| − | | |
| − | [[Geocaching Australia]] can record your cache recommendations for others to see. You are allowed to recommend in a ratio of 1 recommendation to 10 finds (1:10).
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Recommending caches allows other cachers to see what caches you felt were worthwhile. It can be useful for visiting cachers to plan a day out, for local cachers to see what quality is in the local area and to say thankyou to the owner for a memorable experience.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A recommendation does not indicate WHY a cacher recommended that cache.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It could be because:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * A particularly cunning hide
| |
| − | * A great place to visit
| |
| − | * An ingenious container
| |
| − | * Quality of the swaps
| |
| − | * Or, something else entirely.
| |
| − | | |
| − | (Note: as an alternative, you can also record a 1-5 [[Rating]] for a cache.)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===To recommend a cache===
| |
| − | * Go the the cache page of the cache you wish to [[Recommended cache|recommend]].
| |
| − | * Click on the "Recommend" action on the right hand side.
| |
| − | * Alternatively, in your log at [[Geocaching.com]], add the string ''*Recommended*'' (including asterisks, case insensitive) and when your log reaches [[Geocaching Australia]], it will recommend the cache for you.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A FTF, Rating or Recommendation will ONLY be applied ONCE.
| |
| − | It will ONLY be applied the FIRST time a log is loaded.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This stops the potential issue of:
| |
| − | A cacher giving a rating of 3.
| |
| − | Coming in and editing the rating directly, changing it to 4.
| |
| − | Someone else loading an old GPX file which would change the rating back to a 3.
| |
| − | | |
| − | So even if you edit a log on GC, because the log has already been loaded, the FTF, rating or recommendation will not be applied as we cannot guarantee it's not going to overwrite a manual update.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Recommending your own caches===
| |
| − | | |
| − | You cannot recommend your own caches, but you can flag them as [[Hiders choice cache]]s.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Viewing [[Recommended cache]]s===
| |
| − | Recommended caches appear in bold gold text where ever they appear throughout [[Geocaching Australia]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can also view:
