I got a cool tip from user paper trail. She was wondering if I’d gotten my own stamp back for her recent postal ring tracker.

1. Go to your stamp/box’s page
2. Click or tap the button for “Record checkup”
3. Scroll down to “Action performed”
4. Click “Found and checked”
5. Click or tap the Save button
6. Go to the tracker page for the postal
7. Scroll down to the grid—your stamp will now have a green checkmark instead of a blue O
8. Notice the other participants in the grid who have a green checkmark for their stamps—they know this tip! 😊

Marking your own stamp as found helps the owner of the tracker check at the end that all is well with everyone’s stamps. (Which honestly had never occurred to me.)

I’ve already gone back to all my completed postal ring trackers to mark those stamps as found.

Thanks, Laura!

Honestly, it was less expensive to buy them than send the ones I had!! Plus, belated birthday!

The box you linked, Rubaduc #56 Duc Loves the River, is my box. I saw the photo on the Reddit page, and that is not my box. There is another box in the park, https://www.atlasquest.com/boxes/clue/?boxId=354285 Perhaps it is that one. I will check on my box ASAP.

Not sure if I already suggested this? When recording finds for a long series of boxes it would be nice to have a "select all" button or check box to avoid the drudgery of manually selecting each box individually. You could then edit the selection for the one or two boxes you missed. Does that make sense?

I asked for this a couple years ago. Let's see if the idea gets any traction this time.

I like first finder prizes! I still have the ones I have found over the years. Periodically, I will include one of my LTC's that I have created as a first finder prize.

Fellow pathtag aficionado here!

Even though it would save time if we could select all of the boxes, I think it would result in many more accidental “finds” of boxes that are actually missing. That’s a problem for those future finders who tend to spend waaay too much time looking for a box if the previous finder said it was there, especially if the box had previously been marked as missing.

I’ve been burned by this more than once and wasn’t too happy with the person who marked it as found.

I also would like to see this as a function.

If this was added as a feature, I would only want to see it on boxes that are connected to events.

Yes, I agree that makes sense, but it’s probably tricky to code when some event series are permanent plants.

The pictured box looks to be a Boy/Cub Scout box of some kind. I did a cursory check of LbNA boxes in Seymour and didn't see a likely listing, but the information card references letterboxing.org. Anybody have a contact with Pack 65 of the Housatonic Council?

I couldn't understand why my box 345755 was not getting any activity while my series 309043 was. They are in the same location and connected in theme. When I did a nearby box search using either one of them, the other one wasn't listed, but on both of the boxes 296408 was listed, which is also in the same location. No wonder no one is looking for 345755! What's happening?

I don't know why 345755 isn't getting any activity. But for the three boxes you mention, if I search for nearby boxes on any one of them, I get the other two you mention at the top of the results. And if I search directly on the address listed on all three boxes, I get those three at the top of the results.

I tried again and it did the same thing. So i checked the search and it seems to default to hide my plants. When I removed that it showed up as you said. Is it a search default to hide plants? I'll have to try to remember that. Thanks for checking.
It's a shame that 345755 is ignored. One must go right by them when leaving 309043!

Well, we have a little tiny something going your way tomorrow morning, and it's not a postal tracker 😁♥️

Happy Easter!! Orrrrr, if you do or don't recognize today in any other way, Happy Sunday!! 😁♥️🫶🏼💐🌷🪻🪺

Same to you! Just had a wonderful Easter dinner with family and need a nap now!

yes that is the default

If I was Marjorie, I would be asking where my tribute page was. Seems like there was time for a job announcement for my replacement 🤔

She had a tributes page and an official obituary, and I even linked to it in the very first post announcing her demise.

After her miraculous return from the the dead, I had to retire the obituary and tributes page, but I copied the obituary to another page and edited the post to point there instead.

All of the tributes I re-posted at the end of her death announcement.

It was there, in any case! =)

There is a boxer who has been inactive and is getting active again. She would like to host an event and has a venue whose owner would like to work with her. I would like to put this lady in touch with anyone local or local-ish to Spartanburg who might be interested or could be helpful. Thank you.

Thanks!

When a box/series is a mystery and doesnt show the finder name, it used to at least show your own name so you could identify which date\comment were your own. Now (and for a while) it doesnt any more which makes it frustrating to see your own details when you still need some of a series, or you just want to know when you were there.

Hi locals-
I just read that the Traveler Restaurant in Union CT is closing. If anyone is inclined to save the letterbox there, that would be great.

I didn’t notice the board at first, but this is also something I’m experiencing on LbNA.

My apologies. I didn't see her candle.
