OPENCACHING NORTH AMERICA

I just thought I'd put in another request for Letterboxes to be a specific type of cache (maybe an envelope or a stamp) instead of just an attribute. When I add my finds to GSAK, they all get categorized as Traditionals. I'd be nice if they showed up in the correct category.

I'd like to second this suggestion. I have one hidden, and think the unknown type may be a bit misleading. The active OCUS cachers in my area are good about reading the descriptions before they go out, but having been a n00b at one point, I'd would have taken one look at the icon and not even looked at the description to see what it was. I do hope this can happen one day!

If I did the search correctly it looks like we only have 6 caches listed with the letterbox attribute, and all but one state that they are a letterbox in the short description. IMO, that is not enough to necessarily warrant a unique icon. But again, that's just my opinion.

Ahhh....but I have plans for more... I'd just like for them to show up correctly in my stats generated by GSAK.

I am going to put out an 18 cache series of Animal Tracks letterboxes in/around my area. I'm using the stamps in this set. http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/prod ... D=prd54200. I've got the stamps and the boxes, but I need to paint/tape them all up and find a log that will fit in the containers. I think I'll do these as a "bring your own stamp pad" series.

Thought I would share that the OC Team is discussing this issue in our forum area and will share out decision, soon.

My son and I are going to split these letterbox caches that I mentioned above. We are going to put a couple of stamps together in some of the caches. One of the stamps in the box turned out to be a duplicate, so we'll just keep it as a spare. The first of the series was placed today and we'll be placing more around our county soon.

I'm not that checked out on GSAK, but I did figure out how to change the type from Traditional to Letterbox on there. I would just rather it be automatic so I don't have to manually go in and fix them so that my Find Types show up correctly on the Stats.

The discussion in the team forum is still going. We'll let you know

I spoke with RVRoadTrip and he will work on it, but wont be able to get to it until the weekend.
