Okay, I just tried it. I half-a$$ed it (I didn't line up the BIA holes correctly--D'OH!), but making the holes and then cutting slits in the holes actually works!

Since you don't have a BIA, maybe hole punches might work for you? You don't need a hole for all of the wires, just enough to keep the plastic in place.

if I foster the box, can I update info in the clues. box is still there and still being found.

Nope. From the Glossary:


If you foster a box and then view the main page listing for that box, you'll see a field called Addendum and a link to add one.

Rosie Rios is the National Chair of America 250 celebration. She just gave a speech at the Daughters of the American Revolution yearly meeting to kick off our efforts to help celebrate. Our group has been gearing up with patriotic educational materials, etc.
happy 4th 🇺🇸

And here's something I just realized. One of your GLG cohorts added an addendum to an older box to tag it as being part of the mnglg25 series. When I viewed that box in Clue Tracker, I noticed the addendum has a nice yellow gradient highlight to really draw your attention to the addendum. Those Clue Tracker developers are always adding cool features!

I have 3 stamps that someone contributed to Soup's On several years ago and did not want the stamps returned. The boxer has not been on AQ in over a year.

Are they mine to do with as I wish?

Should I make them traditionals, HH, etc -- ?

They are yours! When I give away a carve, I intend that the receiver can use it any way they wish. Better “out there” than the bottom of my drawer.

Most people that I know that do that.Just use a blank piece of paper that they move around

Try this: Letterboxes > Search Clues > Select State Drop Down List & pick Iceland > Search.

It returned 8 boxes, including two of mine.

Okay I see that

here is another one.
I did an advance search for La Crosse WI and the following box, 377819, does not appear.
https://www.atlasquest.com/results.php?typeId=1&title=La+Crosse%2C+WI+%2815+mi%29&coords=43.81265,-91.252123&rad=15&location=la+crosse+wi

The reason box #377819 isn't showing up in your La Crosse search is because the box is incorrectly located. Click on View Map for it. It's showing up in the Prairie du Chien area, about 66 miles south of La Crosse.

I always lose that piece of paper, so I think the plastic snap-in might work better for me.

When I personally donate stamps, I prefer that they are used as traditional plants. But anything is better than being forgotten in a box.

(And I'm guilty of that for stamps I've received- but I'm trying to get them planted!)

Hi Memere,
One vote here for h.h.

I am thinking about a August postal. Hmmmm theme suggestions anyone?

We agree with BinoBoxer. They are yours.

I'm trying to add 3 new boxes. I have made a mess. I want to change my "clue" status from letterboxing.org to AtlasQuest. But, I deleted the box from LB. Now I'm in limbo. Looking for suggestions. Thank you!

Is there any way to edit a comment I posted as part of a LB checkup without having to delete the whole comment ?

I fixed the broken link. (And found some other broken links which I also fixed.)

Happy trails! =)

Yeah, another bad custom location. This time, the location was actually in a mystery town, in a mystery county, in a mystery state, and in a mystery country. The reason it looked like the box was in La Crosse was because the "name" of the location was entered as "La Crosse, WI".

But as far as AQ could see, it was a mystery location "somewhere in the world" that happened to have the name "La Crosse, WI." And the coordinates put the location of this "mystery town" over 50 miles away from the real town which didn't help matters.

So that's why it didn't show up in the search. It wasn't supposed to based on the provided information.

Clearly, however, the location was entered incorrectly and I fixed it to have a city of La Crosse and in the US state of Wisconsin so it should show up now.

All of the individual pieces of information that make a location do need to be correct for the search to work as expected!

Not sure if this will work or not - but if you delete the clue details - it might delete the location on LBNA if it's in your reserves - but honestly, I have no idea. You might have to delete the whole thing and start over :(

I believe your only option is to delete and start over :(

I'm not sure what this means. The clue status on LbNA is entirely separate from AQ. If you list boxes on both websites, the status needs to be updated separately on both websites.

Linking the two is something I want to do (eventually), but it sounds like you're trying to change something on one and hoping it would change on the other site, but that's not how it currently works.

-- Ryan

No. Just copy and paste the comment with the edits you want, then delete the old comment.

I followed your instructions and did get to a page with an option to change the clue status and WA LA! It worked. Thanks for taking the time to help me. dogpatch

I'm all set. I don't have much experience added boxes. I messed up and didn't know how to fix it. mudflinginfools made a suggestion and it fixed my issue. Thanks. Now onto the finish line. dogpatch

I'm looking for anyone who would be interested in boxing together on Friday. I have to be in Rockford IL on Sunday, my cousin is hosting a family gathering honoring his mom on her birthday. Several of my relatives are in their 90s, and everyone of these could be their last. So I am hitting the road early Sunday morning, but since boxes are temporary, I'd like to do some boxing Friday. Anyone interested in joining me?

I just found a really old box listed only on LBNA. (happy dance!) so I’m curious about something.

When you get a chance to link the two sites will we be able to log an LBNA only box as a listed find on AQ and not just as unlisted?

I have no idea if that’s even possible or maybe too much of a pain to do……but I am just curious.

I just tried going through the Browse Map, Canada/Greenland/Iceland, Greenland/Iceland and I still get 404 error, even after hitting CTRL F5.

Thank you!
