Question

Can we have a marker on the challenge checkers so we know when we have used them?

We are avid users of the challenge checkers but after a few weeks when we go back we are not sure if we have used it or not. When looking we have seen that others have the same problem we have seen numerous notes on the same cache from the same cacher saying that he qualifies this must irritate the cache owner and fill up the cache page superfluous logs.

Thanks

Answer 1

Dont know if this will help you out, but I always mark a challenge cache that I qualify for with the original coordinates in the note field.

That way PGC will find the challenge as a solved mystery in the profile tab -> Solved mysterys.

We have made similar marks on the caches themselves. But when looking through checkers on Project GC it would help immensely if there was a simple marker to say we have used it. Such as the smiley face when we have found the said cache.

After this explanation it makes sense. I only don't get the second long paragraph.
This sounds like good idea for me.

Nice, but when the marker is changed afterwards e.g. fixing a misconfiguration, this marker needs to be reset IMO.

I'm using a combination of GC lists and these valueable checkers:

When playing around with the checkers finding an interesting one, which I currently don't fullfil, I put the challenge chache  into a private Challenge List I need to recheck. The comment to this Cache is the Check Date and a backlink to the used checker. Challenges I directly fulfill come into my 'Finalisation' List same commented. This list goes on a regular basis into a PQ or can be handled through other project-gc capabilities.  Writing 'fulfilled' notes into the Cache itself is not necessary and might confuse the Cache Owner .
