sorry to be a nuisance . . . but I can't work this one out . . .

I placed a 'late' BINGO the other day GA5689 Purple and Green BINGO Hopper, and listed it as published and hidden on 1 Dec 2012. I also gave it a BINGOtag.

However, unlike my other three BINGOs, this one doesn't show up on the ladders . . .

Help!

Many thanks in advance.

You need to enter the cache in the game.

Have you "Created your Cache" in the Bingo Game? http://www.cachinggames.com/bingo/cachecreate.php

Does anyone know anything about GA4636? Is it supposed to be in the game or still in draft form in reality?

It looks live.

I'd guess the owner didn't provide any co-ords and then published it. Maybe write to the owner and ask where on earth it is because it's certainly not at 0,0.

Now, I don't know how LEGAL the changes I just made. One of my leapfrog caches was still active, and it has a vague relationship to transport. I reset the hide date to 1 Dec this year, and tagged with Bingo. My only intent is to give cachers more options in Bingo & keep my moveable moving.

Happy to revert to previous settings if not deemed legal.

I had the same thought and trolled through my archived GCA caches for missing numbers.

For people who found this last year, it will automatically tick off their bingo cards. That's the only thing that some may see as "cheating" even if the finder / mover had no intent.

Okie. Maybe not the best idea then. Cheers.

Even with a new publish date of 1/12/12?

[caughtatwork]

Yes. Unless all the logs were deleted (and I don't recommend you do that). To the game software a game piece has no start date. Once it's in, it's all in.

[gregandjudi]

Can i propose a new game after this one is finished. Moveable caches that have QR codes attached. Find the cache, scan it straight away to indicate its been found then place somewhere else later. I would dig that! Can someone explain how i can create QR codes, LOL!

Go to your cache page.
Print QR code.
Attach to cache.

Hmmmmm, wants to print the whole page....

Try this site, just paste your cache URL into the box
http://www.qrstuff.com/

O M G !!!! That site is fracking AMAZING
your'e a genius Keith!


Nice big image.

Until today was very naive to QR code . OK - forgive me for being uninitiated, but that is amazing . I used code to take my phone straight to GCA page, ring my home & go straight to my facebook profile. I'm sold.

Wasn't this scenario discussed in the original thread and the ruling made that only new caches were allowed?

[gregandjudi]

Yes. Unless all the logs were deleted (and I don't recommend you do that). To the game software a game piece has no start date. Once it's in, it's all in.

Point taken, removed from race . Our 2 new caches entered only .

Have only entered & logged into forums in the last week so did not see previous discussions & haven't read through the 40 pages already logged.
