[Resolved] new request,

I want to place several new challenges, the first one is what I am calling a 3 X 3 state challenge, the cacher needs to find 3 different cache types in 3 different states in the united states, they can be any of the HQ current types and in any 3 states. if you have access to a pre approved cache page, then you can look at my first unpublished cache page,
GC6Y42M, it is not at the posted cords because I am not home to place the physical cache container yet and can't submit it for review without a challenge checker. I am also going to place a challenge for 4 states with 4 cache types,5 states with 5 cache types, 6 states with 6 cache types and 7 states with 7 cache types,(I don't qualify for the 7x7 yet). I am also going to place the same 3x3,4x4,5x5,& 6x6 for countries also, meaning find 3 different cache types in 3 different countries etc. I give you all this information so if the person writing the challenge checker has the time they can write a checker for each of those challenges. I will be placing them over the next few months if I can get a checker for each one. thank you

(I'm a reviewer, so I can see your cache page.)

To help the checker taggers, it can be any three cache types in the three states. It can be virtual, multi and unknown in State 1, wherigo, traditional and multi in state 2, and virtual, traditional and earthcache in state 3.

"Any of the HQ current types" appears to include grandfathered/special caches that are still active (available to log), such as Project APE, Geocaching HQ, virtuals and webcams, since the CO uses a virtual as part of his qualifying examples.

I would interpret "any of the HQ current types" to exclude locationless, Lost and Found (10 Years) Event, Groundspeak Lost and Found Celebration, and Geocaching Block Party. The CO can clarify if that isn't correct.

I am ok with any of the grandfathered cache types, active or not, my only goal with this challenge series is to get cachers traveling and getting as many cache types in each state and country as they can. does the current checker include all the past inactive cache types? if it does then I am good, and thanks for the quick response.

Here is the link to the checker http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC6Y42M/23881
The checker includes the District of Columbia but it can be excluded, just tell me

Please confirm if this is what you require!

thank you, it is what I wanted, how can I get the little challenge checker box that shows how many cachers have tried and qualify or didn't qualify? the one I can put on the cache page.

If you paste the following on your listing page you will get the little boxes

you can also follow this procedure
1. Go to your Checker's page here (linked above).
2. There are buttons on the right side of the screen. Click the bottom one that says "Link."
3. Follow the instructions in the pop-up box. Copy the HTML into your clipboard.
4. Go to your cache listing and place it in "edit" mode.
5. Paste the HTML from your clipboard into the desired location within your cache description.
6. Check the acknowledgment boxes at the bottom of the edit page and then save your changes.

Excellent! Thank you very much. last question, when I put the rest of the caches in place and need a checker for them, do I just contact you on this link or submit a new request.

You can put it as a new request in the forum or contact me direct, I will see this either way
