+cwgrizz Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 As stated in the title, today I discovered that all of my bookmark lists were deleted except the Ignore one which only had one cache listed. I discovered it when a PQ based on one of the BM lists did not update. Checking into it the BM List was gone (said it had been deleted) as well as the rest of my bookmark lists. Is GC doing some unannounced housecleaning or what? Needless to say, I am not really ready to go through the hassle of creating them again, but unless there is just a glitch that will be reversed soon, I guess I will. Anyone else seen this happen to them? Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 My bookmark lists look okay... Quote Link to comment
+cwgrizz Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 I am starting to think that it may have happened with the GC APP for iPhone. I never use it, but checked something out for someone having trouble with the APP and I think for some reason it deleted everything when I deleted one PQ. I never use the APP, but will have to research it some more. Anyway, it is causing me a lot of grief trying to rebuild the Bookmark lists especially for Solved Puzzles. Quote Link to comment
+Twinklekitkat Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. I've been concerned about that on the new app as well. It seems way too easy to accidentally delete a bookmark list. I think there should be some mechanism on the site where you could lock the list so it cannot be deleted. And maybe pick which ones you want to be shown on the app. I like that my lists are available to me on my phone but I really don't like that I could possibly delete one of them. Especially when some of them take a lot of work and research to create. And some of them I would never use on the app anyway. Some are just for reference or a list of FTF's and such. Not something I would ever use in the field. Quote Link to comment
+cwgrizz Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Apparently deleting ONE PQ was all it took to wipe out all of my Bookmark Lists except the one I could care less about: Ignore List with a grand total of one cache. The Bookmark List that hurts the most is the solved puzzles, not because I don't have the corrected coordinates, but I lost my notes to remind me how I solved them. Whoooooo it Hurts! I haven't opened the phone APP since the day last week when I looked for something for someone else trying to use it and I deleted the PQ. Why it deleted the bookmark lists at that time (if that is truly what happened)it is a very poor set up IMO. Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hi cwgrizz, I just finished unarchiving all of your bookmark lists that were archived and had been updated this year. There may be entries on those lists that you meant to leave archived; there is no way for me to tell when individual entries were removed from the lists. Quote Link to comment

+cwgrizz Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 WOW! Now I am blushing. Thanks for fixing me up Moun10Bike. That is service, but still leaves me puzzled on the fact that they were archived. I will check them out, but I think all is well because I don't change them much other than to add to them.

+kristen_058 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I noticed last week that one of my bookmark lists was missing. I thought I'd give it a few days and see if it was a bug that would get worked out. I logged in today and noticed another one was gone. This was my list of puzzle caches I was working on, and I'll be sad if it's unrecoverable. Has anyone else had this problem? Quote Link to comment

You should contact the help center; as you can see from prior posts, Groundspeak may be able to restore them. Quote Link to comment
