Profile/need maintenance? Is it possible to add a parameter to select the number of DNF before triggering

Sat, 05 Apr 2025 07:05:40 +0000

Would be great to add to the page Profile/need maintenance a parameter to select the minimum number of DNF to enter the list. For the moment ass soon there is one (1) 'need maintenance' it enter the list, i agree, but ass soon there is one (1) 'dnf' it is also included in the list. Would be great to have a parameter to select how many DNF before being counted for list. In my search for cache thet need maintenance i generally do not react before there is 3 consecutive dnf on the cache. Would be great also to have the same filter capabilities than in any other filter to select the type of cache as the tradi may require 3 dnf before being inspected, but for a multi, for the satisfaction of searcher, it could be reduced to 1 dnf before having a look.

As hider, what is your opinion. As developper, would it be so difficult to add this parameter? Have a great day all!

Request for a Cache Maintenance Badge

Sun, 11 Jun 2023 02:43:40 +0000

I enjoy doing cache maintenance and getting the troops in order. It’s almost as good as finding caches. I think it would be great to raise the profile of the green maintenance spanner to a level equivalent to that of a smiley.

Would it be possible to have your green spanners as part of your stats, and have a reward badge on BadgeGen too? I think this would be cool way to promote cache maintenance - it would be a win-win for COs and seekers.

I note that there were some comments previously about frequent maintenance suggesting a poorly designed cache - but I would argue that no cache can ever be maintenance free. There is always cache creep, full logbooks, wet contents, torn ziplock bags, rubbish and damage to containers that affect every single cache. Regular, pro-active maintenance is the sign of a committed CO, and it would be great to see this recognised.

New stats for owners about performed maintenance, how often, average per time / cache etc.?

I'm wondering if a few additional profile stats on the "hides" tab about owner's maintenance would be interesting for some people?

Just like "days since last maintenance" or total number of maintenance, average per time / per cache (wo events) etc.

Some more might be interesting and perhaps wouldn't be a great effort to calculate and add?

Set max logs for owner maintenance

Sat, 17 Jan 2015 18:11:55 +0000

Hi all,

it would be nice, to be able to define a number of logs for own geocaches. After these logs a owner has to change the logbook. I have caches were 30 geocache can sign the logbook, some where 60, some with 150 logs and some were 500 geocacher can sign.
It is very hard for me to know when i have to place a new logbook.

filter maintenance

Sat, 17 Jan 2015 12:58:36 +0000

Could someone help me (is it possible) to have a supplemetary filter to my placed cache needing maintenance, i.e. filter out all cache having only 1 not found and reporting in maintenance list all those which have more than 1 'not found'?

Thanks for hint, I just paid my adhesion and not yet confident in some new available features
