    Anyone know of a way other than logging a found, on a cache to get it to not show up in your query? I’m part owner of one and would like it to not show up on my list.

    thanks

    Mike – go ahead and claim it as a find, or put it on an ignore list. Either way, it’s your choice.

    One addition to Marc’s note: If you use the ignore list, be sure to check the “Not on my Ignore List” box in your PQ setup. (It only took me 4 tries to figure this out! DOH!)

    It is much simpliar than the above responses.

    When ya do your PQ, check the box under THAT labeled “I dont own”. It is pretty simple, and then done of your own caches will show up in the PQ.

    Uh, Zuma, he was asking about caches that he was co owner of where the other person was the official owner.

    Here’s the dilemma. Say you are a co-owner of a cool cache that you were asked to be part of putting together and you know what it is and where it is.

    If you log it, you look silly and logging the find makes you feel a bit like you are cheating, at least that’s how some will see it if they are particular about numbers.

    If you ignore it with the Ignore It function, then you can’t put it on you watch list to see the logs which you don’t get to automatically see since you are not the official owner of the cache.

    I think most cache co-owners want to read the logs and get notifications when a cache they co-own is found. That’s the point of co-owning a cache.

    You only have 2 options in this case. Live with your co-owned caches coming up on your search queries by not logging them as found. Or. logging them as a Found It, even though you may have been the one that actually placed it!

    It seems to me that there needs to be some additional feature that would allow co-owners to ignore listings yet monitor them. Sounds complicated.

    Do you use GSAK to manage your caches? If so, just allow it to be included in your PQs, but delete it from GSAK and be sure to select the “Also stop future imports from adding back in” checkbox. You’ll still get notifications, but it won’t take up a spot on your GPSr when you upload caches.
