Re: Travel Bug/Geocoin Information
I forgot all about "Traveler Tags". Once of the first TIs we found was one of them. Haven't seen on for a long time. Are they still active? I went and searched the site just now for ones around us. They most recent post I saw was 2005 for any within 30 miles of us.

Re: Travel Bug/Geocoin Information
How about adding a comment about the tag-a-long things that people add to travelers that are NOT trackalble themselves. They can be a bit confusing to noobies.
As an example, a TB that I just took to a TB Hotel, had a Asian coin with a hole in the center attached to the TB chain. I did not read all the logs for the TB to see if anyone mentioned anything about adding it, so I had not idea what it was for.

Getting this up and running can't happen soon enough. Some classic new cacher errors were made this weekend.

Re: Travel Bug/Geocoin Information
Maybe for the strange little oddities that infrequently happen in TI handling, we can finish the information posts with the "Feel free to post here, and we will be happy to help you with it". Or e-mail us and we can help.
BTW, have you noticed that for at least over a month now GC has not been adding miles to trackables? We emailed the geopigs about it, and they said they are talking about it on groundspeak, and had a glitch like this last year. But still hasn't been solved yet, it appears.

Re: Travel Bug/Geocoin Information
Yeah, it's evidently not automatically calculating the mileage. If you are the owner of the TI, you can go over on the right side and click on the "mark item missing" spot and the click on "recalculate distance" when it drops down and then "go". I figured it out while looking at the page my "Cache Cop" GC. I hope they get it straightened out soon because doing it manually is kind of a pain.
Good Luck & Happy Hunting!

Re: Travel Bug/Geocoin Information
You're right, Eric. That wasn't working back a couple of weeks ago when we noticed this happening. Took a while, but now all our TIs are up-to-date.
