How do you enter a new Locationless Cache

[eclose]

Can anyone tell me how to enter a new Locationless Cache. I don't see an area to enter one in.
Thankyou

Eclose, Good question.
Actually Groundspeak has gotten rid of making new locactionless caches for the moment. The reason from what I read on the GC forums is that people were sending new ones that were getting pretty lame and I bet another reason is it does take alot of drive space for the logs and pics that have to get uploaded. I on the other hand take great pride on my CCC locationless cache and plan on keeping it till they shut it down. www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=23182

But here is a quote from the man himself.

They'll be back. With limited staff to complete the new site quickly (and with limited bugs in a release) we're spending longer than initially planned. Our priorities at the moment are:

1. Speed up the existing site to support double growth over the last few months. Right now I'm working to improve the speed of the nearest cache page (the most resource-heavy)
2. Completely replace the map server.
3. Introduce Geocaching.com Gen 2, which is more feature-rich and fast, incorporating many of the recommendations made over the past 2 years to improve the web site.
4. Mystery projects for Premium Members.

Some of these projects are going on concurrently, and some (like locationless caches) are backburnered until the more important items are completed.

I find locationless caches of monumental importance and have a lot of ideas on how to make them more fun and manageable. Trust me that we will not abandon them, but we need more time to get these projects listed above so we have a healthy base to complete the locationless cache features.

Now, other things I have seen is a preview of the new GC page. It looks pretty neat so far. And hopefully locationless caches will be brought back into the fold.

You can still enter a log on a exsisting one.

Thanks for posting Eclose!
