Change History

Moderators will move threads from "Checker requests" into this forum after a while when it has been decided that the challenge checker isn't possible for one or another reason. The threads should not be moved right away. The challenge owner should have a chance to adjust his requirements if that helps.

Re: GC9ZWM8 Change tag values
No, if you clone a tag, you cannot change it. It says so, very clearly, when you click the Clone button:

[quote=Clone]
Create an identical tag for your own challenge. The only thing you need to provide is a new GC Code, the rest will be copied from the current tag.

[b]The new tag will be identical to the old one with the exception of the linked challenge. You can not edit the tag afterwards. If you need a customized tag you should request one in the Checker request forum.[/b]

Do not lose the link after the new tag has been created, you can not retrieve it from the system again. Even worse, you can not make another clone since there already is a tag created for the GC-Code.
[/quote]

Unfortunately, we cannot edit it either. That challenge checker is there forever. The best course of action is to archive that listing ((ie. throw away that GC#), create a new listing, and then request a checker for that new listing through this forum.

Either way, note that this Challenge is not publishable.

Competition rather than achievement. Examples: challenges based on "First to Finds" or [b]lonely caches [/b] are competitions.
