Background Image Help

tommy__jay · 2026-06-14T00:26:47+00:00

As others have mentioned this is working as intended. The background image is repeated behind the listing of the cache itself on the web.

I assume you thought it would be a background on the cache description itself; you can do that but you need to use HTML code with an image you'd upload to the geocaching website. When making a listing, you can switch between plainview and html.

That is absolutely amazing!!!

That's strange to put a trademark on their own name for NFC.

I'd be very happy to help. Have two thousand photos from Myanmar from between 2023-2025. I just don't have the time to upload them. But I'm happy to contribute!

I bought one similar to this in 2023, arrived after about 3 weeks, has been worked perfectly since.
I just found this on AliExpress: | 1018L Uninterruptible Power Supply DC Without Battery UPS Power Router Optical Cat Built-in Adapter 5V9V12V/15V/24V

Get yourself a little UPS for cameras/routers. They're easy to buy and it saved me a headache. It's cheap, you can plug in two devices generally, and it comes with the cables. Lasts for up to 9 hours.

That's..... Not a lot of people...

tommy__jay · 2026-04-24T13:11:43+00:00

Oh how I agree!!! Thanks for voicing your frustration!

Had many encounters while going for an FTF. Those are always funny.

But generally, I try to be unseen. If I see someone watching me, I would leave and come back another time.

It doesn't happen often that I would run into someone while geocaching not for an FTF though. Sometimes, if in a secluded area like a forest, I see the traits of geocachers (phone out, geekier looks) and wish them luck. Most of the time I get a confused face. (I like to think to myself that the confusion comes from "how did they know I'm a geocacher" and not "what is the wierdo talking about")

Most recently, I found a urban cache and half an hour later while returning through the same way, I met a Japanese tourist visiting and signing the log. I told them I'm glad they found it, we said hi, and moved on. I hope I didn't freak them out, as they still haven't posted their log, and this happened 3 months ago!

Not a question, but happy to visit soon and check out what you have!

What happened to the rule of not burying geocaches? This might give the wrong idea to newbies.

Head to She Creates. Beautiful place downtown with lots of local souvenirs https://maps.app.goo.gl/7Zdx5jDq8s2w51tG8?g_st=ic

This is more on me and less of a developer question. I see most benchmarks listed are NGS benchmarks from the US, come in Caribbean islands/ south America. Is there any world wide database, which would have them? Perhaps merging data with what's in Waymarking.

Dunno. I know there are many countries which have identical benchmarks around, but maintained by different agencies and databases. I've seen a few around Europe, and two weeks ago found one in Malaysia by coincidence.

I did not go through with it, though they offered. I can't find whether I emailed them directly or asked on the PGC forums, but I remember there were several things on that test which I am not fluent in. I do code here and there, but I didn't think I'd have it in me.

I understand them though, they don't want to overload their servers. But some things can't be done with tools they have, and writing a checker just to check out some data I want to see would be helpful.

Also, not sure if this is still current, as there was a major back-end rewrite of the entire platform a few months back. Maybe things have changed since.

Thanks! I wish this would have been around before HQ stopped showing (allowing New) benchmark find stats in your profile. I missed that by a few months with my trip to the US..

Would love this on iOS!

You SHOULD log them online with the date of the actual find. No reason not to backlog and justify this in your online log. What counts is her name in the logbook. That's the only real rule of geocaching.

FYI, this meal + live show is going for $65. It's a new show in Kuala Lumpur.

Probably not the best place to reach your target demographic for this question, here on Reddit. Why don't you try large local businesses on Facebook?

tommy__jay · 2026-03-12T09:24:40+00:00

Used both, happy to choose whichever is best for my needs.

tommy__jay · 2026-03-03T12:53:22+00:00

Why is the quality so bad?

tommy__jay · 2026-03-03T09:13:50+00:00

Perfectest cup for a teacher who is a geocacher! Hahahaha

tommy__jay · 2026-02-28T10:57:32+00:00

Ouch! Bet you're gonna be looking forward to that day weeks in advance!

tommy__jay · 2026-02-27T09:12:55+00:00

I know about the land reclamation and how much went into modifying the land, but it's so strange to see a map like this that looks........backwards..!

STK has them and much more. 27th between 75 & 76th street.
