It absolutely should not take this long. I have never seen a 1,000 cache PQ take longer than 2 minutes.

A PQ of 1000 caches can take anything from 2 minutes to 10 minutes. I have assumed it is the fact that I live so far from HQ.

I also have a sneaky suspicion that HQ run a mirror server that serves some countries.

Too bad

It was a traditional.  I have asked a reviewer.

 I don't think reviewers will let a new mystery publish that has challenge in the title and is not a Challenge cacHe

It is still allowed. We had one published here a few days ago

 Multiple color highlights plus multiple lists viewable at once would take care of this need for me in Map View.

That's what I am waiting for

Lots of caches with challenge in the name without being a challenge cache. Project GC have developed an algorithm that gets rid of most of them.

I always call it the Map Options icon.

OK. I will amend the wiki

>>>>> Post edited - wiki updated

Map Chooser icon or Map Selector icon?

Currently the tracking code field is completed for items in your inventory but not for your owned trackables. I assume this is an API restriction. 

Storing trackables offline is still 1st prize. 

Is county available from the API?  I thought geocaching.com only recorded Country and State. 

Edits completed. 

OK. The process is the same so there is one wiki page. I will just have to edit slightly. 

The cache details page referred only to the live page. The ... menu for live caches vs offline caches is different.

I have changed the Cache details page to show both. I have linked to existing pages where possible but still have a number of items that have no explanation. Not sure where to put this but probably right down at the bottom of the Cache Details page with a link from the top.

The offline section also has no reference to individual caches. It deals mainly with the handling of the lists. I think there must be a very short paragraph somewhere referring to the tapping of an individual list to get to the Cache Details page. Still trying to find the appropriate spot.>>>>>>>edited - I have put it right at the start.

On the live map you have the option to "Save to Offline List" and on the Cache Details Page it is "Add to Offline List" Was this deliberate?

I think so. I need to write some more clarifying this.

Late at night here. If you have not fixed the wiki by tomorrow I will make the changes  

The fact that you can only check one of the list adds to the confusion 

Just removed the log type from the template and checked it. Not automatically brought in to mesage

I thought  by adding the log type to a template achieved that. Just tested that. 

Template with log type Found. No check mark on the list. Automatically adds to found log. 

That was quick. Did not even have a chance to create the new page and it was there.

I have made some edits. Nothing major.

What is the effect of the check mark on the list of templates? Other than for a bit of the message to be displayed on the settings screen.

I think the wiki is a bit thin on the creation and use of text templates. 

Do you think it could be covered in its own page in more detail?

Oxford comma? Please?

That was a typo. There were going to be more but I ran out of examples. Never heard of an Oxford comma until now

They REALLY stink with consistently handling date/time/time zones

 

Yep - one wonders why they do not just change the date field to a text field

How do we refer to Geocaching HQ and their website?

Geocaching.com, geocaching.com, Geocaching HQ, the Geocaching website,??

I'm about to get on an airplane. If someone has time, can they edit http://www.cach.ly/help/index.php/FAQ#Updating_a_log_entry . Now that we can edit within Cachly, this should be updated to reflect the change - editing in Cachly vs Geocaching.com

If not, I'll get to it over the weekend.

Thanks

Changed - thanks for the heads up.
