TB discovern and after 500 it stops?

Fri, 10 Sep 2021 06:24:23 +0000

I was able to have a look at a huge TB collection at an event recently and added over 600 TB codes to discover them - after 500 successful discoveries the tool stopped and hasn't continued for hours now. What could be the problem?

Feature Request: Discover Tool remember last log date

Fri, 20 Dec 2019 13:30:55 +0000

I discover trackables with the correct date, for example when I have seen them at events.

When I visit geocaching.com/track/ discover-page, the form remembers the last discover date. This way I can log the TBs of the event from December 10th individually, then those from the event on December 14th and then those from yesterday on December 19th.

Project-GC's Discover Tool always shows the current date in the form (today December 20). Here I would like a possibility (checkbox) for "use the last log date".

I especially like to log coins by owner individually - because some coin collections are very expensive and deserve an individual log.
E.g. "Thanks Peter for showing your coins today", "Thanks Tom for showing your new Giga Berlin Coins" and in another discover job "Thanks Melli for showing your fine collection". Thus I've several jobs with multiple tracking codes and different log texts to run.
Unfortunately I sometimes used the wrong date. Not bad but not beautiful either.

So the behavior of geocaching.com/track/ would be fine (as option).

Of course this functionality does not have to be implemented on the web server. It is also completely okay if this happens with a cookie or otherwise locally in the browser.

TB discoveries - logs are encrypted

Wed, 24 Aug 2016 22:54:05 +0000

I used the TB discovery tool for around forty TBs. When I went to check the discoveries on the website, I noticed that all log entries are encrypted. I couldn't find any option to affect this. Is this a bug or how can I discover TBs with normal logs, not encrypted?

Prevent duplicate discoveries

The tool for logging discoveries of trackables are great! It was before, but even more now.

I have a couple of suggestions, though:

1. I have heard some cachers that don't like to log the same discovery twice. So at events, where this mass-discoveries most frequently happends, they take care to just log the trackables that they havn't discovered before.

Would it be possible to have this as an option in the tool? To not discover trackables already discovered?

2. It would be nice if you could make the trackable a link after logging the discovery. In the history view. So that it's easy to jump to the trackables page on the groundspeak page.

Keep up the good work!

As stated above.
