You can log geocaches ''online'' and ''offline''. An offline log means signing the geocache's logbook. An online log means writing an entry in the geocache's listing at the Opencaching website. | You can log geocaches ''online'' and ''offline''. An offline log means signing the geocache's logbook.

=== Found === | === Found === | ||
If you found a geocache, use the ''Found'' entry to log it. Many owners frown upon so called short logs. It is considered as bad manner. Please, take the time to write a nice entry telling the owner something about your geocaching tour and if you liked the cache or not. Was it easy to find or a challenge? Be kind and say thank you to the owner. | |||
If something is wrong with the geocache, needs to be criticized or there were any problems, don't hesitate to tell the owner. Remember to be polite and do not insult. | |||

=== Not found (DNF) === | === Not found (DNF) === | ||
Even if you <u>d</u>id <u>n</u>ot <u>f</u>ind a geocache, you should log it with a “not found” log. DNF logs are a good indication for the owner that something could be wrong with the geocache. If there are no logs for some time the owner would usually think, that everything is okay and just noone is seeking. | |||
You should add information why you did not find the geocache. Was there absolutely nothing to find at an obvious hiding place? Did you see remainings of a possible cache container? Was the hint making no sense (anymore)? Was the place crowded with [[muggle]]s? Did you forget necessary equipment? | |||
In case there was a reason causing you to stop seeking the geocache, you should add that information to the log. A hiding place could be overgrown with stinging nettles or someone put trash all around. A building site fence could also temporarily block the way. Don't hesitate to inform the owner. | |||
=== Note === | === Note === | ||
The log type ''Note'' is very useful to just write a note to the owner. Any issue, problem, full logbook, damage to the container or irritating description could be reported. If the hint is not applicable anymore, tell the owner. You can also write a "could-not-seek" log, for example if the geocache was not accessible due to a building site, a barrier or other reasons. | |||
=== Will attend === | |||
The log type ''Will attend'' is used for event caches. It is common practice to use that type to register for an event. Thus the organiser knows how many people want to attend. | |||
=== Attended === | === Attended === | ||
You can write an ''Attended'' log after an event to tell others about your experiences and say "Thank you" to the organiser . | |||
== Recommendations == | == Recommendations == | ||
If you like a geocache at Opencaching you can [[Recommendations|recommend]] it to other cachers. Geocaches with many recommendations are listed at the home page of the Opencaching website. You can tag a recommendation to a geocache when writing your log entry. Just check the box '''This cache is one of my recommendations.''' Any registered cacher on the Opencaching website can recommend geocaches. But - first you need to find 10 geocaches yourself. ;-) You get 1 recommendation star awarded per 10 finds of geocaches. After you got your first star, you can recommend your first geocache. | |||

The text field at the ''Add log-entry'' page is for entering all your notes, hints, information and stories according to your log type. | |||
There are three ways of text formatting: | |||
* The button '''Text''' activates a text-only mode without any formatting. | |||
* The button '''<html>''' allows to enter text with HTML formatting. You can also use an external HTML editor and then copy and paste its source code into the field. | |||
* The botton '''Editor''' activates the easy-to-use built-in text editor. | |||
Click on '''Log this cache''' to submit your log entry. | |||

Zeile 71: | Zeile 62: | ||
A log password is a special feature - mostly used for ''virtual geocaches''. Virtual geocaches do not have a hidden container. Instead you often need to find some word or nummer which then will be used as password to log online. The password field only appears if a password is required. | A log password is a special feature - mostly used for ''virtual geocaches''. Virtual geocaches do not have a hidden container.

== Log change of status == | == Log a change of status == | ||
Since [http://www.opencaching.de/articles.php?page=changelog#v3.0.8 Opencaching version 8] there are four new log types to change the status of a geocache: | |||
* ready for search | |||
* temporarily not available | |||
* archived | |||
* locked | |||
If you want to change the status, you need to write a corresponding log entry. Triggered by your log the system automatically sends notification emails to watchers of your geocache. The status changes of a geocache can now be found in the online logbook. | |||
== Delete a log == | == Delete a log entry == | ||
Sometimes it is necessary to delete one of your logs. Multiple entries or a log to a wrong geocache could be possible reasons. Deleting a log entry is quite easy. | |||

You can also delete a log entry from a geocache listing you own. There should '''always''' be an important reason to delete a log entry. Bad mood or disliking someone are '''NOT''' important reasons! Typical reasons could be log entries which violate the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiquette netiquette], multiple log entries or log entries which do not fulfil the log requirements. Keep in mind, that the person who did write the log entry will get an email notification about removing the log. | |||
