LonelyCache

Did you read my last reply here ? I believe it covers most of your questions, if not all of them. When I mention cache points, I mean, current cache points. If you have questions about how a specific cache is scored you can ask here, or on the LonelyCache cache page, expand the "Show cache poin...

One thing that doesn’t appear to be describe anywhere is this…. What makes a cache a “Backcountry” cache? I’ve asked via these forums, via direct messaging the site manager, via talking verbally to several other Geocachers. No one knows and/or will reply if they do know. I think this definition is ...

What 5 points? How are the points decided? I know the backcountry cache can be next to a paved road, and I got a cache that took 3 hours of off road trails that wasn’t a backcountry cache. It makes no sense. See the Knowledge Book Scoring Details for how caches are scored in LonelyCache. In a nutsh...

Hi, Here's my answers. For the year's top, there are two links. Currently, "Year's Top Cachers Leaderboard" for 2024, and "2023" for last year. For the backcountry leaderboards, a cache must have at least five cache points. "First Day Finder" is for everyone that finds ...

Hi, First, thank you to all who have become LonelyCache subscribers. I really appreciate it. I have updated LonelyCache. The changes are: Subscribers can now view recent notable finds for their Geocaching friends. The link for this is on your geocacher page, just below where the Most Wanted link is....

Hi,

I have just updated LonelyCache. This update fixes two issues:

• Anonymous users (users not signed in to LonelyCache) and basic users were encountering an error when attempting to view a cache.
• Properly handling failures when authenticating users with Geocaching.com.

I seem to be having an error pop up on all the pages. When I click on "Your found/owned", "Your not found/owned", "Longest Alone", or, "Longest Unfound", I get the message "The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred. This ...

Hi, I made another quick update to change how logs are sorted on the Geocache Page, and to ensure that FDF points are only shown with found-it logs.

Hi, I have just updated LonelyCache. There was a problem where some finds would be missed when a cache was fully updated. This occurs every four months. I am pretty sure I have fixed the cause of the problem. However, any caches where this occurred may not include the missing finds for up to four mo...

Hi,

I have just updated LonelyCache, turning on the subscription feature for everyone. For two weeks, a no-obligation two-week trial subscription will be offered. Do sign up.

Enjoy,

Hi, I have just updated LonelyCache. Adding on to the December 20, update : For subscribers, not only is the list of finders shown, but the text of find logs is now displayed, along with the ability to mark logs as a good story or helpful. Log images can also be viewed. All log types will now be dis...

I really like the new look of the cache presentation. Having the logs right there allows us to stay on site instead of hopping to GC.com. Thx. Yes, I really like having the logs and their images available within LonelyCache too. I tend not to hop over to GC.com nearly as much as I used to. LonelyCa...

Hi, I have just updated LonelyCache with the following changes: Added the subscription feature description to the Knowledge Book. It is not yet turned on but will be soon. Updated the Knowledge Book paging controls to be icon images instead of plain characters. Fixed an issue with the last update, w...

No, that was a mistake that has now been corrected.

Hi, I have just updated LonelyCache. The changes are: Rearranged the top of the Geocache page to be more space effective. Updated the paging controls to be icon images instead of plain characters. These are used in the Leaderboards, among other places. Reworked the What if subscriber special. It nev...

Hi, I have just updated LonelyCache. I'm really excited about this update as it brings me very close to releasing the LonelyCache subscription service I've been mentioning for far too long. I think this update finally differentiates the subscription features from basic features enough to where I'm c...

Hi, I just updated LonelyCache. Now that LonelyCache knows about geocachers' avatars, (see Nov 4, 2023 update), I have added showing the avatar as part of the name at the top of appropriate pages, such as a geocacher's hides and finds. The avatars are also shown on the home page.

Enjoy,
Russell

Hi, Today I updated LonelyCache. The updates are only for LonelyCache subscribers. The visible update is now most all lists of geocachers, will show the cacher's profile avatar. If the subscriber doesn't want to see the avatars, then there is a toggle to turn that off in the account Profile page. It...

Just another update for this mid-October. The latest counts for LonelyCache: 355,887 geocaches, 38,166,143 finds, and 1,014,089 geocachers. We dropped about 2000 geocaches and made it over a million geocachers.
